The breakout producer continues his rise with a vocal-driven, club-ready record paying homage to a cult classic.

Following a string of acclaimed releases and a standout appearance at the early-summer Maccabi House showcase, breakout producer Broken Hill returns with ‘Lovin’ You’ – a radiant new single that blends rock nostalgia with sleek indie dance energy. Out June 20th via the LA-based Funkshway imprint, the release marks a new creative era for Broken Hill as he deepens his signature sound while exploring a more heartfelt and vocal-led direction.

Driven by a sentimental vocal hook, ‘Lovin’ You’ taps into the golden era of ‘70s rock music, blended with Broken Hill’s punchy, signature production style. Like much of his catalog, the technically-minded producer leans on retro-inspired analog synths and a deep knowledge of the indie dance space to craft a record that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. The result is a nostalgic yet club-ready anthem– one that’s built to resonate on dancefloors all summer long.

On the track, Broken Hill shares: “Lovin’ You holds a special place in my heart. There’s something about the nostalgic atmosphere and the message behind the lyrics that really hits home. This track feels like a bit of a turning point in my sound. Blending a throwback vocal topline with a fresh, driving indie dance groove. It’s that contrast of old and new that makes it feel timeless to me. I poured a lot of love into this one, and I hope it resonates with you the same way it does with me.”

Known for his genre-defying sets and cinematic soundscapes, Broken Hill has rapidly become one of dance music’s most compelling new voices in the last year alone. Drawing inspiration from his roots in the remote Australian outback and his professional background as a producer and engineer, his music blends raw emotion with technical mastery. His productions have earned support from global tastemakers like Solomun, Innellea, Adam Ten, and Super Flu– with the majority of his releases becoming regular fixtures on Beatport’s Top 20 Indie Dance Chart.

With his latest offering on Funkshway, Broken Hill adds another alluring dance record to his Rolodex of indie dance-driven hits. Already garnering early support from the likes of David Guetta, Chris Lake, Pete Tong, Tom & Collins, and more, ‘Lovin’ You’ gives fans and new listeners a glimpse into the next chapter for the young producer– one that is rooted in feeling, movement, and a deep love for the dancefloor.

Andy’s Echo produces and performs electronic music with live guitar, vocals and synths. The multi-instrumentalist, singer and live act cultivates a unique sound that combines high energy electronic beats, meshing guitar licks, songwriting, dreamy vocals and trippy sound design. This amounts to genre-bending and exceptionally danceable music, ranging from technoid to melancholic with a psychedelic feel.

Great to talk to you Andy. How are things with you?

Thank you for having me! I’m eagerly awaiting the festival season.

What can you tell our readers over here about your musical journey?

I started singing, playing the guitar and writing songs when I was 15. Me and three friends started a band, so we learned to write and arrange music in rehearsals.

A few years later I went to my first rave in Frankfurt at U60311 and got interested in electronic music and rave culture. I began producing music and tried to combine what I did in bands with club music. I enjoy the process of exploring the areas between genres and electronic music is the perfect playground for that because it’s in a way very free and ‘fluid’.

You’re a wizard both on stage and in the studio. Would you say you are more comfortable as a live act or as a producer? Or do they both go hand in hand?

Thanks for the compliment! They go hand in hand and I enjoy both roles. But producing often also is a lot of work and I sometimes get angry with my self when I am uninspired and repeating myself. But it is extremely satisfying when you manage to translate a feeling you had into music.

And playing live is like the next step of that process. When you play your own songs on stage and see how the music you created out of an emotion translates back into feelings in your crowd – that is extremely rewarding.
And the free drinks are pretty neat, too.

Is it important to you to keep evolving as an artist?

Absolutely. I don’t like to repeat myself too often. But I sometimes struggled with that during the pandemic. When the amount of new experiences you make is dramatically reduced because the cultural and social life is cut back by lockdowns and restrictions – how do you stay inspired? But yes, I hope that I’ll keep evolving. I already have some ideas to collaborate with visual artists and would like to perform my music with a band in the future.

Can you name some of the artists that have inspired the music that you make today?

Mostly electronic live acts like Weval, WhoMadeWho and Monolink but also bands like Roosevelt, Sylvan Esso and Tame Impala. And I think I am eternally influenced by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and such artists because that’s what I listened to endlessly when I started playing the guitar.

You’re about to drop your next release on Katermukke – Fire EP. The title track is super fresh and so is the remix by Dirty Doering! How did this cut come to life?

‘Fire’ is about feeling like you are bursting with energy. That’s an emotional state I was thirsting for a lot during the pandemic. But I rarely felt it because the reduction of social and cultural life often left me dispirited, bored, annoyed and depressed.

As kind of an act of defiance, I wanted to produce a song that feels very energetic expresses how it feels to be very alive.

What can we hope to see from Andy’s Echo in 2022?

Apart from the release on Katermukke, I will put out EPs on Stil vor Talent and 3000º Records. I will be on tour with the 3000º crew, play lots of gigs and also return to South Africa for which I am extremely thrilled.

Tom Sanders and the Ligeti Quartet have joined forces for a new collaborative EP, ‘Tom Sanders Sings With The Ligeti Quartet’, out 18th June on Moshi Moshi Records.

The EP sees the London-based four-piece reinterpret four tracks from Only Magic, Sanders’ acclaimed 2020 debut solo album. Things open with a majestic, grandiose version of ‘Baby All You’ve Got’, Sanders’ most recent single which quickly sets the tone. Next up is the quaint ‘Most Of The Time’, with this version accentuating the emotion and bursts of positivity that characterised the original, and ‘Distant Light’, which pairs Sanders’ hushed vocals with delicate instrumentation. Closing things out, ‘Lonesome High’ allows his brisk vocals to take centre stage amidst sparse strings. The B-side of the record is then made up of instrumental versions of the same four tracks.

“When the idea of this project was first floated, I was curious as to whether or not we’d be able to pull it off,” Sanders recalls. “I went back to listen to the songs and to see which ones might lend themselves well to a string quartet arrangement. Thankfully, many of the tracks were already quite simply arranged; I’d spent a long time simplifying the production and removing elements. I was introduced to Richard Jones from the Ligeti Quartet and we chatted a lot on the phone about how to go about which songs to choose and how the arrangements would work.

Richard Jones from the Ligeti Quartet adds: “I’ve been a fan of Teleman for years – I remember hearing their song Cristina when it first came out and it stayed with me for weeks. I kept needing to put it on for another listen.  Like a lot of their songs, it seems to get a really big impact out of small changes to the arrangement.  When I heard some songs from Tom’s album on the radio last year, I recognised the same thing – big songs through very economical means and detail.  When Stephen from Moshi Moshi suggested making an EP of string arrangements, I could immediately imagine how that would work: you wouldn’t need to take away very much in order to put the instrumentation into the four voices of the string quartet.”

Sanders’ solo work follows more than a decade fronting bands, most notably London indie outfit Teleman. The group released three seminal albums, drawing support from the likes of The Guardian and Drowned In Sound, also touring in support of Suede, Metronomy, Maxïmo Park, Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand and performing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Green Man, End of the Road and Les Inrocks.

The ​Ligeti ​Quartet ​have ​been ​at ​the ​forefront ​of ​modern ​and ​contemporary ​music since ​their ​formation ​in ​2010. ​They ​have ​established ​a ​reputation ​as ​one ​of ​the ​UK’s leading ​ensembles, ​breaking ​new ​ground ​and playing at landmark venues including Carnegie Hall, Curtis Institute, Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Barbican Hall and Kings Place.

This unique creative concept captures the true essence of musical collaboration.
