techniques berlin wurde 1984 von den schulfreunden andreas gregor und david rout gegründet und begann mit synthesizern, drumcomputern und gitarren zu experimentieren. in der anfangsphase war die band stark von den britischen new-romantic-bands the human league, visage, yazoo, omd und depeche mode sowie den aufstrebenden kanadischen synth-pop-bands rational youth, men without hats und trans-x beeinflusst. es dauerte ein paar jahre, bis sie ihre elektronischen spielzeuge beherrschten und eine einzigartige mischung aus süchtig machenden elektropop-melodien und wunderschön ausgearbeiteten alternativen beats kreierten.

the young nordic label is back at it with a sturdy 12” vinyl release, produced by the helsinki underground electronic music champion poly sone. the three tracker kicks off with an intro track titled “come find me” which combines stripped down rhythm patterns with a subtle choir pad. on top of the foundation, an entrancing spoken word verse works as the main ingredient throughout the track. as the needle pushes onwards to the title track “echolocate”, the listener is confronted with a robust wall of lowend, soon accompanied by rolling percussions and clever use of reverb and delay. the simple composition highlights its sterling production and makes for a highly useful dancefloor tool. the last track “helix” bundles up the record nicely as the most melodic one of the bunch. the agile synth stabs and dystopic pads operate on a surprisingly groovy soil of bass and drums which add up to a dreamy whole.
