INFO
Futurist ic Brussels based four-piece ECHT! are set to release their sophomore album 'Sin k-Along' on the 5th May via the groove-obsessed Sdban Ultra label. Receiving cri tical acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 6 Music) and Mixmag f or their debut release 'INWANE' (2021), ECHT! takes the best of Jonwayne, DJ Ra shad, J Dilla, Ivy Lab, Tsuruda and Aphex Twin, resulting in an unrivalled sound .
In a society geared almost exclusively toward the technological, EC HT! forges a different path, one that instead replaces the mechanical with the h uman. At the heart of their creative process made up of actual skin and bone, th e influences of trap, bass music, jazz and hip-hop burst forth through their exp ert playing of instruments.
'Sink-Along' showcases a rawer and more s traight-forward approach than their debut. Whether on the bass-heavy opener 'Gli de' or the beat-to-beat sounds of 'Cheesecake' and 'Bryan Brains', ECHT! confirm s its taste for deep, dark beats pushed to the extreme. No one can remain indiff erent. A more luminous universe is brought to the fore on the introspective 'Vau lt-A' and 'Dawn In Duden' but at the core of 'Sink-Along', the common denominato r is a warm and organic groove, evident on the inventive 'Rouf-rouf' and 'Mtwk p art2'. "For this album we wanted to make strong and opposite emotions coexist: a dark and intense apocalyptic tendency, and a life and dance impulse that runs t hrough everything. A paradox that is reflected in the wordplay of the title 'Sin k-Along'."
Releasing their debut EP 'DOUF' in 2019, the following yea r, ECHT! finished third in Red Bull Elektropedia's 'Fresh on The Scene' category and the EP was nominated for 'Best EP'. ECHT! released three sublime live studi o sessions titled the BREWmixes in 2021, which received support from tastemakers including LEFTO, Worldwide FM and Belgian national radio station Studio Brussel (StuBru). Their debut album 'INWANE' soon followed.
Echt means 'vrai de vrai' - 'true' or 'real' in brusseleir (Brabantian dialect of Brussels). The name is a direct reference to the fact that their sound transmission is 'real', performed with conventional musical instruments as opposed to computer music wh ich the production might suggest. It also relates to the fact that none of the m embers of the band are originally from Brussels - bassist Federico Pecoraro is f rom Italy, keyboardist Dorian Dumont is from France and drummer Martin Méreau an d guitarist Florent Jeunieaux are both from the Mons region on Belgium.
