Echo Babylon – Half Man Half That [Soundteller Records]

Echo Babylon steps up for the biggest release of their career with a brand new single on Deersky’s Soundteller Records this week. Hailing from the UK, Kim Lagusz and Laurie Judd make up the Echo Babylon duo. First appearing in August of 2016 the partnership blossomed over the next year with releases on Capital Heaven, Massive Harmony and Plethora Muzik. Now making their much anticipated Soundteller debut Echo Babylon present their latest single ‘Half Man Half That’ alongside remixes from Ampish and Monojoke.

Known for their timeless take on progressive music Echo Babylon continues to follow that ethos here with a spacey yet highly emotive creation. It’s well sculpted groove chugs along at a wonderful pace, full of great swing and cadence before breaking down into a centrepiece of astral electronics and acid lines. A brief but hugely effective vocal motif breaks the silence setting up a classy drop and ultimately wicked finale. Have to admit I had not heard of Echo Babylon before but they are an act that should be on every progressive music fans radar.

The first interpretation is provided by Ampish who is fresh off a collaborative EP with Tone Depth on Tim Penner’s Slideway Music. The Egyptian artist beefs up the framework considerably for a tough, commanding feel. The spacey, scenic qualities of the original are not lost however as the mild acid lines and dulcet tones are well conveyed. Perfect for today's modern progressive dance floor it’s energetic scope sounds tailor made for Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren so expect to be hearing this one a lot in the coming months.

The release concludes with Soundteller label artist Monojoke also providing a stellar rendition. The astral qualities and atmospheric storyboard of the original are ideal for him to work with and it’s turned out beautifully. The Polish artist’s effervescent design has become unmistakable as he presents the main themes in his own cosmic collage of rugged grooves and wispy effects. A brilliant remix to cap off another exciting release on Soundteller who continue to discover some of the progressive scenes freshest new talent.
