Jlin is a talented juke producer hailing from Gary, Indiana. With her unique style and innovative approach to music production, she has gained recognition in the electronic music scene. Inspired by artists such as DJ Earl, Traxman, and DJ Taye, Jlin brings a fresh perspective to the genre.

Her tracks are characterized by intricate rhythms, powerful basslines, and captivating melodies that keep listeners hooked from start to finish. Drawing influence from the footwork sound of Chicago and blending it with her own experimental touch, Jlin's music pushes boundaries and challenges traditional conventions.

With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like "Black Origami" and "Dark Energy," Jlin has solidified herself as one of the leading figures in contemporary electronic music. Her collaborations with artists like RP Boo, DJ Rashad, and Equiknoxx have further showcased her versatility as a producer.

Planet Mu is an independent music label that was founded in 1995 by Mike Paradinas. Originally starting as an imprint on Virgin, the label was created to release music from artists like µ-Ziq and others who shared a similar style. However, due to Virgin's lack of success in marketing this type of music, Mike Paradinas decided to establish Planet Mu as an independent label in 1998. It is at this point that the catalog numbers for releases under the name *ZIQ* began.

Planet Mu release Jlin's long awaited second album Black Origami. A percussion-led tour de force, it's a creation that seals her reputation as a unique producer with an exceptional ability to make riveting rhythmic music. Spirituality and movement are both at the core of Black Origami, inspired largely by her ongoing collaborations with Indian dancer / movement artist Avril Stormy Unger whom she met and collaborated with at her debut performance for the Unsound festival. Movement played a great role in Black Origami. The track Carbon 7 is very inspired by the way Avril moves and dances. Similar time shifting / folding / disrupting effects can be heard throughout the record – especially on Holy Child an unlikely collaboration with minimalist legend William Basinski. She also collaborates again with Holly Herndon on 1%, while Halcyon Veil producer Fawkes' voice is on Calcination and Cape Town rapper Dope Saint Jude provides vocals for Never Created, Never Destroyed.
