EKKO + SIDETRACK
Australian brothers Jeff and Jonathan Hansen, otherwise known as Ekko & Sidetrack, have been turning heads around the world since their 2018 signing to Viper Recordings.
With tracks such as âExotic Roboticsâ and âBlack Stoneâ hurting dance floors everywhere and songs âLet the light inâ and âLong Summerâ (Both featuring the breathtaking vocals of Reija Lee) causing episodes of explosive euphoria throughout the land âthe brothers have secured a global fanbase of both punters and high-profile artists alike. Their music has had support from Noisia, Pendulum, Fox Stevenson, Dimension, Metrik, Matrix and Futurebound, Shockone and many more.
In 2018 they played their debut shows in Europe, including Let It Roll and Liquicity festival and finished the year remixing fellow Australian Shockoneâs tune âUnderlovedâ.
In 2019 as well as remixing âWe Let âEm Goâ by Dan Dakota for the Liquicity remix album Ekko & Sidetrack released their new single âSynchroniseâ featuring the vocals of Tom Cane which gained exposure on UKF and was supported by Mistajam & Rene Lavice on the BBC. In August their collaboration with Shockone âKlaxonâ was released on his âA Dark Machineâ album. The new decade kicks off with Jonathan moving to the UK, so Ekko & Sidetrack will now have an international presence while Jeff holds down Australia and New Zealand.
This year they have released a VIP of their tune âLet the Light Inâ, bootlegged Flume which the artist heard and allowed to go up on Youtube where it has amassed over 250k views in a short time. The pair are about to drop their next single on Viper Recordings, âPaper Birdsâ featuring the amazing vocals of Ruth Royall and have some other exciting collaborations in the works so keep an ear out as they gear up for a big second half to 2020.
