Nearly 20 years since its release, echospace [detroit] announce a fully remastered reissue of Deepchord’s legendary album ‘Vantage Isle‘, including Convextion’s first ever remix, available for the first time on 3×12″ clear vinyl.
Gaining near mythical status since its original release in 2007 with minimal packaging and restricted pressings, everything about ‘Vantage Isle‘ was geared toward the underground. Aimed for discerning dub techno listeners looking for the logical successors to the Basic Channel lineage, ‘Vantage Isle‘ consists of 13 takes of the title track, reworked by Rod Modell and Stephen Hitchell in various guises (cv313, Deepchord, Echospace, Spacecho), as well as a guest spot (and first ever remix) from Gerard Hanson (Convextion).
Steeped in mystery, echospace [detroit] has gained near legendary status as an outlet for their hard to find 12-inch dub techno releases with a sound that is heavily influenced by Berlin dub techno producers like Maurizio, Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, Rhythm & Sound, Blue Train and Pole. Whilst the German sound often has a futuristic metallic edge, echospace [detroit] are revered for more static and spacial atmospherics, deep bass thumps and of course deep chords in a timeless minimal manner.
DeepChord – Vantage Isle [Remastered] is scheduled for release end of February via echospace [detroit]. Order a vinyl copy from Inverted Audio Record Store.
