Mirae Arts (founded by Elbert Choi) is a new label based in the suburban bowels of El Cerrito, California, USA. Elbert Choi, originally from South Korea, is inspired by the mountainous landscapes of Northern California and is focused primarily on releasing music with blissful & natural soundscapes.

The debut 12” EP on Mirae Arts is called Prayers By The Lake, produced by Seraphim Rytm. Seraphim Rytm, based in Belgium, is the alias of Damaskin, the veteran master of dark hypnotic techno who has releases on esteemed labels such as Unknown Precept, Noiztank, and 10 Label (Japan). Damaskin debuted as Seraphim Rytm with a celestial album called Aeterna on Vancouver’s Silent Season, which was reviewed by Resident Advisor as being “deeper-than-deep techno shrouded in the damp atmospherics of the rainforest”. Prayers By The Lake continues the sonic journey into the beautiful complexities of nature and this time invoking images of an isolated lake surrounded by mountains in seasonal transition. The EP consists of three high-powered ceremonious tracks and concludes with a beautiful ambient closure.

The artwork is by landscape photographer Cody Cobb (www.codycobb.com) who is responsible for the artwork on Haxan Cloak’s breakthrough album, Excavation (Tri Angle). Cody has also worked for labels such as Permanent Vacation and 10 Label.
