Wah Wah 45s are proud to present What We Have, the debut single from London based collective Land of
Echo - a heavy weight slab of uptempo contemporary disco, aimed squarely at the dancefloor and drawing
influences from early 80s NYC no-wave and even post-punk. This uplifting introduction to the exciting new
project features a super size chorus from Sheffield legend Kathy Diamond on top of a swirl of Salsoul style
strings from violinist Lucy Wilkins, whilst producer Rob Mac drops all the bass, beats and squelchy synths
required to make this one bounce.
Rob is at the heart of Land of Echo. A well respected producer and longtime figure in UK underground
music, his diverse musical history varies from running the legendary Scratch hip-hop nights in the ’90s to
releasing under aliases like Speeka (on Wah Wah 45s), Gum Drop, An Explore, and Jumbonics. Rob returns
here to the soulful edges of dance music - armed with vintage gear, fresh vision, and a deep connection to
his collaborators.
Lucy Wilkins is a violinist and synth explorer who’s known for her work with Massive Attack, Radiohead and
Roxy Music. She is Rob’s most consistent creative partner. Her contribution is both foundational and
exploratory.
Kathy Diamond brings soul pedigree and bold, unmistakable songwriting. She’s collaborated with Maurice
Fulton and been remixed by Morgan Geist, Hercules & Love Affair, and many more.
The full Land Of Echo album Almost Music will be released 15th August 2025 on Wah Wah 45s.
