Meet Y07: Ukraine’s Rising Star in Experimental Electronica
Y07 first began making music in his teenage years in his bedroom, using the medium as a tool for self-discovery; he later released his debut single in 2018. Since then he has become a fully developed artist with a talent for commanding audiences at both intimate gigs and massive festivals – surely a hallmark of an electronic music artist who is worth your time. His sound has evolved alongside events in his own life, drawing from personal experiences and a deep introspection that can be heard throughout his emotional electronic music debut.
Explore the Story Behind Y07’s Transformative Debut
If you take away anything from this review, take it that Y07 – Encoded is a must-listen new experimental electronica album for 2025. With each of the nine tracks representing an aspect of the artist’s personal journey, there are all sorts of musical elements to sink your teeth into, including glitchy ambient textures, fractured vocal samples, cinematic synth builds, and moments of stark, minimalist beauty.
One particularly powerful moment in this regard is the lead single Take It Slow, which blends an intimate vocal with swelling pads, sparse percussion, and a grainy, looping piano line that feels as though it may split in two at any second. All in all, it’s a track that represents Y07’s inimitable ability to blend tension with vulnerability, and power with control. In this sense it sets the tone for the rest of Y07 – Encoded, and we hope that this review has left you with the impression that this is an album which is more than worth your time!
