'reverberating sound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of dance music lacking tone oddly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'music' could be 'e' and 'e' is present in the answer.
'tone' could be 'c' and 'c' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "one catches on the rebound?" , "Sound returning some moments later" , "Resound; (radar) return" , "Audio effect" , "Repetition of sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
