Yeah, 2009 was an excellent year for dub techno.

Oh yeah. 09 was also the year I really got into all things basic channel / chain reaction / etc. Obviously many of those releases are legendary but I'm amazed at the quality (and quantity) of stuff still coming out from echospace...

This RA mix Intrusion did was pretty fucking dope too:

And I definitely need to check out that variant album immediately

While you mention the huge amount of music that Stephen Hitchell released this year, he said in an interview from last July that a second Echospace album was supposed to come out by Fall 2009, as well for cv313's first studio album. His collaboration with Rod Modell in The Coldest Season was totally extraordinary, and I would love to hear more from them as a team (other than their dozens of cv313 reductions/reshapes/live mixes).

By the way, I have been thinking about it: do we need a dub techno thread?

my favorite one that I can think of is probably shackleton - three eps, but I'm bad at remembering when music was released.
