“EQX Records – A Retrospective”, by David Vangel:
http://www.vangelmusic.com/2013/08/31/eqx-records-a-retrospective/
——————————————————————————————————————————–
Selected Quotes:
“So it is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to equinox records. Im immensly proud of mr Stoppel for achieving so much in the brief time eqx was here and in the face of adversity and ongoing politics in the music industry.” (2econd Class Citizen)
“After 10 years of music, 50 releases from artists worldwide, Berlin’s legendary organic/electronic label: Equinox Records, closes their doors. …It’s truly sad for me to be sharing this news, but I am also extremely proud to have been a part of the EQX family.” (David Vangel)

David Vangel – I Heard You Sing Video Out Now!
Today we proudly present the second video for the “Counter Future – A Sound Exposure Vol. 3” compilation! Many thanks to Rahoul Mitsa for shooting and editing. The track, “I Heard You Sing” by Canadian beatmaker David Vangel is a very beautiful, yet quite unusual one. With the sampled Gregorian chorals it bears a very unique “baroque” feel, which mixes so well with Vangel’s trademark drum sounds and production. We hope you like it as much as we do!

David Vangel – Split Visionary – Official Video
Today, we are proud to present you the amazing new video of David Vangel’s “Split Visionary”, directed by Henry Mak & Sean Dunnigan!
Following Sandpaper Script, Split Visionary is the second video of David Vangel’s “Bradth Control” album which was released about a year ago on Equinox Records.
Enjoy & share with your friends!
——————————————————————————————————————————–
——————————————————————————————————————————–
Also,
To celebrate the airing of this video, we came up with a special offer which will be valid until Sunday, April 29th and only on our e-shop, and it goes like this:
If you purchase the Vinyl or CD version (or both) of David Vangel’s “Breadth Control” album, shipping costs will NOT apply! Yes, so that’s FREE Worldwide Shipping!
To benefit from this offer, follow the link bellow to go directly to our e-shop:
http://www.e-q-x.net/shop/david-vangel/
——————————————————————————————————————————–
About the album…
“Breadth Control“, the debut full length from David Vangel (formerly Vangel), is a mind altering affair loaded with emotive melodies, explosive dynamics, and savage gauntlets of fierce drum programming. Raising the bar, the 13-track collection is a fusion of sampling and live instrumentation, including elements of hiphop, jazz, indie rock, electronic, gentle psychedelia, and even world music. The journey of “Breadth Control” is intense; moving listeners with orchestral string arrangements and an overall cinematic quality that creates abstract visions ranging from optimism to melancholy.
On a thematic level, “Breadth Control” is an exploration of the scope of human thinking while it is engaged in sound and music. A musical experience that is the intermingling of genres, the debut LP is the future of electronic music from the brain of one of Canada’s most prominent sound pioneers.
For more info and shop links, please visit the official release page here: http://www.e-q-x.net/releases/david-vangel-breadth-control/

Also, be sure to watch Vangel‘s Sandpaper Script as well as the Breadth Control Preview video on YouTube.
