Ukrainian electronica artist Y07 makes a striking debut with “Encoded”, a nine-track odyssey that pulses with the quiet intensity of personal metamorphosis. Structured around the Buddhist symbolism of nine as a number of completion, the album weaves electro and electronica into a meditation on rebirth, born from the artist’s own period of profound transformation.
The production reflects Y07’s four-year hiatus spent refining his craft, balancing experimental textures (reminiscent of influences like James Blake and Sega Bodega) with raw emotional directness. Tracks oscillate between introspective bedroom-electronica intimacy and moments of expansive, festival-ready depth, all while inviting listeners to project their own stories onto the soundscape.
Though rooted in Y07’s Ukrainian upbringing and self-taught journey, “Encoded” reveals an artist already evolving beyond his debut, hinting at new directions while establishing a voice that’s both personal and universally resonant.
On Encoded, Y07 crafts an introspective sonic world where glitchy textures meet meditative depth—a debut as emotionally rich as it is technically precise.
