2econd Class Citizen – The Small Minority DJ Food Megamix

equinoxrecords — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:01:15 +0000

Today, we are really proud to announce a preview of 2econd Class Citizen‘s album in the form of a megamix from none other than Strictly Kev aka DJ Food of Ninja Tune Records. Taking ‘The Small Minority‘, cutting it down to size and fitting it into a 16 minute mix was no mean feat, but he managed to pull it off effortlessly and with the skill you have become accustom to if you have ever heard a DJ Food mix.
A keen supporter of 2econd Class Citizen and our label over the years. He’s always had the time to do a nice write up in his blog www.djfood.org and help us in any way he can. So without any further ado make sure you check this great 16 minute mix on Strictly Kev‘s soundcloud page or download it on our bandcamp page where you can additionally pre-order the album. The album will drop on May 25th and is distributed via Kudos (Worldwide) and Fake Four Inc. (USA, Japan).

Random News #3 (April 2012)

andreikelos — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:00:30 +0000

Here we are with our new issue of Random News for April 2012!

Lot’s been going on and we are all working brutally hard to get the best out of it, so we’ll be swift and on point! (Ok, consider this “brutally” part as a joke – we’re actually enjoying this!)

Let’s begin with some news for 2econd Class Citizen since there’s a lot going on due to the release of his outstanding “Outside Your Doorway EP” and the long-anticipated full length “The Small Minority” which will drop next month (!)…

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Outside Your Doorway EP news

About a week ago, we announced the release of the digital version for 2CC‘s new EP entitled “Outside Your Doorway” and we’re already getting some amazing feedback.

Here’s a small portion of what’s been said:

Trippin’ The Rift

Data Transmission
http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/ViewReview/3161/

Also note that “Outside Your Doorway” is now available on Last FM
http://www.lastfm.de/music/2econd+Class+Citizen/Outside+Your+Doorway+EP

Aside from that we have gained some really positive feedback from a bunch of like minded artists that really enjoyed the new album:

“Really lovely moments on here. Nice…”
Fink (Ninja Tune)

“Your Album sounds great, congratulations! I definitely want to check out your record collection as you obviously had some crazy stuff!”
DJ Format

“okay man, I gotta tell you: your album is fucking BEAUTIFUL. I’m in love with it already. So lush! I’m about 2/3 in but I just thought I’d ‘live text’ it! Incredible work brother.“
Buddy Peace

“I’m loving your album so much, the layers and subtleties in it are amazing. The pace is generally slow and the mood melancholy but it never feels morose or depressing, there’s a kind of beautiful sadness to it, and such gorgeous acoustic samples.”
DJ Food (Ninja Tune)

“Great work! Proper chilly out sample loveliness!”
Olli Teeba (Herbaliser, Ninja Tune)

Last (but not least), the main track of the EP is also featured on “Tape of The Month: April 2012” on “Παλιοτράκτερα” (ok, this may seem Greek to you but still on point)
paliotraktera.gr

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Additional 2econd Class Citizen news…

In the past Random News issue (#2 March 2012) we mentioned DJ Food’s new album “The Search Engine” in which 2CC is featured… Well, here’s an astonishing new single from this album, entitled “The Illectrik Hoax” which also features a remix by 2econd Class Citizen.

Find out more about it here:

Switching to DJ Scientist

First, we’d like to share an amazing remix that DJ Scientist did back in 2003 for the track “It Ain’t Nothing Like” by The Pharcyde. This remix also reveals the – unknown to most – funky side of the Equinox Records’ founder!

Listen, download and share.

Continuing, here is a really nice review on DEAD Magazine for the rare (even digitally) “The Artless Cuckoo EP”
http://www.deadmagazine.de/2012/04/07/dj-scientist-the-artless-cuckoo-ep/

For those who missed it, this was released in February as an ultra-limited vinyl and also limited-time digital release, as an announcement for DJ Scientist’s upcoming full length instrumental album. So be on the lookout!

Here’s the official “Artless Cuckoo” release page: http://www.e-q-x.net/releases/eqx034/

Random Seed Podcast Episode 5 by DJ Jesus Face

andreikelos — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:34:07 +0000

Yes! We’re back with our new Episode!

This time, we have a splendid mellow mix by DJ Jesus Face from Chicago, who has blessed as with a special blend of some classic, sampled based hip-hop tunes, alongside with some bleepy and glitchy tracks greatly put together, making this a perfect fit to the “Random Seed” philosophy and leads right up our alley!

A fine selection – a smooth journey that travels the listener’s mind into an abstract reality for a bit less than 50 minutes.

We hope you will dig this as much as we do… well… we’re pretty sure you will!

David Vangel – Split Visionary – Official Video

andreikelos — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:35:00 +0000

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 29^th 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.
