Roderick Julian Modell (commonly goes by Rod Modell) is an American electronic music producer, DJ and musician from Port Huron, Michigan, known professionally as Deepchord (pronunciation: [diːpkɔːrd]; sometimes stylized as DeepChord).
Modell was born on July 22, 1969, in Detroit, Michigan.[1] He worked with Mike Schommer to produce music under the Deepchord moniker as well as co-founded an eponymous record label in Detroit during the mid-1990s. However, currently the project name of Deepchord represents only Modell, who is using a number of aliases besides. The musical style of Deepchord is similar to both the minimal Berlin sound of artists like Basic Channel and the techno tradition of Detroit.[2]
Modell is well known for his collaboration with Stephen Hitchell (Soultek) as Echospace or cv313. In 2007, they released the album The Coldest Season on the record label Modern Love.[3] Modell has also performed live with Hitchell as Echospace.[4]
Modell has also collaborated with fellow Detroit native Mike Huckaby.[5]
