Jakyro - Seven

Review by AYAD wf

Seven by Jakyro: A Techno Time Capsule from 2000 That Still Kicks Alright, let’s talk about Seven by Jakyro. This album dropped in 2000 and man, it’s like a snapshot of Europe’s electronic music scene back then—France, Italy, Germany all vibin’ together under one roof. You’ve got labels like Omnisounds and Underground backing it up, which already tells you this isn’t some half-hearted effort. Nope, this is legit. First off, the credits are stacked with talent. Joy Kitikonti (what a name!) wrote, composed, and produced the whole thing. M. Chiticonti handled arranging and mixing, so yeah, they weren’t messing around when it came to crafting these beats. And Gianfranco Bortolotti as executive producer? Dude was basically the godfather of Italian dance music at the time. So much pedigree here—it feels like you’re holding something important just by pressing play. Now, onto the tracks. There’s “Seven (File 1 Mix)” and “Seven (File 3 Mix),” but honestly? It’s “Seven (File 2 Mix)” that hits different. The regular version is dark, pulsing techno perfection, while the radio edit smooths out the edges for broader appeal—but even that shorter cut still slaps hard. What sticks with me is how relentless it feels, like your heartbeat syncing up with the kick drum until you forget where you end and the music begins. It’s not just a song; it’s an experience. You don’t listen to it—you live inside it. And then there’s “Seven (File 3 Mix).” Oh man, this one takes things deeper. It’s more house-y, less aggressive than File 2, but no less hypnotic. I remember hearing it late at night once, alone in my room with headphones on, and suddenly feeling like I’d been transported somewhere else entirely. Like maybe a sweaty Berlin club or a deserted Italian rave field circa Y2K. It builds slowly, layering synths over pounding basslines until you can’t help but move. Not bad for a track made 20+ years ago, huh? What makes Seven special isn’t just its production quality or genre-blending brilliance—it’s the way it captures a moment in time. Back in 2000, people were freaked out about the future, but also kinda excited. This album channels both vibes perfectly. It’s chaotic yet controlled, intense yet oddly comforting. Listening to it now feels like finding an old mixtape in your attic and realizing it still sounds fresh. Here’s the kicker though: If Joy Kitikonti never made another album after this, Seven would still stand tall. But knowing she poured her soul into every note? That makes it hit even harder. Honestly, if aliens landed tomorrow and asked me to explain human emotions through music, I’d hand them this album without hesitation. Then I’d probably apologize for Nickelback existing. So yeah, check out Seven. Just don’t blame me if you lose hours zoning out to those beats.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *Seven* by Jakyro is like a hidden gem from the electronic music scene in 2000. It blends techno, house, and hard trance, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and ahead of its time. What makes it even more interesting? The entire project was a family affair—Joy Kitikonti wrote, composed, and produced the tracks, while Gianfranco Bortolotti, likely a close collaborator, served as the executive producer. Even the mixing and arranging were handled by M. Chiticonti, tying the creative process together. With its release spanning France, Italy, and Germany, *Seven* carried a piece of underground electronic culture across Europe. And fun detail: there’s a "File 2 Mix Radio Edit," showing they tailored the sound for different audiences. Not bad for an album with just one track remixed in multiple ways!
