ashtar lavanda: unsolved mysteries

In 2014, Ultramajic's Jimmy Edgar received information about an East Detroit storage unit auction containing vintage recording equipment and historical items of Detroit Techno descent. Ultramajic came into the possession of over 100 DAT and 1/4" reel tapes. One box contained meticulously dated tapes from 1995-1998 with sharpie inscription "ASHTAR LAVANDA". Lo and behold a hidden treasure of Detroit electro. After nearly two years, the label managed to connect with Ashtar Lavanda. With this release and upcoming archives of his music, he will be known as one of the true pioneers in late '90s Detroit electro.
