May 5th will see the release of Sink-Along, the second album from Brussels based outfit ECHT!, following their outstanding 2019 Inwane. The quartet had already shared the tight and hypnotic first single ‘Vault-A’, and today they have revealed a dope second track called ‘Mtwk Part 2’. The band comments:

“You’ll have to wait for the album to come out to hear the first part but we liked the idea to have a song in two parts in an album and you’ll see that the link between those two is actually not that obvious. Each of them tells a different story and can stand by itself but if you try to put those two tracks together you’ll see that, as a whole, they become something else. In the end it made sense for us and we like that little mystery connection for the listener.”

Listen to ‘Mtwk Part 2’ below.

Sink-Along is out on May 5th through Sdban Ultra.

We love Belgian instrumental quartet ECHT! and their thrilling and intoxicating amalgam of disparate influences. So we’re excited to know they are following up the outstanding 2019 Inwane with a second full-length album. Entitled Sink-Along, the album is set for release on May 5th through Sdban Ultra. It seems like a long way away but the outfit of Martin Méreau, Dorian Dumont, Florent Jeunieaux and Federico Pecoraro are already teasing it with the tight and hypnotic first single ‘Vault-A’, a track dedicated to Brussel’s music centre VOLTA, the “most precious place” in the city. ‘Vault-A’ is offered with a visualizer made by DR.ME. Here it is

Belgian instrumental outfit ECHT! put out a hell of a debut album last year called Inwane, with influences aplenty, including hip-hop, footwork, trap, jazz and electronic music. Now they’re poised to follow it up with two covers from two producers they admire, Sophie and Objekt. The four-piece are offering up their own interpretation of ‘MSMSMSM’ by Sophie and ‘The Goose That Got Away’ by Objekt as a tribute to the club culture. “While being faithful to the atmosphere and the sounds of the two original tracks”, says the press release, “they add the organic energy that is typical of live music.”

MSMSMSM / The Goose That Got Away comes out as a limited edition 7″ on June 3rd through Sdban Records and can now be pre-ordered on bandcamp. Listen to ‘MSMSMSM’ below, you’ll be playing it again the second it ends.

With the impending release of a new album titled Inwane, Belgian instrumental outfit ECHT! have unveiled a live music video for their third single ‘Dunes’. Diego Crutzen Diaz shot the video and you can watch it below.

Inwane is out on September 24th through Sdban Ultra.

After sharing the intoxicating and hypnotic lead single ‘500 gr.‘, Belgian instrumental outfit ECHT! are teasing again their upcoming debut album, Inwane, with a new track called ‘Charlier’. “On that one we love how the trippy vibe is increased by Federico Pecoraro’s unreal bass solo”, comments the band. “On top of it, crazy production moves by Rowan Van Hoef open another dimension .” ‘Charlier’ comes with an accompanying video made by Toxic Motel. Watch it below and watch out for the release of Inwane on September 24th through Sdban Ultra.
