Alex Niggemann had a vision to “launch a label that mirrors diversity” . Now, in 2018, his absorbing AEON imprint celebrates five years in the business. To mark this pivotal moment, he invites a succession of celebrated AEON family members to contribute to this impressive ten track release.

The album beings with TVA’s Marechiaro . An ambient and melodic wonder that floats you into a dream-like state. Kincaid featuring Sinal provide a darker beat on Gibberish – creeping synths are complemented by a psychedelic guitar sample, whilst Trails Of Snails from Uriah Klapter creates a twisted and drone-like atmosphere. Omri Smadar takes the reigns next with his tribal drum-infused Drum Odyssey which leads into the bouncing kick of Speaking Minds & Amarcord’s Dancing Under Bright Lights, taking you on a journey deep into space. Label head Alex Niggemann continues the cosmic journey with Orion – heady bass and glitchy beats are laced with a small, harmonic synth section. This flows perfectly into the synth-led, broken-beat vibe of Third Son’s Hypernormalisation. The next offering comes from LPZ who continues with the broken-beat theme adding a crescendo of clashing cymbals on In My Mind . Echonomist delivers the penultimate track in the shape of Loosing Less a driving number with a racing and pulsating heartbeat. Radeckt closes the album on a high with Raven – a carefully crafted, playful slice of techno.
