About Echo Base

Echo Base Production is a full service music production company based out of Ludlow, Vermont, launched in 2019 by songwriter, producer, mixing engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Nate Mondschein (aka Best Mann).

Across a decade-plus, Nate has worked alongside a diverse array of musical groups, from the indie dream-pop of Henry Hall to the throwback pop of Joey Baby, the Nashville songwriting of Effee, to the alternative-hip-hop of Josh The Word. He also writes and produces music as a part of the 2Many Cooks team, while continuing to create music as a solo artist under his Best Mann moniker.

With every Echo Base production, Nate brings a passion for emotive, emotionally authentic performance, a drive to create and manipulate compelling analog sounds in a modern context, an ear for creative yet catchy arrangements, an encyclopedic catalog of musical references to draw upon and incorporate in an innovative way, and an unending commitment to the pocket.

Nate and Echo Bases’ music and projects have been featured in a variety of publications, including The New Yorker, Afropunk, Okayplayer, The Deli Magazine, and many more. In October of 2019, Nate was awarded the Robert Allen Songwriting Award from the ASCAP foundation for his songwriting and production work with Camille Trust on their song “Shadoop.”
