The three sides of Audrey and why she's all alone now/No one is looking at U Recorded in New York City between 2011 - 2015

We are very proud to announce that we have signed Arovane aka Uwe Zahn for Echocord. Uwe is in our world a legend within the electronic music scene.
He started to do releases on the old Berlin labels DIN and City-Centre-Offices. He is known for being one of the best producers ever within the IDM & Electronica scene.
Back in the 90's he listened to the music of Basic Channel, Maurizio and Fluxion a lot. This sound is timeless. In the summer of 2015 he started to record a couple of dub sounds and beats beside his collaboration work and the production of his new album.
He talked to Fluxion and told him about the growing project. He liked the tracks very much and connected it with Echocord and The Modul Ep was born.

First release by Rotterdams young entrepeneur Offset. 3 electro cuts and an dub techno track on the flip! 300 copies limited handstamped business.

A Side 'Glitch in the system'
'The arrows... everybody's got their own arrows...' Style Wars, New York city, deep dub and train writing.

B Side 'Security breach'
Rocking the train yard, keeping the spirit alive. Nothing more fun than a whole car in the sun, but beware of the dog! Future Bass sounds for reckless boys.

Hailing from a small village near a mountainous place where the borders of three nations encounter, the machine loving Jens Tozzberg now arrived at Fachwerk Records. With his background as club and festival promoter and wih travels through different musical experiences in the wide range from Drum & Bass to Dubtechno his newest project at Fachwerk contains an eclectic live act with influences from Germanys earliest rave culture, chain reacting echoes and heavy bass techno. Also after many years as world traveling DJ he keeps on searching for new ways of DJing, channeling his approach as a producer into his peaktime nightclub performances.

In this outstanding 12', STK drops two beautiful analog jam moments in stu-dio. The tracks are deep, raw and soul. The B side is an amazing re-interpretation of High Tech Soul by Detroit veteran hero, Gari Romalis.

This is the first release from the SM Records label which introduces you a great musical producer from Russia, Egor Zakharov creating his music under the name of Kip5. The Places release consists of 4 pieces of his own played in dub techno style. The release is opened by a mysterious piece charming in its serenity, "Here" which smoothly flows into a romantic, very gentle "There" track. At the other side of the release, you will continue your travelling to the "Somewhere" composition which has pronounced deep sounding. At last, your exciting travelling will finish to the atmospheric "Nowhere" track which can help you get rest, relax, and have a cup of coffee. While listening, you'll visit all those wonderful places and come back in great spirits.
Egor Zakharov tells about his release:
We often dream to be There, in a perfect place, where we, as we believe, must be, escape from ourselves and try to start a new life. As a result, we chance to be Somewhere, and this place doesn't meet our expectations. Then it occurs to us that there is Nowhere to find it, and the only thing we can live for is something we have Here and now.

Repress!
With SA012 Dadub carefully collate legacies of philosophical thought and transpose them into a brilliantly deep EP. The vinyl opens with 'Perseverance' a slick slice of bass that writhes and twists around a syncopated core. On A2 'Temptation of Maya' seizes at the act of perception and what is captured is perfect for the mellow confusion of a Sunday morning. On the flip side the search for transcendence goes further with 'Beyond the Veil' which crackles towards a sense of enlightenment. The EP closes with a golden moment of contentment, 'Moksha'. The track titles hint at the search for revelation, which is rendered in countless experimental layers and finely wrought details. SA012 is a peek into the conceptual framework that Dadub engage with to create their vision. And just as their central image, Maya, is intangible in the perceptible universe, the tracks seem to erupt from an equally mystical place: molten, dark and fathomlessly deep.

Tom Diccico makes his debut with DRED RECORDS after his acclaimed release on Delsin. Offering a feast of thunderous, dubbed out, machine funk cuts aimed at the higher planes of dance music. Including a raw ratteling remix by John Osborn of Tom's unreleased track 'Particle Fever'

Written & produced by Lars Stöwe. Mastered by Rashad Becker. Anno Stamm is the revered 4/4 branch name of Berlin's Lars Stoewe. As Anstam he has been at the forefront of dark beat science, touring extensively with the likes of Moderat and Thom Yorke's Atoms For Peace and has appeared at festivals ranging from Mutek and CTM to Sonar and Dimensions. 'Annothek' is his second EP for Macro. The three tracks build on the same set of sound sources and offer three different views at their glowing core. Elastic basslines pierce through a bed of sweet and warm chords, surrounded by sizzling noise percussion. Definitely on the more introspective side, the three cuts offer a special emotional depth while maintaining a bit more than just enough oomph to get the action going. Late night and early morning are the possible settings. It's a declaration of tender love that comes with a gentle push towards the closest darkroom.

French artist based in Paris, BLNDR is an emerging figure of the contemporary deep techno scene. When it comes to his productions, He has his own characteristic deep sound : deep rhythms and atmospheric elements have always played a major role in his music. The mood is often sinister, the pace set viscously slow. But whether it's deep and dubby, driving or gurgling with acid abstractions, the music's strong magnetism never ceases to impress.

Edge of the Universe is a conceptual project that drives the listener into unique cinematic atmospheres, developing a sonic equilibrium between sensitivity and harshness, quietness and noisiness. A subtle alchemy which evolves progressively with loud layered rhythms, crystalline synths, crackling noises and unexpected breaks.

"Driven by cyberdelic rhythms across interstellar sonic scapes. Minimalist transmutation textures and pulsing dark matterfrequencies evolvewith superconsciousness bass vibrations. Sparkling high tech pads advance with tense raw analog buzz. Starburst trembling beats with psychedelic solar oscillations, that shine and burn mind into alchemical time drift."

Melbourne-based Mosam Howieson writes and performs electronic music; hypnotizing crowds with his immersive, textural, experimental live techno.

An unreleased classic from the vaults emerges with beautiful reshapes by cv313 (recorded and reshaped from 2007-2016) This is where the sound of cv313 was realized, culled from cassette tapes recorded live (1995-2000) with nothing but analog/digital hardware, no computer in sight (excluding our Commodore 64 midi sequencer, which is still alive and well today). The radius project has been absent since the final release in 2001, the first 12" appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at Acme pressing in Canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here. This project was initially sent to Rod Modell & Mike Schommer shortly after they launched their brilliant deepchord label in 2001. They were incredibly kind in saying it was the best demo they had ever heard and passed it on to Octal records for release, sadly, that didn't materialize and since then these masters have been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now. We've spent months doing our best to restore the old tapes from our Tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. (that is of course, if you can get past the tape hiss) We've had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life, it's been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting these masters.

Written and produced by radius (1994-1999) restored from analog tape. reworked and reshaped by cv313 (2006-2016) mastered in echospace. We truly hope you enjoy reliving these magical times of music, very inspired by all that was happening in those years, there was just something in the air, an undeniable energy, long may it live on...
