Mildiou – De Natura Rerum (6:30) 4. Intrusion – Oceanview (5:32) 5. Mildiou – De Natura Rerum (Intrusion Mix) (6:32) Total length: 29:18 No rest for the wickid then as Steve Hitchell dives back into his Intrusion guise for four tracks of deep deep steppa's house and dub driven rhythms. His 'Velocity In A Minor' strides out with a tropical flavoured dub-house rhythm to delight any fans of this style, revolving about achingly well formed patterns shuffled with the dextrous touch of a proper rhythm magician. Lo-Fi Soundsystem's 'De Lions Den' is credited to an original artist from JA, but our instincts and yours may say otherwise. Either way it's an incredibly lush cut of wheezing melodicas and lurching steppas rhythms to do the business in fine style. On the flip Mildiou's 'De Natura Rerum', adds extra dub pressure to a heavy house rhythm, and Intrusion finishes with a faithful Rhythm & Sound tribute on 'Oceanview' sitting deep in smoky atmospherics and skanking movements. Another must-have for all Deepchord/Hitchell fans, seriously seriously deep.-Boomkat All new Intrusion mini-compilation which kicks off in familiar Intrusion territory with the playful sequence of Velocity in a Minor, guaranteed to get you stimulated. However, things really start to get interesting with the next cut, as Stephen Hitchell lifts a scarce Lo-Fi Soundsystem, Jamaican 45rpm release from obscurity and an exclusive reworking for this release – an exciting mix of 4/4 rhythms and island grooves – this is where its at for sure, pure vibes all the way! Mildiou's 'De Natura Rerum' is compelling, pressing all the right buttons, an exceptional cut where the bass chugs along incredibly well, with all the right background atmospherics doing all the right things, you kinda want this one to go on longer, which is really cool. Finally, Intrusion rounds off the EP with 'Oceanview', possibly my favourite here, as I simply love these laid-back, tropical astro-funk basslines that Hitchell seems to be executing so well these days. This comes as a thorough recommendation to your e c h o s p a c e collection. -Interstellar Sounds, England Stephen Hitchell continues to plumb the depths of dub-influenced techno to bring us further crucial low range soundscapes via the echospace [detroit] and Intrusion labels. His recent cv313 release “Sailing Stars” found him geting deliciously minimal with the cuts all employing a less is more approach to their output. Here Hitchell calls in assistance from kindred spirits Mildiou and Lo-Fi Soundsystem to further engage fans of dub-rooted house and techno. Intrusion’s “Velocity In A Minor” is a reductionist slice of dub house and one of the more restrained productions I’ve heard from Hitchell. The repeated chords are reverberated and bounced around in a small closet rather than a cavernous hall with the effect levels kept to a comparative minimum, leaving “Velocity In A Minor” slightly less dreamy than usual for an Intrusion production. Everything I’ve read so far about this release states that the next artist, Lo-Fi Soundsystem, has released under a string of different names in Jamaica; but with no available proof of this and given the nature of the track, I’m guessing it’s someone from the echospace crew up to some sly name-foolery. In any case, “De Lions Den” is a skanking dub, crackling with burnt out vinyl scars and infused with a thick swampy dose of melodica. Timing in at a scant four minutes twenty it feels unjustly short, though that’s nothing a few repeated listens or back to backs won’t fix. Mildiou, however, is Frenchman Alexandre Lehmann, who also goes under the names Zzzzra and Unique. His “De Natura Return” fires off chords stabs in mechanical fashion, creating mushroom clouds of reverb around them, letting the tubby bass line carry the melody of the track. Intrusion returns with “OceanView” full of sloppy off-beat percussion and half time melancholic groove. As a companion piece to the 4/4 “Velocity In A Minor” it is its complimentary opposite, all languid and loose as opposed to the tighter, more structured grooves of the former. The digital version of the release features an Intrusion remix of Mildiou’s track, which adds some more warmth to the stark rhythms and peppers it with subtle, hand slapped drums. These tracks may not sound too different from any others in the Intrusion or echospace back catalog, but given their unquestionable quality they serve only to bolster the reputation of this fine label. -Little White Earbuds This predictably splendid twelve-inch from Stephen Hitchell's Intrusion / Echospace stable serves up four cuts by Intrusion, Lo-Fi Soundsystem, and Mildiou that are aromatic and tropical in the extreme. The A-side's opener “Velocity In A Minor,” a funky tech-house stepper sprinkled with subtle dub production touches by Hitchell under the Intrusion guise ( Hitchell also records under the Soultek and Variant names), grooves mightily for an economical six minutes, after which Lo-Fi Soundsystem takes a rootsier plunge in “De Lions Den” with skanky chords and melodica-styled melodies flickering over a bass-heavy swing. Like a shark gliding through deep waters in search of prey, Mildiou's “De Natura Rerum” slithers through bass-heavy waters in classic Echospace tradition. Like “De Lions Den,” “De Natura Rerum” opts for a deep, Rhythm & Sound-styled dub vibe that owes as much to Berlin as it does Jamaica, while the second B-side cut, Intrusion's “OceanView,” is as dubbily deep as its title suggests. Listeners basking in the serene settings featured on recent Echospace full-lengths by Brock Van Wey (White Clouds Drift On and On) and Variant (The Setting Sun) might be surprised to discover how uptempo and aggressive the Lo-Fi Soundsystem material is by comparison. -Textura Echospace presents a killer selection of steppa's riddims and tropical grooves. Intrusion's "Velocity In A Minor" is all about being playful with a sequence and splicing. Lo-Fi Soundsystem makes their first 12" appearance on Intrusion with a track given a second lease on life from its scarce 45 release. A mystical midnight groove reworked by Stephen Hitchell. Mildiou crosses into territory comparable to Intrusion's "Tswana Dub" or the atmospheric dub side of Rhythm & Sound, and "Oceanview" paints a picture of oceanic vapor haze. -Halycon, NYC Another excursion into the dubbier side of techno here from Echospace sister label Intrusion with a compilation 12” that’s rocking it. Two tracks from Intrusion and one each from Lo-Fi Soundsystem and Mildiou (neither of which I’m familiar with I’m ashamed to admit, although I believe there may be a Jamaican connection with LFSS – I’m sure I’ll be corrected on that though!) Anyway, Intrusion is up first with a romper of a track that has an almost Soultek vibe to it (like the cv313 actually). A grooving 4/4, distant echoes, funky basslines and the kind of production that’s aching to be heard on the dancefloor. Lo-Fi Soundsystem deliver ‘De Lion’s Den’ which really is a superlative slice of pure dub underpinned by a solid, effective kick and snare. Purist sounds no doubt. Flip for Midiou which, I have to say, is my personal highlight of the EP. Uber-deep and subterranean to the max, this is a track that got right into my head as soon as I heard it and kept me coming back. Classic dub techno in some ways, yet it has enough personality of its own to shine through. And, ultimately, it’s just a very, very track and that’s the most important thing. Intrusion finishes up with ‘OceanView’ which has more of a downbeat flavour but sticks resolutely to the dubwise feel. In fact at one point I thought I could hear a melodica fading into the mix, but I think it was a combination of harmonics on the chords. Slow, low, reverb-drenched and pure, this is a slice of gold. So, in summary, it’s a wicked EP and I believe that once again we’re on fairly limited copies of these. Be assured you can buy this with confidence if you’re a fan of the label in any way, shape or form. Pure class. -Smallfish, London Honorable mentions in The Wire, BBC Radio, End Of Year Charts (Dub Column @ The Wire), iDJ, Groove and De:Bug. written + produced by stephen hitchell, lofi soundsytem + alexandre lehmann. remix and additional production by stephen hitchell. mastered in echospace.

