"Echospace [Detroit] is the label launched by
Rod Modell
(
Deepchord
) and
Soultek
's
Steven Hitchell
, two leading lights of the minimal dub techno scene. And as with anything Deepchord, the entire release has an air of mystery to it. Previously, as a near-mythical vinyl pressing with minimal packaging and restricted pressings, everything about
Vantage Isle
was geared toward the underground, or 'those who know.' However, there's nothing but love of craft driving these grooves, and now a lot more people will finally be able to hear this absolutely brilliant collection of spacial dub wonder on CD.
Vantage Isle Sessions
consists of a whopping 13 takes of the title track, reworked by Modell and Hitchell in various guises (
cv313
,
Deepchord
,
Echospace
,
Spacecho
), as well as a guest spot (and first ever remix) from
Gerard Hanson
(
Convextion
). Across their 13 versions, Modell and Hitchell manage to take the Deepchord template (analog synths, deep bass, gently throbbing beats, bursts of static and noise, and deep, deep chords) into a surprising variety of directions, akin to looking at the same giant glacier from a helicopter from every angle possible: some are beatless and undulating, some are pulsing and dynamic, some are looking up from under the ice and some are towering overhead. The aforementioned Convextion version is revelatory. It's built on cascading and echoing pieces of the original that are layered like shifting sands, for a distinctly dark and shimmering journey to the bottom of the frozen ocean and back. It's remarkable enough to get all these takes on one basic template to sound somewhat different, given that the source material is really just a skeletal array of sound sheets.
Vantage Isle Sessions
is for anyone looking for the logical successors to the
Basic Channel
throne, or just looking for something mellow for those steamy late summer nights. A stone-cold classic of the genre. Don't miss it." --Todd Hutlock, Stylus Magazine/Beatz by the Pound
