Murcof is the performing and recording name of Mexican electronica artist Fernando Corona. Born in 1970 in Tijuana, Mexico, Murcof draws inspiration from classical and electronic minimalism. His unique sound combines orchestral samples with meticulously crafted textures, sounds, and rhythms.
Influenced by a diverse range of artists such as Dictaphone, Loscil, Kangding Ray, Deaf Center, Pan-American, Jan Jelinek, Taylor Deupree, Fennesz, Susumu Yokota, Tomasz Bednarczyk, Vladislav Delay,Arovane,Rafael Anton Irisarri ,Deru,Akira Rabelais ,alva noto ,Monolake ,Thomas Köner ,Chihei Hatakeyama,and Tim Hecker,Murcof has carved out his own unique space in the world of electronica.
With a discography that spans multiple albums and collaborations with other talented musicians,Murcof continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Whether you're a fan of classical music or electronic beats,Murcof's music offers an immersive listening experience that will captivate your senses.

Utopía, a specially priced collection featuring sympathetic reworkings of tracks from Martes, the two tracks from 2003's exceptional Ulysses 12", both tracks from the Utopía Remixes 12" (April 2004) and two further previously unreleased Murcof tracks, ‘Una’ and ‘Ultimatum’. More a companion piece to Martes than a prelude to the new album, Utopía distils the essence of the first album into sinuous new forms. The remixers employed here are a typically global bunch for The Leaf Label, including Sutekh (Context Free Media/San Francisco), Supersilent producer Deathprod (Rune Grammofon/Oslo), Icarus (The Leaf Label/London), Corona’s Mexican collaborator Fax (Static Discos/Mexicali), Jan Jelinek (Scape/Berlin), Geoff White (Force Inc/USA) and Colleen (The Leaf Label/Paris) delivering her first ever remix.
