Futuristic Brussels based four-piece ECHT! are set to release their sophomore album 'Sink-Along' on the 5th May via the groove-obsessed Sdban Ultra label. Receiving critical acclaim from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC R adio 6 Music) and Mixmag for their debut release 'INWANE' (2021), ECHT! takes th e best of Jonwayne, DJ Rashad, J Dilla, Ivy Lab, Tsuruda and Aphex Twin, result ing in an unrivalled sound.
In a society geared almost exclusively to ward the technological, ECHT! forges a different path, one that instead replaces the mechanical with the human. At the heart of their creative process made up o f actual skin and bone, the influences of trap, bass music, jazz and hip-hop bur st forth through their expert playing of instruments.
'Sink-Along' sh owcases a rawer and more straight-forward approach than their debut. Whether on the bass-heavy opener 'Glide' or the beat-to-beat sounds of 'Cheesecake' and 'Br yan Brains', ECHT! confirms its taste for deep, dark beats pushed to the extreme . No one can remain indifferent. A more luminous universe is brought to the fore on the introspective 'Vault-A' and 'Dawn In Duden' but at the core of 'Sink-Alo ng', the common denominator is a warm and organic groove, evident on the inventi ve 'Rouf-rouf' and 'Mtwk part2'. "For this album we wanted to make strong and op posite emotions coexist: a dark and intense apocalyptic tendency, and a life and dance impulse that runs through everything. A paradox that is reflected in the wordplay of the title 'Sink-Along'."
Releasing their debut EP 'DOUF' in 2019, the following year, ECHT! finished third in Red Bull Elektropedia's 'Fr esh on The Scene' category and the EP was nominated for 'Best EP'. ECHT! release d three sublime live studio sessions titled the BREWmixes in 2021, which receive d support from tastemakers including LEFTO, Worldwide FM and Belgian national ra dio 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 sou nd transmission is 'real', performed with conventional musical instruments as op posed to computer music which the production might suggest. It also relates to t he fact that none of the members of the band are originally from Brussels - bass ist Federico Pecoraro is from Italy, keyboardist Dorian Dumont is from France an d drummer Martin Méreau and guitarist Florent Jeunieaux are both from the Mons r egion on Belgium.
