Echer has been around for quite a while, producing under Duffstep & Duffdisco to great acclaim he has decided to step out of the limelight and into the shadows. More than a metaphorical manoeuvre, he has already made a name for himself as a manipulator of a cheeky sample and a producer not afraid to add some bombast to the often-linear world of dance music. Electric Minds then is proud to present Echer’s debut release The Basement EP. It’s a triumvirate of house music, underpinned by an analogue, retro-tinged passion-infused understanding of a dance floor but one constructed starkly amid the long shadows of a modern day sunrise. All twisted baselines and pysch-grooves, trippy melodies and loaded with sinister synths. Whilst you could call it magic, it’s effectiveness is certainly no illusion.