Reflection I (Reshaped By Atheus) (6:46) 4. Reflection I (Inhaked By Area) (6:31) Total length: 35:07 Stephen Hitchell enlists the help of Atheus and Area here for an alternate set of views on last years amazing 'Reflection'. Area provides two mixes; the rhythm-driven 'Exhaked...' version sounding like a vintage number from the Chain Reaction catalogue circa 1998, and the beatless 'Inhaked...' mix, strongly reminding of Vainqueur in his best form. Hitchell's own 'Unreleased Extended Mix' expands on the original with amazingly deep and introspective progressions framed by spacious overdubs, while Atheus' remix is the best of the pack, shaping a deliciously dub-house-y bassline with ethereal pads and shimmering silvery-grey chords. Gorgeous material from Echospace once again - very highly recommended.. -Boomkat written + produced by stephen hitchell. remix and additional production by area and atheus for echospace detroit.

Seduction (cv313 Morning Dub) (11:54) Total length: 23:54 Steve Hitchell's prolific output over the last 12 months continues to keep us on our toes , but with a brilliantly simple tempo drop his latest emission as Intrusion ranks as his finest material yet. 'Seduction' is a typically righteous Hitchell cut, except it opeartes on a heavy lidded 100bpm, more commonly associated with the cosmic or balaeric disco sound and imbuing the track with a heady off-balance that just intensifies the narcosis. The bass pulses like a rhythmically heavy headwind, allowing the atmospheric analog ephemera to swirl in slo-mo for deep, almost paralysing effect. His CV313 Morning Dub edit on the flip climbs the tempo to a 115bpm throb, and adds more detailed layers of housing percussion making for the perfect breezy dancefloor effect, imagine the lights creeping through the blinds at Panorama Bar at 10am and you're there.

