Sinjitos Collective is a music label founded by Joseph Saryuf with a vision of offering variety into the saturated Indonesian music scene. It was started as an outlet to release the music by Sinjitos Studio’s regulars before finally evolving into a legitimate label in 2007. Unlike many labels that limited themselves on releasing music within a specific genre, Sinjitos Collective is keen on releasing good music with diverse sounds and styles, whilst also distributing releases by other labels.

For such a young label, Sinjitos Collective has some of the most impressive catalogs in recent years. Its first artist, Gugun And The Bluesbugs’ "Turn It On" is well-received among critics and music fans, and listed as one of the best local releases in 2007 by Rolling Stone Indonesia. In only two days after Turn It On, another band under SInjitos, Santamonica —which is Joseph’s band— gets nominated as The Best Local Release by Free! Magazine and listed as one of the favorites by editors of Trax Magazine as well as one of the best albums for its debut LPs “Curioser & Curiouser” in 2008 by Rolling Stone Magazine. Sinjitos’s third release, Monkey to Millionaire's “Lantai Merah” proven to be one of the most successful debut in 2009 and is well-received among fans and critics. The album is listed as the 2009's best lists by publications like Rolling Stone Indonesia, Trax Magazine, Detikcom, Jakarta Globe, and Malaysia's Junk Magazine.

Modern Radio is an independent and DIY record label based out of Minnesota. The label was founded in the Spring of 1999 by Tom Loftus to document a growing community of artists in the Twin Cities area. Peter Mielech began helping with the label and became a partner officially in 2005. The focus of the label is to support the artists and provide an atmosphere where they can focus on their art. We are following in a long tradition of artist-oriented independent record labels where profits are secondary to the creative process. Ultimately we are simply music fans who want to share the music we love.

Historically, the majority of the artists we're worked with have been or are currently based out of the Twin Cities. We are proud of the place we live and to be part of such a vibrant arts community. We have never limited our scope to the Twin Cities and have worked with a number of artists from around the US.

Popol Vuh are considered as an influential German 70s Progressive Rock avant-garde act and are known as a pioneering band in Ambient-Electronica and Progressive Rock Music. Their records "Affenstunde" (1971) and "In den Gärten Pharaos" (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are claimed to be fundamentally influencing works in Electronica. They went down in the annals of German film music history with their soundtracks for legendary cinema classics like "Aguirre", "Fitzcarraldo", "Nosfeartu" and "Cobra Verde" by German film director Werner Herzog. 

In the light of a current rediscovery of the 1970s Ambient- Electronica and German Progressive Rock movement featuring bands like Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze or Harmonia, Popol Vuh is now the 2nd band, being remixed by today´s Electronica avant-garde, including treats by Stereolab, Mouse on Mars, Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb), Moritz von Oswald, A Critical Mass, Alex Barck (Jazzanova), Roland Appel, Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), and Haswell & Hecker. 

 Many thanks to the great interest and the great mixes by all of the above.

Band pinggiran yang dibentuk akhir 90an di Yogya ini seperti sedang menulis ulang pengertian dari idiom lama "hidup segan mati tak mau". Cerita mereka cukup panjang, terlalu panjang untuk diceritakan ulang; juga tak terlalu penting. Pendeknya; mereka sudah muncul sejak jaman Parkinsound masih rutin diadakan tahunan; sesekali main band di panggung lokal, sesekali main di luar kota, sesekali main musik untuk performance dan teater, sesekali main musik untuk film, tapi lebih sering duduk-duduk, bercanda, saling memusuhi lalu berdamai sebelum permusuhan berikutnya. Sebuah band, bagaimanapun, cenderung meniru sebuah keluarga. Mengutip Anna Karenina: Seluruh keluarga bahagia selalu sama; keluarga tidak-bahagia, selalu tidak berbahagia dengan caranya masing-masing. Keluarga tidak berbahagia yang sering disingkat namanya menjadi Melbi ini disfungsional, retak, tapi selalu punya alasan untuk berkumpul di hari raya. Hari raya yang sibuk mereka ciptakan sendiri.
