Echaskech: Future Sex E.P Review

by Lauren John. Published July 5, 2009.

Record label Just Music says on its website that “Seeing Echaskech (a.k.a. Dom Hoare and Andy Gilham) live, will re-define your expectations of what an electronic act can achieve in a performance.” Now I’m not at a live performance, I’m listening to their Future Sex E.P, so the question is, will an Echaskech recording have anything like the effect of a live performance, complete with video, real time mixing, and sequencing. Well that’s a bit unlikely, but ‘Future Sex’ does serve as a good illustration of what Echaskech are all about. These guys have previously worked as a Drum n Bass act, and DJ’s, and sight a range of influences which include Kraftwerk, Beastie Boys and Jungle Brothers. I can hear evidence of all this throughout the song and its accompanying remixes. The pulsing beat and electro/funk rhythms are there, and some quirky sound/vocal effects, but it lacks something. Something that would have me on the dance floor, hitting the replay button, or clicking ‘buy’ on a download site. A few interesting ideas, but the overall result, for me anyway, just isn’t as strong as some of their contemporaries.
