Artist:	QUANTEC
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:	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.

Title:	Distant Space Pt 2
Label:	MEANWHILE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MEAN 012EP

This is Quantec's second release in his three part series for the Meanwhile imprint. With killer releases on Styrax Leaves, Echochord, and Millions of Moments, plus a choice selection of remixes, the first volume was an instantaneous sell-out. With all the attention on the Basic Channel continuum right now, and general interest in dub techno at pretty much its pinnacle, the world is ready for these tunes. Deviant bass maneuvers, endless echo space, delays forever.

Title:	Distant Space Pt. 3
Label:	MEANWHILE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MEAN 014EP

This is Quantec's third release in his three-part series for the Meanwhile imprint. Continuing on from its predecessors, "Electromagnetic Pulse" is a 4/4 killer with bass that sounds as though it's been recorded through Burial's private sound-proofed wall -- all haze and blurriness, synced up to a crisp hi-hat. "Specters" features grainy analog synth-stabs over another murky groove. Nine and-a-half minutes of sonic bliss, sure to rattle around in your brain cage for what seems like an eternity.

Title:	Force Vive EP
Label:	PHONOBOX (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	PHONOBOX 008EP

Quantec's Sven Schienhammer's first release for Phonobox Records brings four tracks of deeper dub house and techno. "Circles (Re-Edit)" contains the classic Quantec elements, foggy atmosphere and slow-mo techno, reminiscent of the most smacked-out Echospace/Deepchord releases. "Ramified" revolves around Maurizio-dipped bass lines with spiraling dub chords. "Force Vive" and "Swayings" are the closest you'll come to a house rhythm. On white vinyl.
