With Dom Hoare and Andy Gillham's influences including The Autobots, The Prodigy, Booka Shade, Aphex Twin, Arovane, Modeselektor and Vitalic it is not surprising that this electronic act are able to engage a crowd in almost any mood, they certainly have a lot of strings to their bow and as a result tend to win over crowds wherever they play.

Their debut album 'Skechbook' recieved media acclaim in Spring 2007, getting a whopping 5 out of 5 in IDJ magazine and immediately landing them a job scoring the film 'The Brink', completed late autumn 2007. They are now working on their second album for Just Music and lining up as many live dates for 2008 as they can.

Their early influences include Kraftwerk's "Tour de France" and Street Sounds Electro 1-3. Hip Hop was heavily courted via early influences such as Big Daddy Kane, Jungle Brothers and the Beastie Boys and more recently Dub Step and Grime sounds of the UK and Germany.

Before Echaskech, the duo had success as a Drum & Bass outfit touring clubs in the UK with the likes of Grooverider, Bukem and Storm. They even graced the DJ Drum & Bass charts with an early release! Then, shifting rhythms and ever improving technology led the boys to DJ at various underground parties around London. The party sound of choice was a combination of breaks, techno and electro and it's this influence that provided the backbone of the music they produced separately and played out.

Then late 2004 they plugged their machines together, jammed those with tracks to produce a new 'live' sound that has totally changed their approach to writing and producing making the sound that is now Echaskech. Excited by this they decided to take their new live approach and play a long string of performances on stage throughout 2005 but with the addition of one last live element; video. Enter Mach V.

Mach V (a.k.a Mark van der Vord), regular supplier of visuals for the likes of The Big Chill and SoxaN, provides a unique visual element to each Echaskech track from a variety of visual sources. As this collaboration has developed over a rigorous live schedule, so has the technical integration between Andy, Dom and Marks computer set up, resulting in a fully coordinated Audio Visual experience.
