ÆX

Amsterdam based label Indigo aera is branching out with a new sub-label after establishing itself over the last six years. The label will now launch a new chapter called ÆX. It will put out hand stamped, various artist EPs from a mixture of befriended artists who are considered all inner family members of the label. The main focus for ÆX is to create a place for exploration and experimentation in the genre of analogue classic sounding techno music. Every release is done by various artists and pressed in one limited run of 200 copies.

Like the main label, ÆX is run by Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff who will also release their own tracks on it. But the main focus is creating a place where friends and more established names share their ideas about experimentation and techno music. Receiving loads of music from friends and their surroundings made them want to create a new platform. The first five EPs are all done and will be released late 2017, with an analogue and Detroit sounds often underlying them all.

First EP includes tracks from Working Titles and Yield Records labelboss KAAP, label owners Jasper & Maarten themselves, Amsterdam local and Rush Hour face Ocke W and Taupe. The second disc welcomes close friend Daniel Jacques to the label, known for his earlier releases on DVS1 Mistress label. And Amsterdam young locals Denote, D&S and Farah with their first releases.