Intrusion – Tswana Dub (10:42) 4. Intrusion – Intrusion Dub (11:51) 5. Intrusion – Seduction (8:16) 6. Intrusion – Reflection I (6:41) 7. Intrusion – Twilight (5:46) 8. Intrusion – A Night To Remember (11:07) 9. Intrusion & Paul St. Hilaire – Little Angel (6:16) 10. Intrusion – Under The Ocean (4:44) Total length: 01:19:50 Stephen Hitchell's full-length debut under his Intrusion moniker literally picks up where his last full-length—Echospace's 2007 epic The Coldest Season, recorded with partner-in-crime Rod Modell—left off. The massive "Empyrean" that closed The Coldest Season with a floor-friendly journey into dub techno was the album's most overtly Jamaican-sounding and beat-laden track, and the Intrusion sound finds its roots within its blueprint. If The Coldest Season's was an updated take on Basic Channel's glacial soundscapes, then The Seduction of Silence sees Hitchell bringing the more explicitly reggae-influenced sounds of Rhythm and Sound into the present—including two cuts (one a chilled dub mix of the other) with the honeyed vocals of Paul St. Hilaire (AKA Tikiman). The Caribbean lilt present throughout the album (last year's mighty "Tswana Dub" single, included here, and the two cuts with St. Hilaire being the standout examples) lends a unified air to the proceedings. Hitchell slowly but surely increases the pace and intensity of the tracks from the opener "Montego Bay" through to the shuddering, staggering "Intrusion Dub" before pulling back on the reins with the slinky, sexy "Seduction" and then alternates between the deadly intense and dead mellow on the album's back half before finally concluding with the sparkling ambient coda of "Under the Ocean." Hitchell's solo work is far more rhythmically adventurous and danceable than most Echospace material. The delayed and doctored analog pulses (no sequencers here, thanks) are adorned with a smattering of congas and other percussion, as well as a standard deep bass drum stomp and Studio 1-inspired bass lines. Make no mistake—the album doesn't sound explicitly like King Tubby; it's more like his ghost is haunting your favorite Maurizio sides. Beyond the phased and echoed chords and analog atmospherics, though, there is a palpable sense of spirituality present here that distinguishes The Seduction of Silence from most other dub techno, which has a tendency to be cold and metallic. There's a warm, celestial quality in the melodies here that looks skyward, and St. Hilaire's cuts provide the perfect bookends to the album; the dubbed-out "Angel Version" is track two, while the full vocal version "Little Angel" comes second to last. The lovestruck, inspirational lyrics and St. Hilaire's soothing tones go a long way toward lending a definitive voice to the album that travels beyond mere vocals into a deeper meaning that transcends the ten tracks. Though individual highlights abound on The Seduction of Silence, the album works best when taken as a whole, an endorsement of Hitchell's vision for an expertly paced and executed album that raises the bar on the dub techno game to stratospheric levels. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better winter warmer than this; remember it with warm thoughts when winter returns later this year, when it's time for year-end polls. -Resident Advisor There's something quite special at work on Steven Hitchell's first solo album. Recording under the name Intrusion and working with the excellent techno-reggae vocalist Paul St. Hilaire on two tracks, Hitchell employs techno, reggae, dub, ambient, and African elements to define a huge and echoey but also warm and welcoming sonic space that changes color and texture somewhat from track to track, but maintains a sense of soft grandeur throughout. On "Montego Bay" a no-nonsense house beat anchors a gently swirling torrent of dubwise sound shards; on "Angel Version," St. Hilaire's voice is nicely complemented by a faux-rainy ambience that somehow manages to sound perfect rather than cheesy; on "Intrusion Dub" the contours of an actual reggae song emerge out of the murky sonic soup and the house-cum-rockers rhythmic throb, complete with an actual chord progression (only two chords, naturally) and shredded wisps of melodica. "Seduction" is more quiet and contemplative than sexy, and the album's final hidden track is ambient in an almost Brian Eno-ish style. The dark and echoey grooves are all grist for the downtempo mill, but there's something more subtle deep in the heart of this music as well -- a spirit that is not quite meditative, not quite joyful, not quite explicitly uplifting, but that still somehow communicates all of those things at once. -All Music Guide The Intrusion full-length is finally here - a massively anticipated follow up of sorts to 'The Coldest Season' album and without question the most fully-realised Echospace project since that album came out 18 months ago. Steve Hitchell reserves his Intrusion moniker for his rich and sumptuous dub experiments, more Rhythm & Sound as opposed to the to M-Series or BC references more commonly associated with the Deepchord axis. Referencing the Caribbean on 'Montego Bay' the padded, heady structure of the music infuses the massive sense of space with a warm and breezy pulse that sets this music apart from so much of the rubber-coated preset teasing that passes for dub techno these days. Paul St. Hilaire, meanwhile, adds a typically righteous vocal presence alongside luxurious Fender Rhodes on 'Angel', a beautiful cut exclusive to this CD issue. The best tracks from the 12"s are compiled with 'Intrusion Dub', 'Seduction', 'Reflection', 'Tswana Dub' and 'Twilight', in addition to the glorious 'A Night To Remember' inspired by his travels to Japan. Crazily limited to a mere 300 copies only, the cd is now completely sold out at source so we strongly recommend you get a nudge on if you want in. Highly Recommended! -BOOMKAT Of all the many producers who've continued to refine the dub/techno blueprint sketched out in the mid '90s by Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald as Basic Channel, Detroit's Echospace — comprised of Stephen Hitchell and Rod Modell — are rightly the most garlanded. On The Seduction Of Silence, Hitchell dons his Intrusion moniker for more fuzzily lachrymose cuts, all of them marked by thick, hypnotic 4/4 pulses, spiralling echoes and submerged bass rumbles. The opening lurch of "Montego Bay," with its sudden switch from slo-mo rambling to direct, surprising sturdiness works as a neat template for what follows, Hitchell carefully pairing the horizontal tones of home-listening warmth with the more forceful demands of the dancefloor. Make no mistake though, it's a dancefloor of the deepest, most doleful variety we're talking about; the aquatic kick drums and glooping reverb of "Angel Version" entwine themselves around regular Ernestus and Oswald contributor Paul St. Hilaire's heavenly feather-light vocals, while "A Night To Remember" layers lush static washes over barely-there bass and delicately poised percussion. Like all the best dub, and indeed the best techno, Seduction inhabits the murky area between moving and staying still, between sleeping and waking, stretching time with its slow-morphing, endlessly unravelling loops. It's been said that the micro-scene that orbits around the sounds pioneered Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and the rest is at its finest when it can't be replicated by your memory after hearing it — music that's so textured it can't be hummed, or drummed, or experienced in any fundamental way when it's not playing. In this languid dream of an album, Hitchell has proved that he has this intangible techno hinterland at his fingertips, masterfully channelling the echoing ghosts of dub's past and re-forging them as beguiling entities all of their own. -Emusic Certain schools of thought believe the highest achievements of dub techno have been long ago attained by the likes of Maurizio and his Basic Channel/Chain Reaction cohorts. However there is no denying the stunning addendums from the likes of Quantec, Rod Modell and Stephen Hitchell et al. have furthered the legacy of the deep, dubby sound. Hitchell has been carving out a name for himself since the early days of the millennium with his stunning twelves and EPs under various guises and now marks his debut foray into the full length album stakes as Intrusion. There are other producers of this sound who have made their own mark with rich, palatable offerings of dub-wise bounty, some steeped in the blueprint of those who came before them, others presenting a more modern slant. For my money though the refined sound-sculpture of Intrusion captures the essence of this music’s past as well as staying true to the ethos of dub being a future gazing sound. This becomes more and more apparent throughout listening to The Seduction Of Silence, especially on repeat as the frayed textures weave in and out of the atmospheric hiss and tape noise, that sonic grit itself punctuating the notes through various filters and gates. This is not just a well realized and cohesive album, but also one displaying an encompassing approach to dub techno, from the spatial, languid grooves on “Montego Bay” to the more upbeat, faster paced “Intrusion” and “Tswana Dub” (the latter even sound checks its own history with a nod to the disco zaps of the 70′s era Brentford Road producers). For every peak of intensity reached a more sedate, gloriously downbeat moment follows, the apex reached via the ten plus minute instrumental sounds of “A Night To Remember,” which is about as heady and trance-inducing as dub techno gets. Things start winding down with “Little Angel,” quite fittingly featuring the heavenly vocals of Paul St. Hilaire, the Dominican with a long associated history within the genre. More commonly St. Hilaire’s lyrics are songs of praise or rastaman’s lament; “Little Angel,” though, is a love paean through and through and marks an exit towards the ambient rub of “Under The Ocean.” Where other albums represent a more clinical or detached take on this oeuvre, Hitchell’s heart is in the analogue gear he uses, giving The Seduction Of Silence an unbridled human warmth that is the very pulse of emotion. It’s this feeling — all at once melancholy yet hopeful — that keeps this album on continuous loop on my system and surely makes it worthy of consideration as as an early contender for album of the year. -Little White Earbuds Far from a routine exercise in dub techno, The Seduction of Silence slowly reveals itself as a warm and wonderful place to be. Crafted by Stephen Hitchell (half of Deepchord), the album is defined by its warmth, space, and strong, slow builds. Muscular, dubwise basslines coil around the tunes, weaving distant African percussion, sub-bass kicks, melodica, and dub-chord waves into timeless, pulsing grooves. At times recalling Pole’s and Rhythm & Sound’s best work, the music culls from those artists’ best aspects while still maintaining a fresh and unique sound. Seduction looks outside the standard Maurizio cohort, as Hitchell prefers to channel King Tubby swimming alone at night. -XLR8R Magazine Echospace has been dominant in the techno dub sweepstakes over the last two years. The Detroit label has paid tribute to both the European origins of the genre and its Detroit location, particularly with their project reconfiguring Model 500 last year. Even by this label's increasingly high standards, The Seduction Of Silence is a gem. Unlike Deepchord, Steven Hitchell's chilly collaboration with Rod Modell, Intrusion radiates warmth. Two versions of "Little Angel" with Paul St. Hilaire set the pace, where dramatic filter sweeping washes over the song like a tropical breeze. "Montego Bay" delivers on its promise, with gentle waves of sound, which turn into an irresistible undertow. Even the most remote sonics, such as "Twilight," still manage to stir the soul in unexpected ways. The tiniest details warrant scrutiny on this disc but the whole is a lovely journey in sound that also works in less intensive listening circumstances. Hitchell makes you think about the emotional content of pink noise. -EXCLAIM Magazine thewire.co.uk/archive/contributors/matthew-wuethrich/rewind-2009_contributors-charts Best album of 2009 in numerous magazines and honorable mentions in The Wire, XLR8R, Textura, NPR, GO, De-Bug, Groove and more. This digital edition includes 3 songs (11, 12, 13) which weren't featured on the physical CD release. "A Night To Remember" inspired by the 2008 Labyrinth Festival, Japan. Paul St. Hilaire appears courtesy of False Tuned. This album is dedicated to my children, family and the only father I've ever known: Robert Lee Hitchell (R.I.P.) A special thanks to all the fans, distributors, stores, believers and friends who have supported and embraced this music, without you none of this would be possible. More information:

