Echo Chamber is proud to announce our third album project, and the
debut long player from cult New Zealand producer SHADOW CLUB. With
over a decade of releases under his belt as RQ it's more than fair to
say he has pushed back the boundaries of the possible in Drum & Bass
music in terms of the musical and emotional depth of his productions,
while also quietly sitting at the vanguard defining the visual
aesthetic of Drum & Bass culture through his acclaimed sleeve designs
and graphics work.
Drawing on influences as disparate as Tangerine Dream and William
Gibson, the album takes golden era deep atmospheric Jungle as a
starting point and beams it off into an optimistic future; skittering
breakbeats, shimmering pads, and an artfully controlled and constant
sense of progressive forward momentum. We feel it's the kind of energy
the world badly needs. The whole thing sounds incredible as a body of
work, cohesive, authentic, fresh. This isn't revivalism for the sake
of it either there's a real sense of modernity and edge even in the
deepest passages of some of these tunes.
Having only in recent years settled on "Shadow Club" as an outlet for
productions that didn't quite fit inside the scope of his RQ moniker,
the precise nature of what this album would develop into still came
as somewhat of a welcome surprise even to him. Simply stated: "I just
wanted to make tunes that sounded like that". We're absolutely
delighted he did, and we're immensely proud to be releasing this
towering musical achievement. Remixes from Kloke, LQ and Midnight Dubs
round out the package
