Rod Modell - Vibrasound (The Deepchord Years 1999-2004)

To those heads who couldn’t get enough of the Basic Channel sound and all its incarnations back in the late 90’s, Rod Modell’s Deep Chord imprint acted as a much needed source of additional deep dub shimmers, low-end trembles and minimal techno templates that typified the sound signatures formed somewhere in Berlin. Based in the States, Deep Chord often got regarded as a shameless emulation of the BC sound, although the benefit of hindsight has been much kinder, the sound measuring up healthily to the sizeable task of providing a hugely emotive slant on familiarly spacious dub variations. Since then Modell has provided some of the most tantalising and indispensible installments in the fabulous Echocord series, always insisting on keeping proceedings respectful to the bass and effervescent layers of sound. This much needed selection of highlights from the Deep Chord archives illustrates in incredibly lucid colours just how wonderfuly these tracks have matured, making for a heavenly collection of blissful dub techno minimalism that any followers of Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, Main Street, Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound will adore.
