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.

Jlin's new EP Embryo marks a key point in the multi-platform artistic growth of the Indiana-based producer. It features a bold and fiery sound palette recalling the futurism of nineties Detroit techno and British IDM without succumbing to their clichés.

With faint echoes of classic Model 500, it sounds like music for automated cars, robot cop junctions and virtual freeways in the air. A fifth wave techno? "Connect The Dots" is one of the standouts from her recent lives sets, with the kind of rhythmic complexity only Jlin can bring, underpinned by a glitch reborn and transmuted into something utterly of the here and now. Jlin comments "I wrote all these pieces in between commissions and trying to stay afloat mentally." She singles out final track "Rabbit Hole" as a highlight "It made me feel nostalgia yet connected me to my own evolution." Jlin is currently working on a new full length album for Planet Mu.
