Echologist


Subterranean is a deeply narcotic listening experience. Subtly evolving atmospheres, hypnotic sub-basslines, reverb-soaked drones and lush vibrating textures abound.

Machine Love - Brendon Moeller Featured by Resident Advisor

Aug 15th 2011
Resident Advisor has featured Brendon Moeller's production methods and hardware in their most recent Machine Love article, along with the production of his album "Subterranean". 

Daniel Petry writes, "This sense of going with the flow—of taking paths as and when they crop up—is reflected in his music. His billowing dub techno builds and morphs organically, rather than following rigid sequences. It's not a coincidence that his studio and production methods have developed like this too."

Brendon Moeller, as Echologist, released Subterranean earlier this year on Steadfast Records.

"Subterranean" reviewed on Insomnia FM

Jun 10th 2011
Modern dub techno has become techno's adult contemporary, taking a pleasant and once experimental sound into the doldrums of repetitive formula. Brendon Moeller has long fought against this homogenization (armed with more aliases than a fugitive on the lam), and usually sets aside his Echologist moniker for his most conventionally techno material. His recently launched Steadfast imprint has had no shortage of Echologist releases, ranging from the powerful tech house of "Giant" to the plundering dub techno of "Slow Burn" or the flowing ribbons of "Just a Ride." This flurry of activity culminates in a second artist album under the alias.

Echologist "Subterranean" Receives 4 out of 5 by Resident Advisor

May 6th 2011
Echologist's latest album Subterranean has just won praise in its review by Resident Advisor.  Andrew Ryce writes, "Perhaps most impressive of all is how Moeller relocates the true essence of techno, finding energy in billowing textures rather than a kick drum or hi-hat pattern. It may be beatless, but Subterranean is a techno album, avoiding the pitfalls of the classifications "ambient" and "dub techno" while sitting comfortably in both."

Brendon Moller o lo que es lo mismo Echologist y Beat Pharmacy es una de las apuestas del dub techno europeo que más fuerza lleva tomando en los últimos tiempos, gracias a sus trabajos para sellos de la crew mundial como es Ostgut Ton, Rekids, Mule, Electric Deluxe o Deep Space Media.  Su perspectiva del dub techno ha tenido una repercusión mediática muy importante y hahora se lanza a un trabajo en formato autor y de larga duración.

Echologist review on Technodisco.

Apr 26th 2011
Dal 2005 Brendon Moeller proietta su Echologist il suo ego compositivo legato ad un flusso sonoro concepito in modo simile a quello di una soundtrack ma vissuto attraverso un istinto più denso, emozionale e distaccato dalla realtà. Un gran senso di pathos permea integralmente il suo secondo album, a sei anni da “Explorations Vol. 1″, mosaico di drones che fungono da piedistallo per una cascata di onde sognanti.
