Jubilee Compilation

BY Andrea AyottePublished Apr 12, 2011

Danish dub techno label Echocord celebrates its nine-year anniversary by featuring its top artists. Over the years, Echocord has delivered 49 twelve-inch releases, along with nine astonishing full-length albums. Jubilee Compilation includes ten exclusive tracks by Quantec, Deadbeat, Stephen Hitchell, Luke Hess and many more. Greece-based artist Fluxion opens the album with some light, airy atmospherics and deep, dub-y grooves for a subtle, drifting mood. Arne Weinberg (under his Onmutu Mechanicks moniker) moves from techno to limitless explorations of dub. His track, "Calyx," is a seductively deep, pulsing number combined with sweeping floods of reverb and spatial textures that disappear into the distance. Baum Records label owner Resoe (aka Dennis Bøg) delivers a deep, building, reverberating number with warm, hypnotic throbs. Mikkel Metal closes the compilation with "Wahomi," a pop-y, dub-infused house number with grooving rifts building throughout. Echochord remains at the top of its game with Jubilee Compilation. If you're looking for the best in dub techno, this album has it.