Tswana Dub (Phase90 Restructure Edit) Following on the heels of this spring's "Intrusion/Reflection" double-pack, Intrusion (AKA Stephen Hitchell) steps out onto a new echospace [detroit] sub label with an absolute stunner. Displaying a slightly melodic bent and a palpable reggae influence not heard in much of what's being lumped into the dub scene these days, "Tswana Dub" creates a hazy mood that's perfect for late summer swinging. Riding a skeleton of keyboard stabs and a bass line straight outta Kingston, the track effortlessly drifts out of the speakers like a cloud of thick green smoke. Light but dense shimmering pads bounce off of each other and faded bits of percussion drift in and out of the mix to create an almost tangible atmosphere: dark, steamy, and built on a foundation as timeless and solid as the hills. This is music to dream to, to float on, to pray to. Brendon Moeller's Beat Pharmacy Dub steps up the Jamaican influence even further, deploying ghost horns, organ stabs, and expertly phased and echoed percussion while upping the tempo slightly and adding a welcome bass kick over effects, including a nifty backwards rhythm track that adds to the otherworldly feel. More percussive and active than the original, Moeller's dub would make King Tubby proud. Hitchell's Phase90 moniker does the honors on the final version, submerging the whole formula in a vat of fizzing acid and playing back the half-dissolved track over the most uptempo beat yet and that rock-steady bass line; too tough to die, it survives the dunking and adapts to the quicker pace as if it always belonged there. While dub techno may be an especially "trendy" style in 2008, "Tswana Dub" easily elevates itself over most everything else in the genre, with all three cuts representing the best the genre has on offer. Ignore the hype (and impending backlash) and embrace this as the very special record that it is. 5/5 -Resident Advisor "The mysterious Intrusion project (feat. on echospace 007) emerges once again and delivers another epic release. Throughout the original mix of "Tswana Dub" you find smooth textured pads and a bassline even the mighty King Tubby would surrender to. The melodies evolve in slow motion over time as the synth hits open and close into a fierce midnight skanking session so lo-fi you would think this was recorded at Studio 1 in the 1960's. On the flip side Brendon Moeller serves up heavy bass reductions, live melodicas, brass sections and spatially aware dub FX. The Phase90 mix dissects Intrusion's original into a full spectrum spatial affair as deep as the sea, epic and beautiful." -Boomkat Convulsing bass, Jamaican summer vibes and techno ambiance and the mysterious Intrusion project, sub-label of echospace, is launched with a truly heartfelt eruption. Again, this release stands far above the flood of 'dub-techno' releases also flooding the market right now. The bassline alone on Tswana Dub will undoubtedly blow you away and with totally authentic dub styling to boot, then look no further, this is the business. -Interstellar Sounds, England written + produced by stephen hitchell. remix + additional production by brendon moeller. mastered in echospace More information:

