Indigo Aera, remember that name. Detroit techno from Amsterdam, Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorf have been releasing some quality records since the label’s start-up back in 2010. We welcome the talented duo to a new episode of DJB Transmission, hosted by Eelco Couvreur.

Amsterdam's brand-new Indigo Aera delivers a surprising gem with its first release: 'First Expression' starts out the EP with a beatless piano hymn in the vein of 'Strings Of Life', 'The Present' follows up with a percussive piano groove, and 'Time Is Space' is a great Detroit techno anthem in Steve Rachmad style. Excellent debut.
Born in Hengelo, a small town in the eastern part of Holland, Maarten Mittendorff's interest in DJ-ing started at an age of 15. Dwelling first thru pop music, and electronic music in general, he eventually found techno in the late 90s.
When he moved to Amsterdam, his love for detroit techno started to develop, influenced by the sounds of Amsterdam based labels like Delsin and Rushhour. Apart from the love for Dj-ing he also started producing in 2008. At the moment he's running his own label together with Jasper Wolff called "Indigo aera".
