Whetting the appetite for the imminent arrival of Echaskech?s debut album, Skechbook, comes the brooding menace of their new single Popstars.

This darkly humorous release features remixes from two of the UK?s most cutting edge dance acts: innovative beat merchants Subway (currently linked to Hot Chip and Prins Thomas), and Pete Tong favourites Insignificant Others, uncompromisingly taking the track to the dancefloor.

Echaskech steadily join the dots from Kraftwerk to Street Sounds, from Acid House to Techno, and have developed an unstoppable understanding of dance rhythms. The result is an effortlessly flowing electronic sound, which is showcased on the forthcoming album Skechbook. Popstars, the debut single, shows that Echaskech are starting in style as they mean to go on?

Fresh from their lauded Satellites EP, Subway step in with their driving mix of Popstars. Having been hailed in the dance press as the next big thing, their ?Krautrock meets Detroit? take on Echaskech is inescapably powerful.
Insignificant Others? high octane take on Popstars is a claustrophobic juggernaut. Garnering rave reviews across the board, iO have put their contemporary stamp all over Popstars.

Popstars is taken from the forthcoming album by Echaskech, Skechbook to be released on Just Music 04/06/07
