Biography

Auckland based trio Echo Company, aka Static, Levitate and Beman, migrated north from their home town of Wellington in 2008. All have roots in the New Zealand Drum and Bass scene and have been Djing separately, clocking up flight points around the country, for over 3 years. In that time they have supported numerous International acts including Logistics, TC, Jakes, Futurebound, DC Breaks, Utah Jazz and Brookes Brothers as well as well known locals The Upbeats, Agent Alvin, Truth, Optimus Grime and Antiform. Static also placed 2nd 2 years running in the national Drum and Bass djing competition “Rumble in the Jungle” New Zealand’s long running premiere Djing competition.

2009 saw a switch to the more wobbly side of things when the trio started getting heavily into Dubstep, This sparked many late nights spent in the studio trying to rewire Drum and Bass brains to 138bpm and even more noise complaints from the flat upstairs.

Aiming towards the darker side of the spectrum Echo Company’s sub heavy production has always been about having a bit of a laugh, with nothing taken too seriously. This can be heard in their creative sampling, as anything from a steel fan to a toilet plunger feature in their tracks.
