Hairl Dub - Echo Chamber (2018)

After the success of ‘Echoman’ and ‘We Are Rebels’ on 4Weed Records, Italian producer Hairl Dub returns with a new powerful album: Echo Chamber. A release made up of 10 tracks mixed and produced in analogue, where powerful basses mixed with the warm lines of the analogue synths and the mystical melodica harmonies. The result is an album that seems to come directly from London in the early 2000s, a proper UK Dub style with the personal touch of Hairl Dub. ‘Echo Chamber’ comes from the deep bond between the Sicilian producer and the sea.
Under water we enter another world where colours are distorted, slow movements and touch are stressed, while the sounds travel fast and seem to come from everywhere; perception changes, as well as tempos and dynamics. Everything is comparable to the trance state that live dub on analogue mixer may create, a complete immersion in a different reality. The album concept is well-expressed in the video of Natural Steppa single which announces the album. The video includes images shot by Hairl Dub itself at a considerable depth under the sea, Alex Caroppi (I’ll Do Me) is the creative director, and Echo Chamber artwork has been curated by designer Mirella Gazzillo (Lamiracore) with a collage technique.