'Intrusion dub' is simply classic Echospace, with all the requisite elements of sonorous bass, inpenetrable analog crackle and well crafted techno and house rhythms filtered through the minds of two dub souls. Steve Hitchell's cv313 mix is a muted affair, boiling the track down to a glowing residue of padded kicks and vinyl static, while the Phase90 reshape is our favourite cut here, adding some expertly developed techno percussion to produce a narcotic and deadly club number that will destroy anyone lucky enough to hear it played out on a proper system. The final side winds things down into ambient bliss in classic deepchord/echospace fashion, clearing the air for what will no doubt follow with the next installment from this excellent label. Review from Little White Earbuds: Given the wobbly state of music distribution after the shuttering of Syntax, Amato and Watts Music and a dollar value which shrivels daily next to the euro, Detroit/Chicago-based label echospace can be forgiven for being stingy on new releases. Echospace released the majority of its catalog last year as well, which makes this year’s new additions look scant in comparison. But after digging in to the label’s seventh release and first from heretofore unknown producer Intrusion, fans will be glad its owners (and in-house producers of a sort), Stephen Hitchell and Rod Modell, waited to throw their weight behind such a fantastic release. The 2×12″ comes on multi-colored vinyl and arrives April 30th. As with many echospace releases, the massive scope of sound captured on “Intrusion” could score an ecosystem in mid-breath. The 12 minute behemoth ebbs and flows between a natural drifting momentum and the more deliberate structure of two rhythms (kick and upstroke) syncing together. Arriving suddenly, an affected organ tone sizzles through circuitry as its pitch defrays into many smaller notes, roughly following the loping main progression through the sonic obstacles of hiss and more effects. To call it an immense piece of music would be an understatement, as it’s easy to find something new during each spin through “Intrusion”’s many eddies. But just in case you’re the rabid fan who quickly commits every note to memory, there are two extra versions to turn your head inside out. Hitchell’s once secret cv313 moniker provides a more streamlined version which could actually fit inside a club. Its bumpy yet singular progression mutates and bounces back upon itself as it’s pressed through ever more delay and effects. It’s the pared down, floor-pounding techno mix from Phase 90 (who? a guitar pedal enthusiast?), however, which captivates me the most. Like a giant oar scraping in its well, the tune churns with great force and explodes into a rolling 4×4 groove at the kick drum’s arrival. Padded with pneumatic hi-hat swish, the spartan Phase 90 mix nicely compliments the dark and dubby sounds of Shed/Ben Klock/Marcel Dettmann; don’t be surprised to hear them playing it out this summer. Then there’s the “Reflection” side of the equation, which is comparatively closer to conventional dub techno. A perpetual and affected give-and-take transforms a wandering liquid melody trickling through the first minutes into electrified bolts of singing tone on “Reflection I.” By contrast, “II” is nearly beatless and almost ambient, a muffled pitch rumbling through sheets of manipulated fizz. “Intrusion/Reflection” is a strong way for Intrusion and echospace to start 2008, one much more thoroughly composed and versatile than the many derivations of dub techno bubbling around these days. It’s certainly worth the wait and your hard earned cash. w + p by intrusion from 1995 - 2004. More information:

