Artist:	MIKKEL METAL
Title:	Brone and Wait
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 002CD

This is Copenhagen-based producer Mikkel Meldgaard's (aka Mikkel Metal) third full-length release, and second for Echochord. Mikkel started his music career more than 10 years ago as a guitarist in various noise-rock bands. In the mid-'90s his focus changed to electronic music, inspiration coming primarily from breakbeat music, particularly drum'n'bass. It's during this period that gave Mikkel his nickname "Metal," due to his fondness for hard, metallic drum'n'bass cuts. Around 1999, Mikkel changed focus towards genres like click'n'cuts, IDM, techno and dub, and started releasing under the Mikkel Metal moniker. He has primarily released on Danish label Echochord and German label Kompakt: the former with a dubby, grainy sound, the latter focusing on a more melodic and 4/4-based sound. These ten brand new tracks range from 4-to-the-floor deep minimal tracks to dubby abstract ambient. Once again, Mikkel excels at bringing a modern twist to electronic dub and techno that ranks him in the same league of such luminaries as Deadbeat, Vladislav Delay, Pole and Maurizio.

Title:	Unusual Signals
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 003CD

The Echocord label is proud to announce the debut full-length by Germany's Quantec aka Sven Schienhammer. When he was 15, he bought his first pair of synthesizers (a Roland MC 505 and an MC 303) and some effects modules. At first (1995-1998), he started off making ambient and pieces in the spirit of early dub techno, in the footsteps of artists like Porter Ricks and labels like Mille Plateaux, as well as more experimental realms. As his knowledge expanded, so, too, did his collection of equipment, and he was able to finally bring forth the music he always wanted to make. His greatest love is ambient, dub techno, deep house and experimental, as well as original dub and roots reggae. Music is all about emotion and it is from these genres that, for him, emotion flows. This is a must-have album for the fans of dub-techno and ambient.

Title:	Ian EP
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 003EP

"Behind the name Lowfour is Sweden's Andreas Tilliander. In the past he's released several albums as Andreas Tilliander, Mokira, Rechord and Komp. He produces everything from minimal and introvert soundscapes, ambient and music that is often compared to R&B and Hiphop. The Force Inc sister-label Force Lab released a 12" by Lowfour in the summer of 2001. Since then Andreas has been focusing on other aliases and materials but now it's time for a new Lowfour release. The material was mostly recorded in 2001 but re-recorded and remixed in 2002 to fit the Echocord style. This is dark and ambient techno with lots of elements from dub music."

Title:	Peaks And Troughs
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 004CD

This is Copenhagen-based producer Mikkel Meldgaard's (aka Mikkel Metal) fourth full-length release, and third for the Echochord label. Peaks And Troughs contains 11 brand new tracks by Mikkel, and four of them contain vocals by Paul St. Hilaire. On this album, Mikkel works with a vocalist for the first time, and it has always been his wish to do something with Paul St. Hilaire. Paul St. Hilaire, formerly known as Tikiman from The Caribbean Island, now lives in Berlin and is known from his own label False Tuned, and many, many productions with labels such as Rhythm & Sound, Burial Mix and Mainstreet. On Peaks And Troughs, Mikkel presents his own unique style of dub -- dark, seductive, and sometimes gritty, with the same measured and atmospheric attention to beats consistent with his previous releases. The stellar vocals by Paul St. Hilaire seem more than a natural fit and a higher-level commitment to deep dubness for which Mikkel Metal is most worthy.

Title:	Light In The Dark
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 005CD

This is the debut full-length release by Luke Hess from Detroit. After his successful 12" on Echocord Colour with Marko Fürstenberg, he is now back with a full-length album on Echocord. Luke Hess creates deep Detroit techno with a focus on soul and experimentation over prevalence and trends. Born in 1980 in metro-Detroit and subject to the city's mid-'90s warehouse parties, Luke has harnessed a deep appreciation for the underground movement and electronic dance music. His faith-based music production has given him the desire to reach out to others, in the hope that electronic music can be a bridge for restoration and not an avenue for destruction. After acclaimed releases on FXHE, and other successful releases on Beretta Grey, Echocord Colour, and Kontra-Musik, Luke's sound is beginning to take root. Light In The Dark further explores deep Detroit dance music through field recordings, live percussion sessions, analog experimentation, and dark, cavernous melodies.

Title:	Cauldron Subsidence
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 006CD

This is the second album by the much-hyped German dub youngster Sven Schienhammer aka Quantec on Echocord. After releasing several 12"s on labels like Styrax Leaves, Meanwhile, Snapshot and Echocord, Sven is back with another full-length album. This album contains older tracks from the year 2001 and some of his newer works from 2009. On this album, you will hear many of Sven's personal favorites. Cauldron Subsidence is not entirely the typical Quantec sound -- and it's absolutely different than his last album on Echocord. This is brooding dub-techno, laced with the remnants of dubstep. "Absolute Level" combines a rolling crash cymbal with a trippy Detroit-ish melody (a la Kenny Larkin). The classic strings throughout "Satisfied" ripple with a rolling broken beat and strains of vocals throughout, shedding new light on the classic Chain Reaction sound of yesterday. Slo-mo dubstep crooner "Transmitters" glides and floats through the broken beat and smoky haze of dub infiltration. A true accomplishment from one of today's most accomplished electronic dub producers out there.

