Close to the tenth disc on Indigo aera's ÆX series the Amsterdam label strikes again with a solid five track selection on ÆX009. Curated by Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff they invited five like-minded friends with their take on techno and electronics.

Production duo D&S starts with a seven minutes of warm and moody grooves on 'The Invisible Workings'. Followed by the nostalgic dub tinged pads from De Lichting affiliate Kaap and Rotterdam based producer Ben Buitendijk showcasing his ambient side with 'Head In The Clouds' where he leads you to bright and dreamy territories. On the b-side ESHU's Tetelepta returns to the series with his trademark rhythmic and minimalistic approach and fresh debutant Human Space Machine closes things off with a melodic uplifting take for dance-floor ecstacy.

b2. Denote - Curl

We've reached the 10th installment on Indigo aera's AEX series. A collection of hand-stamped white labels raised from friendship and family, a collection of like-minded artists having fun in their shared studio spaces in Amsterdam and around.

On the 10th disc it's another collection of familiar faces. ESHU's Tetelepta is up first with his dusty deep-house floater followed by De Lichting affiliate Human Space Machine jamming his way through melancholic melodies. Nathan Surreal makes his debut on AEX, with recent outings on Analogue Solutions and Biologic Recordings he here brings his bright and powerful grooves to a place that feels like home right in the middle of his De Lichting friends. On the b-side Kaap shows his love for traditional dub-techno once more with a stretched out and carefully crafted dub excursion. A wonky beat trip by Denote wraps things up on this versatile and sparkling slab of vinyl.

"After a few months of silence, we can finally announce what we have been working on for a long time. A full and bold new chapter of 5 new ÆX releases. What started off as a sublabel of Indigo Aera, during the last years has grown out into a fully-fledged 'imprint'. The recipe remains simple: 4 or 5 tracks from various artists pressed on a limited batch of vinyl. A straight forward track selection of machine-made music in the full range consisting of Dj-tool dancefloor anthems to experimental soundscapes and ambient works. A home for talented new producers, but also a place for more incognito sidesteps of established names."

ÆX011 welcomes back Tetelepta, Daniel Jacques and Selfsoul and welcomes Dutch dub techno connaisseur Roger Gerressen to their series. Tetelepta kicks of with a mesmerizing 8 minute floaty downtempo jam where Roger follows up, increasing the pace with a razor-sharp dub techno cut. On the flip, Daniel Jacques brings his emotive house once more topped off by Selfsoul with a fierce techno work-out. A tasteful appetizer for more heat to come in these exciting white label series from Amsterdam.

We're back with the 12th installment for its various artist compilation series. ÆX012 presents 2 new names to the ÆX roster: Troy and Albert van Abbe. You might know for Troy for his output on Klockworks while Albert van Abbe keeps pushing quality releases on his own imprints. They are responsible for 2 high-energy techno rollers which set the tone for this bold new ÆX chapter. They are accompanied by households Taupe - showing his skills with a Drexciyan electro-techno workout. On the B-side, we find a typical melodic 909 jam by Jasper Wolff while Tetelepta and Kaap finish things off in dub-depth craft and mastery.
