Kicking off 2023, Egregore Collective is back with a second vinyl release on the main label. This time, we’re diving deep, spiraling down in a sea of reverberated chords and soothing noises. For this new foray in the physical realm, appropriately titled “Tones and Echoes”, we called upon 5 specialists of the deepest forms of dub music.

Opening the record is Germany’s very own Another Channel. With regular appearances on respected labels of the genre such as Moonshine Recordings or Modern Hypnosis, he delivers a laid back dub ballad to kick things off smoothly.

Following up is Vienna based Mantsche, tagging along his mate Bishop with a deeper, stomping and more melancholic sounding riddim, that slowly builds up to a powerful stepper second drop that’s guaranteed to make you skank.

Closing the A side of the record is Masis, a previous collaborator of Another Channel on Moonshine Recordings. He takes us on a deeper tip with a dusty, minimalistic and lo-fi sounding dub punctuated by vocals chanting the name of the track as well as the final destination of this journey : “Mount Zion”.

On the other side, we have an all-Toulouse roster, starting with the enigmatic Stefan Dubs. Essential component of the illegal and underground scene here in Toulouse with the collective Folklore, he once again showcases his trademark meditative, saturated, and sometimes hypnotic aesthetic with another ode to forest raves in the maquis.

Rounding off the record is our own Stacktrace, taking a break from his dancehall bangers to go back to his roots and sign off on a highly progressive tune, sparkled with clicking shakers and drum rolls, and as always building into a very different second drop with a bassline melody that will stick to your head.

Blatant Sauce Enjoyer

And I declared that the dead, who had already died,
are happier than the living, who are still alive.
But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4:2-3


I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 6:7-8

i promise my rateyourmusic acc is so much better than this

English version:

From Pergamino, Buenos Aires, to the heart of the Argentine underground, Nacho Zacco embodies the stoic, sensitive, and visionary artist.

At 12, he was already immersed in bands and albums like Depeche Mode and Massive Attack, and at 15, he debuted with his first residency.

He comments on his keen interest in the most characteristic sonic strains of house and techno, but with a strong influence from pop, new wave, Italo, and others.

In 2003, already settled in Rosario, Santa Fe, he feels deeply grateful to have been part of and relegated to a crucial generation for music in our country, with great artists such as Andrés Zacco, Lucas Mari, Franco Cinelli, Nico Purman, Jorge Savoretti, Cape, and Matías Oviedo, who instilled in him his interest in musical analysis, among others.

He also developed his career as a designer and animator for the advertising agency "FukingRats," where he became project manager two years after joining.

In 2007, he founded his own agency, QuieroBrand.com, where he develops creative solutions, which has become another of his greatest passions.

Thanks to his connection to the music industry, combined with his vision and focus, he has the honor of working on prestigious national and international projects, including Lustig Producciones, a prestigious event production company (Argentina), and in Latin America, managing renowned accounts such as the South American Music Conference (SAMC) festival.

As a music producer, he has launched projects for Guerrilla Tunes (Argentina), where he thanks Pedro D'alessandro for opening the doors of his home to him, Sofa Club (Fr), and on BandCamp.

He also mentions a great Uruguayan talent, Eduardo Brunetto (UY), for his unconditional support, along with the aforementioned Lucas Marí. He talks to us about Lucca Araujo, with whom he has worked on several projects yet to be released: "Proyecto Lanz."

And, above all, he highlights his brother, who paved the way for him from a very young age, not only musically, but also with the perseverance necessary to achieve his goals.

With a deep, emotional, and rhythmic approach, Nacho, or Ignacio as he is known, continues to prove that musical empires are also built from the shadows.