The first incarnation of "A Gentle Embrace" came in the form of three extended reshapes from cv313 & variant and now we're proud to offer the original work on beautiful crystal clear 160 gram wax. This new release was engineered and mixed down from 1/4" analog tape and mastered by bazza (Abbey Road Studios, Radiohead.) at Alchemy, London. We'll let the music do the rest of the talking, from our heart to yours... Some feedback: "Stephen Hitchell, one half of Motor City dub-techno operators Echospace, revives his Intrusion alias in 2015 for new album project A Gentle Embrace. That title speaks volumes, quietly. This is techno-music stripped back to its bare bones, its raw elements. The A side (Original) is filled with wave-upon-wave of gaseous atmospheres being tickled by a twitching, propulsive Wolfgang Voight percussion. Flip-side, Hitchell brings the Kick. But only just, before it disappears into the wormhole. Pressed loud on crystal clear 160g wax. Engineered and mixed down from 1/4" analogue tape and mastered by Bazza (Abbey Road Studios, Thom Yorke / Radiohead) at Alchemy, London." -Bleep "Stephen Hitchell (Echospace/Deepchord) in deep troddin' house mode as Intrusion. 'A Gentle Embrace' occurs on the A-side, teasing tendrils of ghostly analogue signals around a padded bassline that rolls down from cloudy mountainsides. On the flip his 'Reduction' clears the air and tightens up the bass for a more steppin', light-headed effect." -Boomkat released 07 September 2015 w + p by intrusion. mastered in echospace.

Thru The Cosmos [Ison + Spica] (44:41) Total length: 44:41 Live recording reflecting on perhaps the most anticipated astronomical event of the year as Comet ISON makes its way toward the sun, in just a few days it will be the closest proximity to it and should be something worth gazing up at the sky and reflecting on the time, space continuum. By Christmas day, the comet will take its brightest form illuminating the night sky helping us to remember how mystical and magical the universe really is as this comet crosses paths with spica. The recording was made in reflection of this event and meant to score as a soundtrack to it and the constellation of mystical events occurring in the depths of space. The content recorded here was made entirely and exclusively using the soon to be published, "echoes in space" DVD sound library. Given the current state and delay on orders we wanted to give a little something back to all you patient fans eagerly awaiting your new music.

Captured in this 8 track cassette recording is a very rare live performance from variant's "dreaming thru vector" project, performed in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Halloween night for a private gallery event. Due to the environmental nature of this performance, the beats were subdued, the analog modulations took on new life and the haunting ghostly ambiance set the stage for a soundtrack one could only imagine in deep space.

(From Bandcamp) Back of cover: Field recordings and found sounds and field recordings captured during the blizzard known as “Linus”, the 5th worst blizzard in Chicago and Detroit’s history. The magic of the polar vortex and the arctic conditions it left behind were greatly significant during the creation of “Auratia” and the mystical sonic world captured during recording. "Auratia" is made entirely with hardware, Vintage analog equipment in conjunction with innovative customized modular synthesizers winnow a basis for algorithmic structure improvisation. This sound experiment re-synthesizes from a current plane into altered planes of effects for a radically new experience that breaks down barriers. Ghostly harmonics fold and unfold like symmetrical patterns in nature to generate a myriad of complex and infinite rhythmic lines blurring the here and now.

