Totem of Quiet Mystic
A 7 track world fusion album (43m 46s) — released July 25th 2025 on Dubsoul Records
Jiyu has been described as modern late-night nu cosmic space jazz, and releasing their latest highly acclaimed second album, Totem of Quiet Mystic, the group has received international recognition from medias like Jazzwise and from a wide array of iconic DJs like Patrick Forge and Chris Coco.
The deep instrumental arrangements, packed with analog synths, electric piano, brass themes, choir arrangements, and unique bass-drum-percussion grooves, boldly push the boundaries across genres, spanning from contemporary, jazz-funk and world-crossover to spiritual jazz and cosmic ambient Jazz.
“There’s a distant spiritual jazz feel that lends a bit of depth and also a touch of 1970s CTI-like calmness in the instrumental passages that coalesce into a series of trancelike moods that largely pass by free from incident, a sort of 21st century version of Eric Satie’s ‘Furniture Music’ with synths” - Stuart Nicholson Jazzwise (UK)
”This sounds beautiful” - “They have the background vibes from their great city with a rich history of jazz music, and a way of playing around with a classic sound that makes it feel fresh and contemporary. Dive in” - Chris Coco The Chill Out Tent (UK)
