Album Description: Echospace is the collaborative venture of DeepChord's Rod Modell and Soultek's Steve Hitchell, and this is their first full-length release on the Modern Love label. Detroit's Rod Modell is one of the most noted producers operating in the dub-infused aftermath of the Basic Channel axis and all its myriad offshoots. His series of 12"s on his own eponymous imprint were released at the tail-end of the '90s and the beginning of the new century, and are considered by many as the natural progression from the effervescent, super-dense techno of Berlin's Chain Reaction. Following an extended hiatus, Rod Modell has re-wired his studio again and is once again receiving great acclaim for his low-end techno variations. Chicago's Steve Hitchell is a longtime DeepChord cohort and a noted producer in his own right -- most notably under the Soultek moniker. The Coldest Season was produced using nothing but vintage analog equipment: Roland Space Echo, Echoplex, Korg tape delay, vintage signal processors, noise generators, Sequential Circuits 8-bit samplers & numerous analog synthesizers. This project goes back to the heady days of Berlin-based proto dub/techno variations, recorded and produced in Detroit and Chicago. Three of the world's most important techno cities colliding to form a whole that perfectly bridges the gap between The Motor City's emotive arrangements, The Windy City's percussive robustness, and Berlin's life-altering Basic Channel continuum.

Rating: - ambient music can have a beat
one of my favorite cd's from 2007 - just washes over you in waves, taking you to the cold wintery landscape that it's going for.
Rating: - Deep emotive techno
This is techno music, but it is not really dance music in any sense. It is closer to Boards of Canada than Carl Cox. Even if you're familiar with the Modern Love label, this leans more towards ambient than ... Read More
