Auf dem isländischen Label Möller Records erscheint dieser Tage unter dem Titel “Mælifell” ein Remixalbum zu Elif Yalvaçs vor einem knappen Jahr erschienenem und ebenfalls stark kollaborativ ausgerichtetem Longplayer “My Heart Of Noise”. Insgesamt neun internationale Acts – Ilkama, Hjalti Steinn Sigurðarson, Nacite, Bananafish, Runar Magnusson, Bistro Boy, Metehan Köktürk, Arus und nicht zuletzt die Komponistin selbst – geben den jeweils ausgewählten Tracks ein ausgesprochen diverses Antlitz und betonen so ihr großes Potenzial. Das Album erscheint als digitales Release. 
“This upcoming remix album titled Mælifell features 9 different artists from various countries including Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Armenia, UK, and Turkey. The album will be released on 1 February 2024 by Möller Records. Möller Records is known for its eclectic catalog of electronic music in Iceland and beyond. Möller Records star Bistro Boy joins Maelifell, remixing Heart of Noise from the April 2023 release My Heart of Noise. This album is a product of Elif Yalvaç’s extensive international collaborations with other artists in her search of pushing the boundaries and making the most of magical musical connections that contributed a lot to where she positions herself today. As with the previous release, Maelifell is inspired by the stunning and dramatic Icelandic landscape. This time, there are new explorations in other lands too. The title refers to a volcano in Iceland while carrying the artist’s name in it: MaELIFell. Elif Yalvaç has traveled to Iceland multiple times for musical collaborations and landscape explorations and field recordings. As the composer made her first return to Iceland in September 2023 after the pandemic, she performed in the experimental art space Mengi, from her adopted home the UK. The remix album is part of Elif Yalvaç’s collaborations in Iceland but also beyond. This time, she takes it to her new adopted home, the UK, and to where she came from, Turkey, with a diverse set of electronic music artists joining her in this remix. Instruments artists use in the album include synthesizers, field recordings, and voice. Each artist picked a track from Elif Yalvaç’s previous collaborative album My Heart of Noise (April 2023) to remix with their own voice and methods in this album. The result is celestial ambient sounds with abrasive energy, remixed with Autechre-like beats and glitches while drawing on the unique diverse approaches of both Maelifell and My Heart of Noise participants. Mælifell differs from the previous record with a more accessible approach and beatmaking practıces.
