Still Machine announce ‘Echoes of Echoes Within’, a remix collection built from 2025’s ‘Echoes Within’
Still Machine
Chicago post-punk trio Still Machine have announced the remix album “Echoes of Echoes Within,” due April 24, 2026 via Someoddpilot Records. The release is up for pre-order on Bandcamp in digital, limited cassette (100 copies), and limited CD digipak formats (100 copies). Out now already are three Distille remixes ahead of the full release.
The set reworks material from the band’s 2025 album “Echoes Within” through contributions from Distille, Salvo Beta, Martial Fields, TFNC, machwhat, Pylbug, Sanford Parker, and Still Machine themselves. In total you get reworks of 11 tracks, including Distille’s versions of “Trawling Tines,” “The Switch to 36,” and “Ama Nesciri,” alongside “Gaslit Ghosts,” a reworking of “Sympathetic Light.”
Ray Dybzinski says the idea was to ask electronic artists to reinterpret songs that were “mostly non-electronic” in their original form. He adds that the finished versions felt “familiar and surprising.”
The announcement of the remix collection comes with the group unveiling three tracks from midwest artist Distille reworking songs from Echoes Within. “The Echoes of Echoes Within remixes grew naturally out of a long-shared history with members of Still Machine,” says Distille. “I leaned heavily into electronic sound, synths, and deliberate studio tinkering […] My sound is rooted in rhythm and FM textures, always coming back to the low end.”
Distille is a Midwest artist whose work is rooted in rhythm and FM textures, combining electro and industrial elements with alt-pop.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
