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.

By now, the story of how Jlin went from working in a steel factory in Gary, Indiana to being one of the most widely appreciated electronic musicians is well known. Black Origami was one of the most reviewed and lauded albums last year. Seriously prolific and seriously hard-working, she has toured constantly since its May 2017 release and despite being involved in a wide range of projects, still manages to find a balance and “do some personal healing and growing.” Here we are over a year later with Autobiography, the score for her collaboration with renowned British choreographer Wayne McGregor arranged by Unsound. This isn’t technically her third album (that’s due to arrive in 2019 or 2020), but the soundtrack stands up on its own with all the emotional peaks and troughs of a well-sequenced long player. For Jlin, making music for dance is the fulfillment of one of her lifelong dreams – and remarkably, Company Wayne McGregor’s performance was the first show she’d ever seen.
