Wah Wah 45s are proud to present Lean Into Your Own Breath, the second single from London based
collective Land of Echo, featuring Japanese vocalist Ayana Homma. Hailing from Tokyo, but raised in both
Japan and Singapore, trained in jazz in California, and now embedded in London’s music scene via the
Jazzy Sport collective, Ayana also lends her voice to the Tokyo Riddim Band and Sound Anthropology,
delivering fearless and expressive performances in both Japanese and English.

From the opening motif on the ragged vintage Wurlitzer 200 electric piano, to the silky string arrangement,
vocalist Ayana Homma drives this bouncy groove with her jazz phrasing and infectious call and response
chorus. Producer Rob Mac keeps the beat’s momentum up with plenty of percussion and bass; Lucy
Wilkins takes care of a graceful violin on top; and watch out for those squelchy bass additions from young
Angus Mac!

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.

The full Land Of Echo album Almost Music will be released 15th August 2025 on Wah Wah 45s.
