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
