Echo Expansion


"In September 2007 dublab launched the Echo Expansion tour. For two weeks the tour traveled through Europe sharing future roots music with excited ears. To commemorate this experience an extremely limited edition twelve inch featuring new songs from eight of the artists on tour was released; including tracks by Flying Lotus, Dntel and Blank Blue. This vinyl only release sold out in a flash, so after returning home it was decided to continue expanding. Eight new tunes have been added from artists who embarked on the Echo Expansion tour or supported it from the home front and now Porter Records is releasing the compilation on limited edition CD and LP. Put this album on and experience a vibrant music collective expanding through echoes." - dublab


We recently got a promo copy of this in at the station (Porter Records) and it's very good - 16 tracks from the dublab faithful. I recommend the Flying Lotus, Ras G, Adventure Time, Daedalus, Dimlite, matthewdavid and really most everything else. Pre-order your copy at a whole bunch of sites - choose which distributor HERE.

EDIT:

Download/stream a track from the comp, Hashim B's "Tokyo to LA Steez," HERE (via NPIP).