" -nowamuzyka magazine "According to Echospace's Stephen Hitchell, the second part of the Vortextual series, under his Variant ambient alias, was designed as a "soundtrack for traveling alone in the outer depths of space".

Aurora's Dream [Lucid Mix] (59:02) Total length: 01:54:08 Over 2 years in the making and 10 years of synth programming and development, Variant's "Aurora's Dream" is reawakened. The inspiration stems from a new method of seeing and hearing thru re-synthesized harmonic tables and new algorithmic structures creating an analogue ocean of unexplored sounds. In search of sonic slivers beneath the surface, variant taps into something that breaks the mold; where the culmination of light and sound can reveal a new panoramic world. Painstakingly developed sound design, paying close attention to every finite detail, the original is revisited in search of sonic existence within the mind, capturing the essence of brain waves thru sound -- vibrational healing. With Light, apparitions appear and disappear. Just as sound can interrupt and influence a dream. One lamp can light a hundred thousand lamps in the darkness. These ideas combined are the reveries into the reawakening of aurora's dream. Epiphanies towards enlightenment. Foreboding, yet distorted. Ominous, but inviting.. not for the faint of heart.

Thru The Cosmos [Perseids] (58:19) Total length: 01:55:31 The third release of the thru the cosmos series, pallas/perseids celebrates some of the most sensational astronomical events that occur in the summer night sky. Variant returns with yet another inspired approach to capturing cosmic happenings and emulating them into a sonic world that is both explorative and imaginative. Just as they occur over eons, Pallas/Perseids unfold before our eyes in full activity, most visible late July/early August and can be experienced by simply looking up to the heavens. Underneath dark skies, light unfolds when watching its glorious splendor raining down into the earth's atmosphere. Icey bodies such as Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle (the origin of Perseids) and Pallas ( roughly the 2nd largest known asteroid in the Universe to date) remind us of "the most quintessential spirit in its purest form." For all those who loved Variant's first-ever published project, "Falling Stars," (the original recordings date back to 1994) and just about everything Variant has released, there is much to love and enjoy here. A complete masterpiece paying homage to great thinkers dating as far back as platonic/neoplatonic times of whom interests stem from the quest to connect with the Celestine.

Building on the complexity of the original but ebbs and flows in a lo-fi spirit thanks to downgrading the original source material, deceptively fluid in sound design but hypnotic in nature. Fragments of the original are filtered and looped from analog tape machines and an extensive array of vintage boutique guitar pedals and "real-time" loop stations to create a sort of immersive, impressionistic listening experience. There's a considerably darker hue in sound design, most likely attributed to the haunting qualities surrounding the field recordings conducted at a variety of cemeteries around Michigan.

The reshape is over 60 minutes of some of the most engaging and inspired atmospheric work we've ever heard, a blissful analog bubble bath. A cerebral epic where time seems to stand still, an exquisite portrayal of the power of restraint and repetition, sonically enriching and emotionally engaging. Utilizing field recordings, synthesized harmonics developed by the frequencies from wind gusts, hydrophones and a neurophone to give one the sensation of transportation to a natural environment they know but haven't heard or felt in this realm.

"Auratia" is made entirely with hardware, paying homage to infinite forms of synthesis, from analog, dco, waveshaping, vector, there's a myriad of forms explored producing unique results. Vintage analog equipment in conjunction with innovative customized modular synthesizers winnow a basis for algorithmic structure improvisation. This sound experiment re-synthesizes from a current plane into altered planes of effects-a radically new experience that breaks down barriers.

Vortexual [Element Zero] (Coppice Halifax Nightly Excavation) (01:07:53) Total length: 01:07:53 This beautiful rework comes from one of the most prolific artists in the scene today, Coppice Hallifax. A new player in the echospace domain but one who's no stranger to this sound, he's released 100's of albums over the span of 15 years. We believe his music is built from the same purist analog frame of thought and continues in spirit. He plays variant's "element zero" into an ocean of analog bliss, dubbed out into a shadowy sonic world all its own. For those of you who adored the obscure Chain Reaction releases, this is most certainly an immense trip for the heads and one you need to take! Artist's thoughts on the reworking of [element zero]: "On the specifics of what I used to do it: Peavey 24ch mixer using all six aux sends, including Pioneer spring reverb, Alesis Quadraverb, Boss RC20, Moog ring mod, BBE Two Timer analog delay and Ibanez Phase Modulator. These were also routed into their own input channels, so feedback was happening in parts, and then I was running excerpts and FFT processed loops of Element Zero into the mixer independently via a prepared four track cassette, which on its own aux send was using a Danelectro Reel Echo unit. Beyond even that, the looping chord I built from the Echoes In Space library was coming off a prepared tape loop on my Roberts 450A reel to reel, running split outputs through a Behringer Ultrashift, Moog low pass filter and a Moog MIDI MuRF/Boss SL20." -Coppice Hallifax released December 16, 2016 w + p by variant. reshaped and remixed by brian grainger as coppice halifax. mastered by stephen hitchell in echospace.

