Echostep CD Release Party Featuring DJs Mike Textbeak and Tim Smith
When: Fri., Feb. 17, 8 p.m. 2017
A veteran on the local electronic music scene, James Young, who performed with the local act Shadow Saints before forming his latest “adventure,” Echostep, self-released a new Echostep album earlier this year. The EP includes four original tracks and two remixes of the title track by Interface and Coldlink. The effectively eerie “Pictures in the Sky” features hushed vocals and pulsating synths, and the piano ballad “I’m Okay” has a subtle intensity to it. Expect to hear the tracks at tonight’s release party. (Niesel)
