IJO - Akai Tracks Vol. 2 (2022)

IJO comes back with its 20th full studio album, a continuation of his 2018 release “Akai Tracks”. As the title suggests, the album was made entirely on a hardware-based setup, consisting of an Akai S1000, a soundcraft mixing desk, korg micro and an effect unit. It took 2 years to make the album. This is a reflection of 90s golden era of jungle and drum’n’bass. Crafted in an original style, the album represents different sides of IJOs production, having an eclectic view on the scene, with a dance bangers like the 90s Vibes and The Jungle Mask, to some more experimental tracks like Later Nights and Beams, as well as traditional IJOs take on jazz melodies on The Jazz Note.
