Echocord welcomes the return of Mathimidori to the imprint with his Anata EP, accompanied by a remix from New Yorker and Novel Sound boss Levon Vincent. Mathimidori is the dub techno leaning guise of Germany’s Mathias Kaden, known for his works under his own name on imprints such as REKIDS, Ovum, and Freude Am Tanzen, while Mathimidori material has found a home on the likes of Mule Musiq, Raum, Ornaments, and of course, Echocord where he returns here following 2020’s Akebono LP (ECHO 086LP). Opening the release is “Anata”, a texturally dense six-and-a-half-minute composition fusing pulsating subs, billowing synth atmospherics, spiraling dub echoes and sporadic dubbed out spoken word running atop a crisp 4/4 rhythm. “Zanziba” follows and dives deeper via ethereal pads, snaking low-end pulsations, choppy stab sequences and heavily echoing reggae chants. Levon Vincent steps up to remix “Zanziba” next, delivering a typically raw and dynamic rework, upping the energy levels as dub stabs dynamically unfold and retract amongst a thunderous low-end drive, intricate synth flutters and low-slung drums across its ten-minute duration.
