A brand new album by ROD MODELL better known as ECHO SPACE with Soultek's Steve Hitchell and Deepchord.
"Incense and Black Light" is an intoxicating journey into darkness. A sonic travelogue through one mysterious night. The tracks represent 10 different scenes from the same night, taking the listener from dusk to dawn. Psychedelic dub-delays, sub bass, and slabs of alien atmosphere rule here. Ideal headphone listening for 3am.
FOR FANS OF: Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, Main Street, Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound
THE ARTIST: ROD MODELL is a sound designer / electronic music producer from the Detroit area. Began producing music in the mid-80's using analog synthesizers and drum machines. To date (July 2007), MODELL has about 60 releases to his credit. ROD'S work was focused on electo-acoustic experimentation in the early years, making musique concrete compositions with a 4-track cassette machine and field recordings, then branching into industrial soundscape work. More recent recordings utilize more structure and beats, but still retain the atmospherics that MODELL is known for. In the mid-90's, Modell started Deepchord Records (w/ Mike Schommer) in Detroit, as an outlet for his music. Deepchord has experienced tremendous popularity (some say cult status) within the dub-techno world. Formed in the mid-90's, DC was one of the original perveyors of this sound. Hordes of immitators came in the following years after DC, but DC's status as one of the originators is firmly embedded in musical history.
