**Roderick Julian Modell** (commonly goes by Rod Modell) is an American [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music) producer, [DJ](/source/Disc_jockey) and [musician](/source/Musician) from [Port Huron, Michigan](/source/Port_Huron,_Michigan), known professionally as **Deepchord** (pronunciation: [diːpkɔːrd]; sometimes stylized as **DeepChord**).

Modell was born on July 22, 1969, in [Detroit](/source/Detroit), Michigan.[1] He worked with Mike Schommer to produce music under the Deepchord [moniker](/source/Nickname) as well as co-founded an eponymous [record label](/source/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](/source/Minimal_techno) Berlin sound of artists like [Basic Channel](/source/Basic_Channel) and the [techno tradition of Detroit](/source/Detroit_techno).[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](/source/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]
