Jiyu is a producer duo from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Inspired by a fusion of hip-hop, electronica, soul and jazz improvisation, the duo is slowly establishing themselves on the Scandinavian electronica scene. With their abstract organic fat beats and impro instrumentalism, they are digging a futuristic sound with a love for the old-school. So far they have 2 digital releases out and these are here collected for the first time on vinyl.
The music is dark, abstract, psychedelic hip hop full of soul and love to the improvised moments in jazz and life. Both programmed beats and studio recordings with hours of studio jams are the background of these final tracks.
The EP includes remixes by releasing artists such as Copenhagen based Lord Akton and former Blue Foundation DJ tatsuki* from Osaka, Japan. Danish underground artist Ratio:72 is introducing here with his first remix, giving the Jiyu sound new colors and vibes.
