Brazilian DJ Murilio Faria, a.k.a. Mura, who co-founded Aldo, The Band alongside his brother—the band chosen to open for Radiohead in Brazil in 2018— now steps into the spotlight alone, unveiling his solo project, Heal Mura, with his album "The Limited Repetition of Pleasure." With this release, he formally invites you into his world—a sonic realm where rhythm, emotion, and atmosphere collide.
His influences are diverse, ranging from Flying Lotus to Brian Eno, each playing a role in shaping his unique sound. Heal Mura's music is an intricate fusion—an epiphany transcribed into sound.
Carefully crafted within the walls of his own studio in São Paulo, “The Limited Repetition of Pleasure” marks a new chapter in his artistic journey. Born from an extensive study of rhythms and melodies, each track offers an exceptional experience, blending electronic music with his Brazilian roots. Mura’s album is a reflection of his transformative experiences—psychedelic journeys, travels across Asia, encounters with Theravāda Buddhist monks, and a deeply personal healing journey with a Brazilian shaman. Each moment left an imprint on "The Limited Repetition of Pleasure," making it anything but an ordinary listening experience.
With eleven tracks in total, each song stands out while contributing to a cohesive sonic journey—an impressive feat in itself. The album opens with “More Pillows Than Heads,” a mesmerizing introduction that layers hypnotic rhythms with ethereal vocals, elevating the experience to something almost otherworldly. “Neti Neti” and “Heal” stand out as well, incorporating elements of Bwiti Iboga rituals in Gabon, resulting in a profoundly spiritual and immersive atmosphere. Other highlights include “Nimitta,” which features a sample of “Danado Cantador” by the Paraiban Fernando Falcão, showcasing Heal Mura’s Brazilian heritage, and “Tantrum,” a fusion of traditional EDM with unconventional samples. The latter delivers an energetic and danceable track that could seamlessly fit into the System Shock 3 soundtrack if that game ever sees the light of day.
Heal Mura has pushed the boundaries of his craft to create an experience unlike any other. Incorporating rare instruments and unconventional styles, he has crafted an album rich in both sonic depth and spiritual significance. “The Limited Repetition of Pleasure” is an easy recommendation for those eager to embark on a mystical auditory journey. Perfect for fans of experimental, genre-blending music, this album resonates with listeners who appreciate the fusion of electronic soundscapes with cultural and spiritual influences. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or simply seeking a fresh sonic adventure, Heal Mura’s work promises a deeply immersive and thought-provoking odyssey.
