Ekkohaus

Unsound Ekkohaus

One year after his first EP on Cargo Edition, Kostas Tassopouls aka Ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. The native-born Greek, now living in Berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. The combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of Ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this EP. “Unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. A repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. The track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “Moon Talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. At the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. With this EP, Ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.