Artist:	MODELL, ROD
Title:	Kettle Point EP
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 006EP

2004 release, repressed! "Rod Modell began making electronic music in the early 80's, after being influenced by the 'industrial' music scene. 'Bands' such as SPK, Human Head Transplant, Psychic TV, and Hafler Trio were Rod's initial influences, but he soon grew tired of the harshness of this genera, and pursued softer noises. Rod composed many ambient projects during this 'soft noise' period. In the late 90's, Rod co-founded Deepchord Records in Detroit as an outlet for his 'dirty' minimal tracks, and continues to produce music for this label."

Artist:	FLUXION
Title:	Perfused
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 007CD

Echocord proudly releases the fifth full length album by Greece's Fluxion. There's been more than a decade of music since the first 1998 Chain Reaction release by the artist, along with countless artists such as Maurizio and Basic Channel setting the groundwork for what is currently called "dub techno" -- music that crawls under your skin, with no firecrackers or stunts. Fluxion has been as true to his principles as other artists from that era. On Perfused, as the title implies, the sounds are liquid. Bending, turning, blending, streaming, forming, and at the end, grooving in a unique way. Moving into the future with steady dub beats. Proposing to the listener not only to listen to new ways of producing music and sound, but also to open up their ways of listening. The opening "Horizons" creates a warm, slow dub feeling and as it moves through time and space, it creates musical phrases that unveil a breadth of fresh sounds. "Waves" is a pulsating, dub, atmospheric dance track. "Tantalizer" is a dried-out track -- mechanical, organic, while "Inflection" is a cyclic, minimal dub track. "Wabbler" is a live track recorded in one take -- a journey back to the influences of dub. "Elation" is a strong dance track full of energy that slowly builds up in the Fluxion way, always revealing some new stream of sound that comes to the surface. "Fluctuations" is a slow-building, atmospheric minimal track, while on "Inductance," atmospheric sound patterns slowly combine, creating an emotional, futuristic track. Finally, "Perfuse" is a pulsating, slow dub track. The sound patterns emerge steadily, to form one stream. One organic movement, where every part complements the other.

Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	ECHO 008CD

Glasgow-based Arne Weinberg aka Onmutu Mechanicks presents his first album on Echocord. Being known for producing deep melodic techno, Arne's alias Onmutu Mechanicks serves as a project for all things abstract and dub-influenced. Nocturne combines dub techno and the deep melodic techno that Arne is known for. The result is a slightly different take on the genre, ranging from ambient-esque soundscapes to dark, reverberated and delayed sonic dancefloor affairs and rhythmical experiments in dub. Nocturne is a statement of pure deepness.

2004 release, repressed. "This is the 2nd EP by Rod Modell on the Danish label Echocord. In the year 2000, Rod joined forces with Mike Schommer and started the minimal techno label Deepchord. Quickly becoming a cult favorite, the Deepchord vinyl-only releases sold out worldwide necessitating the need to release a CD compilation in 2001. Reminiscent of Basic Channel, and hailing from Detroit, this is techno at its best. Rod also does the audio mastering for Richie Hawtins m-nus label. This EP contains 4 new tracks by Rod Modell, definitely available for the dancefloor, all with a 4 to the floor beat, and a lot of dubby influences."

Title:	Traces
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 011CD

Traces is Fluxion's second album on Echocord. This work is about his travels in music -- the sounds, influences and aesthetics of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the musical influences deriving from them. Through his prism, those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions, etc., left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. Fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling on each track. "No Man Is An Island" is an unreleased Dennis Brown vocal version -- an influential song with a clear message. "Desert Nights" evokes desert rock meeting dub in a road movie. "Stations" tells of that special place between destinations -- always a feeling of something promising. "Butiama" is an actual place, where variations and consistency in rhythm is within people's DNA. "Migration" is a new, promising start. These 11 tracks have been carefully selected, opening the dub spectrum as well as reaching other uncharted territories. After a decade in the field of dub, techno and ambient, Fluxion expands his horizons with music that will not fall under one specific territory.

These two tracks shed light on where the project is heading. Something old, something new. Includes a collaborative remix from Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer.

Artist:	XDB
Title:	Apari EP
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 052EP

DJ/producer XDB aka Kosta Athanassiadis has been Djing since the early '90s but it's in the last few years that his abilities as a producer have come to fore both through his recordings for labels such as Detroit's Sistrum and François K's Wave Music, remixes for Norm Talley, Conforce and Patrice Scott, to name a few, along with the releases on his own Metrolux label which he founded in 2006. Two powerful, dubby tracks and a fantastic remix by Sven Weisemann.

Artist:	RESOE
Title:	The Black Void Of Space EP 00/2
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 053EP

This is the second 12" from Resoe's debut album The Black Void Of Space (ECHO 009CD). "Nachhall" is an atmospheric track, but still aimed for the floor. The metallic chords and lush strings build up slowly through the track, which ends as a pure techno monster like the old school sound of Detroit. "Dubcuttin'" is Resoe's dubstep track, with a more techno kind of edge. Don Williams' remix is a Detroit-inspired track, with hard, stabby chords and filtered efx.

Artist:	FLUXION
Title:	Traces EP 1/3
Label:	ECHOCORD (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ECHO 054EP

Echocord proudly releases the first EP from the new Fluxion album. This work is about his travels in music -- the sounds, influences and aesthetics, alongside the musical influences deriving from them. "No Man Is An Island" is an unreleased Dennis Brown vocal version and "Desert Nights" sounds like desert rock meeting dub on a road movie. "Butiama" is an actual place, where variations and consistency in rhythm is within people's DNA. This EP also includes a remix by Thomas Fehlmann.
