Umberto Echo is a Munich-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has worked as a sound engineer for Jahcoustix, Jamaram, Headcornerstone, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill, and Dub Inc, and has produced international reggae vocalists and deejays such as Alborosie, Junior Kelly, Luciano, and Lutan Fyah, as well as remixing a host of artists, including Gentleman, Seeed, Steel Pulse, Sly & Robbie, Damian Marley, and Stereo MCs.
Nestling between digital echo chambers and analog tape loops, his aim is to hop between Duke Ellington and King Tubby, opening up a new musical cosmos and consensus in the process. This is something he has achieved with his albums Dub the World (2010), Dubtrain (2007), and Elevator Dubs (2013), and it's a feat he has effortlessly and emphatically repeated on The Name of the Dub.
As with his previous releases, the decisive characteristic of this album is the breathtaking international class and quality of the fundamental tracks. While Umberto Eco is renowned for his novels, monographs, and essays, there is only one true language for Umberto Echo: to dub the world. This is how contemporary pop music should sound; not for hipsters, but exclusively for those who have always been hip.
