- Mosaics, a split 12-inch, is described as Echovolt's "lost and found release." It uses a catalogue number, EVR010, that has been vacant for four years. It maintains Echovolt's international feel, offering a glance at both the Athens label's past and its future. It opens with Terekke's previously unreleased "Sun Salutation Mix" of "Omnii" by Bridge & Tunnel Kids. In trademark Terekke fashion, he peels away much of the boom from Jorge Velez's original and enhances the track's drowsy qualities. (It's difficult to predict when we'll see new Terekke material, so archival cuts like this are some consolation.)
Two artists appear under aliases, with little clue as to their identity beyond the locations offered by Echovolt. Sydney's Indreamz provides a self-titled production of soporific new age beatdown, followed by a track from Old Man Talkin', "an old friend of the label." "Magnetic Eyes," an EP highlight, is a loose house number that throws down some subtle Busta Rhymes samples. It could be mistaken for an old Wild Oats B-side pitched down a few notches.
Echovolt associate Tlim Shug makes more explicit hip-hop moves on his slack-jawed instrumental offering. "Memoir For Your Dream" is another drowsy cut that stylistically might seem out of step on a label that's largely focused on warm deep house. But this is one of those 12-inches that hooks DJs in through one or two tracks—the sprightly house contributions by Hugo Gerani and Shea—then reveals its versatility with time.
