Hip Hopper since 1978 with wife and kid looking for musical inspiration between honey and daddy dos.  I'm inspired by the acclaim of the loop based music of Roc Marciano, Apollo Brown and 14 KT making classic beats on little more than a cracked version of Cool Edit Pro, the L.A. Beat Movement, Nick tha 1da's SP-303/404 videos, all the SP-303/404 beat makers, the stories of how Donuts was made (regardless of how true they may or may not be), deejays going the less convenient route and mixing all vinyl sets, all of the incredible rapper-less albums that have dropped the past 7 years, Oddisee, Damu the Fudgemunk, Dibia$e, Ras G, Samiyam, just about every beat by Madlib, Adrian Younge, and the simplicity of a stack of records with a drum machine.  I'm inspired by minimalism.  Enjoy the mix.

PRAISE YE JAH [CRAZE & COREY CHASE REMIX]

Umberto Echo  - The Name Of The Dub  
Echo Beach (EB108) – 17 tracks CD/DL
(limited edition of 999 copies)
Release Date:  30th October 2015


Umberto Echo is a Munich-based (music) writer, (dub) professor, (sound) hermeneut and multi-instrumentalist. Umberto Echo seizes the raw musical backbone of a riddim – specifically reggae – and uses it to generate multifaceted dubs in the studio as remixes or LIVE tracks.
In the past he has worked as a sound engineer for Jahcoustix, Jamaram, Headcornerstone, DS & TH, Dub INC, and has produced international reggae vocalists and deejays such as Alborosie, Junior Kelly, Luciano and Luton Fyah, as well as remixing a host of artists, including Gentleman, Seeed, Steelpulse, Sly & Robbie, Damian Marley, Stereo MCs. 
 
Nestling between digital echo chambers and analogue tape loops, his aim is to hop between Duke Ellington and King Tubby, opening up a new musical cosmos and consensus in the process. This is something he achieved with his albums DUB THE WORLD, DUB TRAIN, ELEVATOR DUBS – and it’s a feat he has effortlessly and emphatically repeated on the new album, THE NAME OF THE DUB. As with his previous releases, the decisive characteristic of the new album is the breathtaking international class and quality of the fundamental tracks, which is studded contributions from French Dub Inc. or Splendid from the Netherlands, or House Of Riddim or Horace Andy or Eek-A-Mouse or, or, or…!!! The album features a high carat line-up and not only scores points for providing an extra helping of bass, but also flirts with pop, danceability ... and format art. 

The new album THE NAME OF THE DUB, which is released on Echo Beach, showcases UMBERTO ECHO as a sound manipulator, sitting cross-legged on a bass speaker, a man who operates the mixing desk, software and outboards with just as musical virtuosity as he plays keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. While Umberto Eco tries to explain the world in his novels, monographs and essays, there is only one true language for Umberto Echo: to dub the world. KILLA – this is how contemporary pop music should sound: not for hipsters - but exclusively for those who have always been hip.

Dubmatix feat. Eek - A-Mouse - Pull Up Selector (Umberto Echo Remix)

Originally recorded in 2007.  This was the mix that forced me to buy Torq. I remember fiending for "Everything I am" after hearing Graduation and wanting to get that song on my turntables desperately. When the people at Fat Beats told me that the Graduation album wasn't going to be released on vinyl, something had to give. A few days later I was a Torq owner and working on this mix. I still buy vinyl, but not nearly as much as I once did (which is good for my wallet but bad for the record stores)
