The second vinyl release on Equinox continues the "Welcome to the Neo Golden Age" series. On Side A, DJ Scientist sets the pace with "Anything About Nothing" - a disturbing mix of hard hitting organic drums and desperately screaming psychedelica samples. On the flip, a hypnotically moaning voice accompanied by a hauling downtempo drumbeat forces its way into the listeners ears on "Waiting For The Sun". The intruder goes by the name of Mnemotrauma who may be known for his releases on the avant-garde Subversiv Records.

"Same Old Love Song", the new single by Ceschi is an upbeat folk tinged hip hop piece which owes as much to OD's "Beneath The Surface" as it does to Too Short's "Freaky Tales". On this track, Ceschi has recruited LA Underground legends 2Mex and Awol One to join in on tackling the always relevant issue of women. On "Objects Are Falling" we hear him team up with Freestyle Fellowship founder, Myka 9 on an infectiously bouncy beat. With these tracks and additional remixes, the mostly instrumental, Equinox Records may have released one of the strongest hip hop singles to come out in years.

Digital: Includes additional instrumental versions.

Ceschi and DJ Scientist initially connected around 2005 over a mutual adoration of rare 60s/70s psychedelic, prog and folk rock as well as 90s hip hop. On their first record together, "The One Man Band Broke Up", both gentlemen evoke their influences creating a completely original sounding, melodic, dark and unabashedly progressive hip hop concept album. Based around the ever revisited topic of the rise and fall of a musician, in this case one named Julius and The Bearded Saviour, "The One Man Band Broke Up" is as much about Ceschi's own fear of failure as it is about personal experiences in a dog eat dog music industry. As Ceschi's voice moves from meticulous almost mathematical rhythms to aggressive nearly punk howling to scat like rhymes, Scientist layers epic montages of samples, dynamic drums, along with chopped live instruments to compliment the diversity of styles. Friends including Sole, Astronautalis, Radical Face (of Electric President), 2econd Class Citizen, Cars & Trains and Mic King also contribute instrumentation and vocals. The combined outcome is a post-modern hip hop project unlike anything else the two musicians have previously released.

Digipak release with lyrics inlay.

2011 brings us the "Shorted Circuits EP", a very special release from Ceschi & DJ Scientist that contains 2 new tracks as well as 4 remixes from the last album.

Lastly, the title track from "The One Man Band Broke Up" got reworked by The Raincoatman to a stunning alternative rock track.

This 7inch single is the first collaboration release by Ceschi and DJ Scientist. "Count On It" is a powerful hip hop anthem sparked by Scientist's epic string and drum arrangement. "Bad Jokes", is one of the key tracks making up Ceschi's semi-fictional story of a one-man-band who went by the name of "Julius and The Bearded Savior". Although "Bad Jokes" is the first story you will hear about "The One Man Band" - it is one of the last stories about his life that is featured on the upcoming album which is littered with references to this same story.

Vinyl: Includes download code for digital release. Last copies!!
Digital: Includes bonus Remix by Misanthrop and one instrumental.
