Electric Minds then is proud to present Echer’s debut release The Basement EP. It’s a triumvirate of house music, underpinned by an analogue, retro-tinged passion-infused understanding of a dance floor but one constructed starkly amid the long shadows of a modern day sunrise. All twisted baselines and pysch-grooves, trippy melodies and loaded with sinister synths. Whilst you could call it magic, it’s effectiveness is certainly no illusion.

If Goblin had been from Chicago and not Italy they may have made ‘Basement 3b’. A nagging, filtered vocal excerpt lilts between a baseline that sounds like it is straight from an Italian horror movie, all covered in cobwebs and dust, it’s made for basements though more those used for raving than killing. In ‘Fat Kid’ voices echo and fall in and out of focus whilst the baseline that dominates the track arcs and fades giving way to a chant that rides the slow-mo rhythm of the track. Lastly ‘Gurlz’ takes it cues from the days of rave and hardcore, the bpm or pulse rate is increased whilst pianos are stabbed causing arms to be raised in either innocence or glory.
