Almost every single release has alot of noises and hisses and in my opnion a few more experimental feelings to it then old recordings from deepchord and such. From new-aged remixes to completely dubbed out old tape recordings, the work that Rod and Steve are releasing has more new-aged potential feelings to it.
The minimalist and characteristic aspects that Rod used to make together with Mike are throwen in a certain blend containing more dancable structures and more diversity in sound.

While having a very strong connection with reggea in releases like the cv313 Sonorous mix, Echospace is a unique blend between 2 producers from Detroit and Chicago that both have different musical ifluences.

Incredible how Rod Modell and Stephen Hitchell shaped the Deepchord world into something that has a certain timeless feeling to it in such a small time.

A very undiscovered and hard to find record.
"Upekah" is a very emotional track for me.
With the panned and very noise hihats, the track can be defined as a recorded live take with taperecorders and multiple delaying. A thing that, i think, is essential in detroit oriented dub techno.
The track contains 4 minute build up with alot of noise and crackles, a powerfull bassline and strings that pronounce a feeling that i hardly can describe.
Because of the mastering, the whole 12" record creates a organic and very analogue impression.

Listening to this track is a true experience. A complete journey of deep and evolving electronic music is the best way describe it.

Did you ever trapped yourself playing the same cd over and over again after a hard day of work, long night out or anything else? I did, and I still enjoy this album very much. Deep and underwater soundscapes with floating, dubby basslines. Incredible high tones and good sound structures on every single track.
Very highly recommerced!

One of those rare records that everybody recognises a bit, but nobody actually know who made it. Pretty solid stuff here, 808 bassdrum, good choice of hihat patterns and a sharp, clear detroit line pasted all around the track. Very upbuilding rhythms with great tension.

Short noticed, but very powerfull releases. More house orientated material with dub and vocals, marking todays deephouse and the good old time when music was interesting to discover. Comparing to other material from Moritz and Mark, this was more accesable to the commercial listener, just listen to MSR 1 and 2 and you know what my point is. After the first two releases, more and more dubby sounds were present, what slowly dragged the sound into the Rhythm & Sound atmosphere.
