In June 2014, Icelandic producer Yagya will release his fifth album, Sleepygirls, across three slabs of vinyl and one mixed CD on Dutch label Delsin. It's a deep, spacious and dubbed out affair that stays locked at a pleasingly sedentary tempo throughout.

Since 2002 the definitive member of the Thule Musik collective has been crafting lush electronic albums under his Yagya alias and always manages to find pure bliss and beauty and his simple, nature inspired soundscapes. He deals exclusively in full lengths and to date they have come on labels like Sending Orbs, Force Inc. and Subwax Bcn. 

"I wanted to create an album that's atmospheric, repetitive, and easy to listen to over and over again," says the man himself. "Something that works well in the background (e.g. when concentrating on work), as well as up close in a big sound system. I also wanted to learn how to make my music sound better than before, since I'm a huge sound-nerd, so that was a part of the goal for me personally."

The album is a fine fusion of tropes from Yagya's earlier albums, features jazz instrumentalists that improvise beautiful melodies over monotonic, almost drone-like, techno beats and also uses live recordings of Japanese vocals, saxophone and guitar to counter the repetitiveness of the rhythms.

Right from the rolling bliss of the opener, you're suspended in a womb like pillow of sound that is soft, warm and serenely beautiful. As tracks roll on, the pace stays the same but themes vary from upright and summery to more elongated and insular. This is natural, organic dub that is a delight and a pleasure to listen to. 

The vinyl versions of each track have been specially mixed with random LFOs, sonic quirks and unique fingerprints making them the subtly different to the CD version, but overall this is a brain soothing and mind melting album that can soundtrack lazy days, long summer afternoons and warm winter evenings in equal style.

Toki Fuko - Forest [Winter Session]

Wait stranger, take a look around.
Have you ever noticed how many things are happening around, that everything has its own rhythm, its sense of time and space. And all about that is interconnected. Time... It's what points the way, making you different from whom you were a moment ago. It is worth remembering, it flows in only one direction, and therefore causes such a strong interest.
Let the rhythm of time pass through you and give it free rein. And then it becomes clear that the present moment is something elusive. This is the moment when emotions, events and space merge together, when you catch yourself of thinking that the moment you are living is eternal. But only here and only now.
If you could choose which moment to pause and make it last forever, which one it would be?

In the compilation, the theme of time was used as a foundation. Each participant revealed it in its own way, original and unique. Each of them knows exactly how to stop time and grasp the moment of eternity. Pleasant journey.
