Idealist returns with his second full-length Mind Field, featuring eight dub-leaning cuts from the Swiss producer. Based out of Zurich, producer and DJ Idealist has become a respected figure in raw, dubby house and techno over the past five years via his releases on Echocord and his Idealistmusic and Details Series labels, picking up support along the way from the likes of Mike Huckaby, Dana Ruh, Tini , and Mandar to name but a few. Here, though we see him returning to Copenhagen's Echocord with his second long player, following 2016's Firewood Street on his own label. Leading on the package is "Explorer", setting the tone with crunchy percussion, billowing stab sequences and airy dub swells before "Dimension" employs pulsing subs, soft organ-like chords and gritty analog drums as its foundation whilst fluttering stabs and sweeping atmospherics wander within. "Stage One" is up next, consisting of a weighty low-end drive, thunderous kick and snappy clap running in unison with swirling dub echoes and tension-building strings, a shining example of an effective dub-techno tool. "Golden Places" offers something different, embracing a walking bass groove, soft 303-style resonant flutters and cinematic strings. "M.I.T.H" opens up the flips side of the release, upping the energy levels with a dynamic, robust rhythm, gritty stabs and murky modulating effects throughout before "Singularity" edges things back into deeper territory with fluttering synth licks, vacillating pads and low-slung drums. "Smoke and Mirrors" embraces a loop-driven approach next with a focus on short, sharp synth cuts, bumpy drums and skippy hats before "Final Cut", as the name would suggest, wraps up the album with oscillating percussion, choppy bass hits and raw drums all unfolding with the subtle nuances prevalent throughout yet another smooth and understated addition to Idealist's catalogue.

Conforce returns under his Silent Harbour guise for the Noctiluca mini-LP, a six-track collection released via Copenhagen's Echocord. Dutch producer Boris Bunnik has been releasing material under various guises over the past two decades such as Conforce, Versalife, Hexagon, Vernon Felicity, and of course Silent Harbour which he revisits here following 2015's Hinterland on Deep Sound Channel and the self-tilted inauguration of the project in 2012 on Echocord (ECHO 012CD). The beatless drones of "Riparian" open the package, perfectly setting the tone with murky bell like chimes, rumbling subs, and splashes of white noise before title-track "Noctiluca" picks up the pace, tipping the focus over to bubbling dub echoes, glitched-out minute percussion, and a sturdy muted kick to keep things driving. "Dwelling" is up next, featuring expansive, washed-out synth textures, cavernous bass tones, and modulating percussion throughout. Leading on the B side of the release is "Peridinum", employing classic dub techno tropes with an amalgamation of choppy stab sequences dynamically evolving over off-beat hats and a thunderous kick. "Fusiformis" strips things rhythmically whilst keeping the bubbling delays and expansive reverbs at its core before closing track "Pelagia" brings bright, resonant synth lines, delayed percussive hits, and tension-building synth bass into the limelight.

Mikkel Metal returns to Copenhagen's Echocord with his new mini-LP Just Enough Light, comprising six originals from the Danish artist. Copenhagen-based producer and DJ Mikkel Metal has been a beacon of light in the Danish electronic music scene and further afield for nearly two decades now, with the dub techno imprint from his hometown, Echocord, being the predominant home for his output, whilst also releasing material on Cologne's Kompakt, Tartelet, Semantica, and Avant Roots, a telling sign of the quality embodied in his work. Here though you'll see Mikkel deliver a mini-album concept in the shape of Just Enough Light and opener "Awake" perfectly sets the tone with emotive, dynamically unfolding atmospherics, tension building bass drones and spiraling dub chords subtly easing us into the project. "Bregnan" then stirs in some classic dub techno tropes with billowing stab sequences, lumpy subs and off-beat hi hats carrying the hypnotic groove for six-and-a-half minutes. "Jech" then strips things back to an almost beatless amalgamation of murky chords and modulating synth whirrs. Opening the flip side of the release is "Include" which embraces a brighter feel via ethereal pad swells, jazz-tinged synth melodies, and bumpy 909 rhythms before "Konkin" edges back into the eerie, brooding aesthetic with bubbling echoes, broken drums, and menacing bass swells at its core. "Restore" then closes the package on a stripped-back vibe, laying focus on an ever- evolving singular dub chord to ebb-and-flow around thunderous subs, kicks, and bright hats.

Sven Weisemann releases Bilateral Relations EP, comprising four originals from the German producer. "Lunation" opens and sees Weisemann fuse emotive string melodies and cavernous vocal echoes with off-kilter rhythms and rounded sub hits. "Bilateral Relations" embraces a more direct four-four approach via sparse percussion and tumbling toms alongside choppy bass stabs and echoing dub chords. "Monistic" is an airy ethereal number employing billowing pads, bright synth chimes, and a dropped-tempo dubbed-out feel. "Decimation (Valvle tR9 Mix)" closes things on a darker tip with looming stab swells, heavily swung drums, and sporadic growling bass drones.

Ofog EP comprises three original productions from Sweden's Andreas Tilliander. Ofog EP kicks off with an upfront and club leaning track entitled "Störet", which is driven by deep kicks and crisp hats that sit tightly at each end of the mix, leaving room for twisted chords and delayed synth swells. Next up is the fine dub-tinged and spacious aesthetic of "Oliveros", where ethereal textures glide freely alongside the live-sounding tape delayed drums, accompanied by a deep, weaving sub. Closing is "Risset", in which a half-time bassline chugs alongside vibrantly saturated percussion escorted by dubby chords and glitchy atmospherics.

Tomas Rubeck is based in the Midlands (UK) where post-industrial decay fringes with an idyllic rural backdrop, it may not be too much of a surprise as to where aspiring artist Rubeck takes his lead on inspiration for his music. With an ear for detailed production and a self-confessed perfectionist when it comes to sound design and artistic flare, it's clear as to why his records seem refreshingly different. The Blueprint EP, his first EP on Echocord contains three heavy, powerful and dubby tracks, all for the dancefloor.

Double LP version. Mikkel Metal was the first artist on Echocord and the main reason for the label's inception. After many releases, he returns to Echocord in 2016 with his first full-length album since 2008's Peaks and Troughs (ECHO 004CD). Bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with his earlier output. Its ten tracks evolve around a melancholic melodic framework, and while there is clearly a nod to Detroit and another to dub-techno, the overall impression is consistently and unmistakably of Mikkel Metal himself. A hypnotic, very enjoyable, and thorough return from the Danish artist.

Double LP version. Echocord presents the third album by Fluxion. In the beginning of 2013, K. Soublis (aka Fluxion) met Jamaican vocalist Teddy Selassie in NY. After a brief discussion, they started exchanging music and lyrics and by the end of 2013, the Broadwalk Tales album came to life -- an album of musical pieces that visit the roots of reggae and dub music with the distinct Fluxion production aesthetic, combining them with more ambient atmospheric tracks as well as techno and more experimental productions. In the words of the artist: "I wanted to make something more than the usual dub techno tracks with a hint of manipulated voices every now and then. Teddy Selassie came in and gave a breath to the whole material, made it more alive, broadening the journey."
