  • Amsterdam label Indigo Aera has revealed plans for a five-vinyl compilation box set, Lost Archives Special, to celebrate five years of operation. Indigo Aera is the brainchild of Jasper Wolff and Maarten Mittendorff, former residents at the now-shuttered nightclub Trouw who these days host a night at De School. Launched in 2011, the label champions soulful, Detroit-leaning techno by putting out new material as well as older, previously unreleased productions under the Lost Archives banner. Lost Archives Special, scheduled to land next month, is Indigo Aera's most ambitious project. Its five individually titled records bring together 18 tracks in all—some are unreleased, some are new and others are being put on a physical format for the first time. Skudge, Makam, Don Williams, Joris Voorn, Antigone and Sterac are some of the names involved. Wolff and Mittendorff have each contributed one of their own tracks. Along with the limited-edition box set (and digital formats), the label plans to issue each 12-inch as separate EPs later on. San Diego-based producer Louis Haiman also has a track coming on Lost Archives Special. Before that one arrives, he'll release an EP called The Cosmic Memory on Indigo Aera that features a Marcel Dettmann remix. Haiman previously connected with the label in 2012 to put out his double-vinyl album Soul Purpose. Listen to samples from the compilation.