Vortexual [Inception] (01:06:51) Total length: 01:06:51 After a serious turbulent start to the new year things have finally calmed down and are coming together, in introspection, we leave you with a gorgeous outtake from the ever-expanding vortexual project. During the past 2 months of restoring our home office and studio, we ascertained the original master recordings which conceptualized the entire vortexual project(s). This was dated prior to any subsequent releases, the first step in the evolution aptly titled, "inception." Sensuous streams of reverberation offer an ethereal plane of existence; a place where one can live, breath and escape. Transcendental sonic immersion of the highest order, an ethereal electric dream. We are eternally grateful for everyone's support of the project and label through the years, beyond words.

The fourth release of the epic thru the cosmos series, Eta/Aquariids commemorates some of the most sensational astronomical events that occur in the summer night sky. A sonic travelogue for the ultimate immersive experience for all stargazers and imaginative persons alike. This project consists of newfound sounds and 7:1 field recordings specific to our observation locations. In echospace, we pride ourselves on the many years of unique experiences that culminate from our deep love of astronomy. We have special plans to watch these meteorites grace our atmosphere, and not just as mere observers on Earth, but of whom believe in connecting with those from the future and the ones before us. It is known that ancients partook in this experience, dating back as far as the Egyptians. These space particles disintegrating from Haley's comet are stunning, and simply provide us all with an exceptional human experience. It is advised that anyone watching be placed in complete darkness. And in this darkness, we are surrounded by light. This epic sound world was created to score as a soundtrack for the multitude of otherworldly cosmic events and features what we would consider some of the most engaging sound designs to date. A sonic universe all its own.

The radius project has been absent since the final release in 2001, the first 12" appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at Acme pressing in Canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here. This project was initially sent to Rod Modell & Mike Schommer shortly after they launched their brilliant deepchord label in 2001. They were incredibly kind in saying it was the best demo they had ever heard and passed it on to Octal records for release, sadly, that didn't materialize and since then these masters have been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now. We've spent months doing our best to restore the old tapes from our Tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards.

Radius's "Interpolation Tapes" (Restoration One) is the first part in a series of three releases featuring future classics from the vault of Stephen Hitchell's (cv313/echospace/intrusion) Radius project, a rich analog tapestry made in the heart of Detroit, Techno City. The music stems from cassette recordings conducted from 1994-2001 with nothing but analog/digital hardware, no computer in sight. The Radius project has been virtually absent since the final vinyl release in 2001, the first 12" appearing in 1996 (limited white label run of 100 copies pressed at Acme pressing in Canada) after revisiting these works we realized there was truly some magic here which came to form with a double CD album, "Obsolete Machines" back in March, featuring beautiful reworks and reshapes from cv313. These were also part of the original tape sessions for a project initially sent to Rod Modell & Mike Schommer (for consideration for release on their brilliant deepchord imprint) back in 2001. Given their imprint was a home for their own personal recordings, this entire project has never seen the light of day. This work has been collecting dust in our cassette rack for nearly 20 years now and we've finally brought it all back to life. The original source tapes had aged, warped and degraded and as a result we've preserved the best segments, sampled and reprocessed with a vintage prophet 2000 sampler, studio 440 and various Linn samplers to add depth and range to the original source material. We've spent nearly an entire year restoring and interpolating over 100 hours of music, processing sound and redesigning the blueprints of this long forgotten project. Every track was originally recorded down to an old Tascam 688, an 8 track cassette recorder purchased and abused since 1992 and to our ears still sounds quite impressive even by modern standards. We've had nearly every component replaced and re-calibrated to bring this obsolete machine back to life. It's been a truly nostalgic experience re-visiting and re-arranging these masters, regardless of the time passed, there's so much depth in sound design, raw emotions and when considering the limitations of hardware in the era these were recorded, they've truly aged like a fine wine... We hope you enjoy this magical time in music, as we are very inspired by all that was happening in those years, there's undeniably something in the air, a mystifying energy, long may it live on... released August 1, 2017 written and produced by radius [1993-2001] engineered, restored and interpolated from analog tape. mastered in echospace.

This album also includes 5 songs which were never released along with two songs captured from analog tape recordings of his live performance at an after party at the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival. *Unreleased and re-mastered versions of early Soultek, most of which is unavailable in any format* The irrepressibly productive Stephen Hitchell coaxes more ghostly imprints from Chicago and Detroit classics on this collection of early works dating from 1993 to 2000. 'Reflective' includes five previously unreleased songs along with two tracks taken from analog tape recordings of live performances at an after party for the first ever Detroit Music Festival, lending a authentically spectral resonance to the proceedings. There's an energy about tracks like 'Groove Control' and 'Spaceman' that you won't find in more recent echospace releases, from the moe up-tempo nature of the tracks, to the preference for spacey Convextion alike synths and raw pumping Dance Mania styles on 'Soul Twist'. Its an enlightening, introspective and varied look at an essential cog in the post-Basic Channel world of Detroit and dub techno, connecting the cities of Berlin and Detroit like few others.
