Ooooooh yeah! Another beautiful release is out now on Equinox Records…
After the successful Ceschi album “The One Man Band Broke Up”, we are now happy to offer the gorgeous instrumentals of this release: DJ Scientist – The One Man Band Instrumentals. But don’t even think that these are “just instrumentals”! – The beautifully arranged and meticulously produced beats result in a new and one of a kind album that could possibly be one of the best organic sounding instrumental hip-hop releases this year!

Ceschi’s album “The One Man Band Broke Up”, entirely produced by DJ Scientist, was released in June 2010 and immediately became a success on the independent market. Many magazines and fans already designated it “album of the year”, Okayplayer called it “a significant piece of art”, giving it 89 of 100 points, while URB mag even stated it is „one of the best conceptual hip hop records to drop in the past decade“.
Aside from Ceschi’s incredible lyrical talent, many reviewers honorably mentioned the beautifully arranged and detailed production work backing the vocals, recognizing it as a major force behind the success of the album. On the instrumental version of “The One Man Band Broke Up”, that is now released as a beautiful limited vinyl picture disc on Equinox Records, one can hear how meticulously those songs have been put together and arranged, and how all tracks, alongside sundry interludes and vocal samples, result in a new and one of a kind album that is equally as entertaining, bright and powerful as any Blockhead or RJD2 release. With cinematic drums, a large variety of sounds and samples as well as chopped live instruments, main tracks like “Half Mast”, “No New York” and “Hangman” stand out with hard hitting beats while the more mellow and folky tunes like “Bad Jokes” or “Long Live The Short Lived” give the album the smooth melancholy bliss Scientist is known for.
Without even trying, “The One Man Band Instrumentals” by DJ Scientist could possibly be one of the best organic sounding instrumental hip hop releases this year.

Equinox Records presents:
The ‘Strange Citizens’ Tour
Featuring:
Ceschi (USA – Equinox Records / Fake Four)
2econd Class Citizen (London, UK – Equinox Records)
Buddy Peace (London, UK – Strange Famous Records)
October 6th – 16th 2010
Ladies, gentlemen and kinfolk, we would like to formally invite you to our three man show. Taking place over ten days in October 2010, we will be taking our music on the road to selected locations in Europe, to bring you our delightfully demented and deliciously powerful blend of beats and rhymes.
We bring you Ceschi, the one man band who is as comfortable freaking a solo set as he is working with any combination of his amazing group of friends (such as the Fake Four squadron, for example). Having toured and worked with Sole, Mykah 9 and Awol One (to name but a few), Ceschi displays the elements of rap which are always begging to be set free- uniqueness, creativity and pure originality. With a heavy hitting foundation of acoustic folk and abstract hip hop, expect a skilful and hugely entertaining presentation of what hip hop music can do when it is gently pushed in the right direction. His fantastic current album, ‘The One Man Band Broke Up’, is out now on Equinox Records and making much noise.
2econd Class Citizen is right up there riding shotgun (in a triple barrel sense), strapped with a punishing array of dusty drum breaks, sweet sample psychedelia and two very busy hands. With a wide sample-based repertoire which often extends into live instrumentation and areas far beyond conventional instrumental beat based music, 2CC’s live set incorporates heavy manipulation and extreme head nod potential, providing a vibrant and hefty showcase of bitter-sweet but straight up bumping productions. His work and stage time with Noah23, Ceschi, Nosaj thing, Ugly Duckling and even prog-rock legends Gong give some indication of the standards of dopeness you can expect from 2CC.
Buddy Peace is also in the building. Currently signed to Strange Famous Records, the label run by indie hip hop legend Sage Francis, Buddy has some treats to share with you. From a background of DJing and prolific mixtape production, he has been producing for a good while and has produced/scratched/DJ’d for Buck 65, Sage Francis, B Dolan, 2Mex and Prince Po to name a couple. The Buddy live show mushes together the DJ and production elements, with live MPC drums and programming with a very turntable mind-set, and you can surely expect some head-pounding and cheerfully savage drums, cuts and invention which bring out the creative and rugged side of hip hop music.
We would be honoured by your company. We will not disappoint you. We will be very happy to see you. The Strange Citizen tour will make October of 2010 a very wonderful month indeed. Let’s catch up…
