The album's title track captures the essence of the whole label: serene harmony through indigenous instruments alongside the wild power of synthesizers. This is club music that resonates with honest integrity. On “Separate Ways”, the marimba-infused soundscapes take you through the charming mystic of Colombia’s misty mountains and lush valleys.

Going from the rich percussions of “Secreto” to the evocative and layered grooviness of “Sur” or “Pasajero 1973”, the album delivers a broad array of expressions, remaining true to its aim of redefining Colombian electronic music. Through Índigo and Victoria, Julio is seeking to expand and extend the sound path of a fascinating land, from which one of the most powerful music scenes of Latin American is beginning to emerge.
