The table was lined with all manner of sweet treats and delicious desserts; it was a banquet fit for a king and queen. Just looking at the infinite options available was enough to make you feel full; cream cakes were perched alongside iced biscuits, macaroons and mountains of jelly, stretching as far as the eye could see. This was something as a child they could only dream of - could death by sugar be a thing?

For their first release of 2022, and their sixth to date, Taiwan's JIN 禁 Records call on the talents of South Korean artist Yetsuby, who makes up one half of ambient duo Salamanda. Her ability to create soundscapes driven by mood and emotion is still present on this EP, but this time she explores the realms of bass, DnB and IDM across four fresh cuts. On the flip, master of the remix New Zealand's Eden Burns puts his signature progressive trance spin on 'Jelly', twisting it into a psychedelic slow burner to keep those energy levels up.

Over the course of the past five years, Amsterdam based label Indigo Aera has evolved in to one of the most trustworthy and respected contemporary Detroit techno labels around.

In October 2016, @IndigoAera embarks on their biggest release to date: a limited edition 5 LP box-set. The Lost Archives Special consists of unreleased tracks from absolute legends, to music that has never been released in a physical form before, to fresh compositions of techno’s most talented contemporary artists. This is the premiere of 500 Models (demo mix) by Joris Voorn.


@Joris-Voorn on "500 models"
"I made this track on an MPC and Juno 106 in 2001. It was recorded in one live take in my student room in Rotterdam. It never got released as I wasn’t sure about the track, but it was picked up by Indigo Aera years later when I put an mp3 on my website.’’

In the distant galaxy far away there gathered a colony, a band of brothers who were at one with the stars and the far reaches of the universe. On planet play there was no concept of time or limitations. They were a free wheeling gang of vagabonds who had touched down on an entity which would become theirs alone. The sea roared a fierce shade of blue and green as the lightening from the stuttering clouds up above circled in chaos. Go find them, up in the sky. 

William The Squid appears on a new EP as part of the 'Universal Broadcast' series on Craigie Knowes records. The label has assembled a special crew of producers to appear on the four track EP which also includes a final outing for the Deep Space Orchestra moniker.
