Atmospheric producer Vindu started making music at the age of 16 and has since captured millions of listeners. With an artist name that comes from the Star Wars character "Mace Windu" (real ones know), his sound is full of moods and emotions and spatial bliss. Like spa music with bass. Like a drum kit in a dojo. First producing melodic/progressive house music and then evolving to synthwave, the Spain-based artist (by way of Bosnia and Herzegovina) eventually found his sound in the lofi, chill beats space. All this history and yet his musical journey is just beginning... Vindu's new album is his first full-length in four years. The fourteen track LP features plenty of friends and collaborators (Nathan Kawanishi, paris91, Slumberville, Akmigone) and is packed with harps and flutes, drums and bass. The tracks are hard-hitting hip-hop beats mixed with atmospheric chillhop mixed with Japanese-inspired soundscapes. This feels like the soundtrack to an anime or video game that exists in Vindu's head. It's atmospheric, emotional, and immersive. Press play and drift far, far away. The Bosnian beatmaker, who made his first trip to Japan in October, uses the term 'Gaijin' in his album title, a Japanese word for foreigner. Here, he's on a long journey, finding insight and inspiration every step of the way. "Gaijin means a foreigner in Japanese," says Vindu. "I felt like Japan was my second home, or my home in some past life but now, I feel like a foreigner who is always welcomed there. In the mysterious and colorful lands of the rising sun. Upcoming album has that feeling of how it is to be a foreigner in Japan, exactly how I felt when I visited it for the first time now."
