Dub Techno - Staff Picks

Rod Modell & Stephen Hitchell are undoubtedly two of the masters of dub techno. Since surfacing in the 90's, Detroit-native Modell and Chicago-born Hitchell have dedicated their musical careers to creating atmospheric sounds that work for both the mind and the feet. Whilst best known for their work together as Echospace or cv313, the two producers have also released under a number of aliases. 

To celebrate a pair of true underground greats, here's some of the best records they've released under the various aliases and collaborations.

Featuring music like Aux 88, Convextion, Helena Hauff, DJ Stingray, Drexciya, and The Exaltics.

Electro - Staff Picks

What does Ghostly sound like "Genre-less" was a term thrown around in the early days and that idea still holds true. Ghostly's music - as with all of its artistic pursuits - straddles stylistic divisions, carving out space where sounds and ideas can cavort without inhibition or category. The label itself is twofold. Ghostly International's output follows a wayward path: nominally, music of electronic means, experimental methods, and pop methodology, but encompassing much more. Sibling label Spectral Sound centers on the Midwestern American Dance Sound: house, techno, electro, and related music.

Ghostly x Spectral

There aren't too many artists who have had as much influence on electronic music as Larry Heard. From the deep, soulful sounds of his work under his own name, through to his presence in the first house supergroup, Fingers Inc, Heard added a musicality to house that hadn't been seen before.
