Eccodek is the primary project of Canadian producer Andrew McPherson, a central figure in the global fusion and downtempo scenes since the early 2000s. Based in Guelph, Ontario, McPherson has built a reputation for a 'dubwise' approach to world music, characterized by heavy sub-bass, intricate percussion, and a sophisticated use of space and delay.
His work is notable for its collaborative nature, frequently featuring vocalists and instrumentalists from diverse cultural backgrounds, including South Asian, African, and Middle Eastern traditions. The project gained significant critical traction with the 2008 album 'Shivaboom', which earned a Juno nomination and solidified Eccodek's place alongside peers like Transglobal Underground and Adham Shaikh. McPherson's background as a producer for artists like Vieux Farka Touré informs the high-fidelity, layered quality of the music. Culturally, Eccodek represents a bridge between the chillout room and the global stage, emphasizing a respectful, deeply integrated form of cross-cultural dialogue through rhythm and texture.
