For Standart Issue 34, we interviewed Satoshi & Makoto and discussed what a sonic expression of coffee might sound like.

Now—two years later, it came to life in a form of a collaborative LP.

Musical backdrop for your coffee rituals

An imaginary cafe, a space of contemplation, connection and inspiration. The partnership with Standart reinforces this conceptual layer, bridging music and coffee culture into a cohesive narrative that feels both intimate and international. The result is an album that unfolds like a slow ritual: warm, enveloping and meticulously detailed.

'With Mirage Cafe , the duo not only meet expectations after a six-year silence — they surpass them. This is a masterwork of nuance and vision, poised to become a defining chapter in their discography and a standout release in the contemporary electronic landscape.'

About the artists

Japanese electrenic duo Satoshi and Makoto rose to prominence in 2017 when they released an album of electronica composed entirely on a Casio CZ-5000 digital synthesizer, and their low-key, minimalist jams have proved to be a popular musical choice for specialty cafes around the world.
