ECHOCOL 032EP
|
Adventures in Deep Space reflects on humanity's existence a planet somewhere in the universe, stranded and searching for meaning and purpose. "Pillars of Creation" represents the beauty of the stars on a clear night and the inspiring feeling that staring at the galaxy gives. "Gravitational Effects" is about the parallel between the physical properties of science and creation. The music speaks to the deep connection that is possible between humans. "Crate Digging on Planet Omnom" is about a hike in the alien mountains, a dip in some hot springs, and some space-dancing around a neon green campfire.

ECHOCOL 024EP
|
Echocord Colour welcomes back Detroit's Luke Hess. The ancient Greek word for passion is paskho, which means "to suffer." This EP was created with a passion for not only the analog machines that created it, but also for the people on the dancefloor. Out of an artist's toil and suffering, it is possible to create special moments in other people's lives. The "Paskho" track comes in two versions and both are powerful enough for the dancefloor peak-time. Light blue vinyl.

ECHO 037LP
|
Previously released on CD by Echocord, now available in a 2x12" version. This is the debut full-length release by Luke Hess, who creates deep Detroit techno with a focus on soul and experimentation over prevalence and trends. Born in 1980 in metro-Detroit and subject to the city's mid-'90s warehouse parties, Luke has harnessed a deep appreciation for the underground movement and electronic dance music. His faith-based music production has given him the desire to reach out to others, in the hope that electronic music can be a bridge for restoration and not an avenue for destruction. After acclaimed releases on FXHE, and other successful releases on Beretta Grey, Echocord Colour, and Kontra-Musik, Light In The Dark further explores deep Detroit dance music through field recordings, live percussion sessions, analog experimentation, and dark, cavernous melodies.
