David Vangel – Breadth Control Album Out Soon
Today, we would like to announce the upcoming debut album by David Vangel (formerly just Vangel) on Equinox Records called “Breadth Control”. The album is a really beautiful collection of 13 tracks and will be available in Vinyl, CD, & Digital formats on May 20th.
Expect some really well produced, mainly sample-based, instrumental music, flavored with jazz vibes, hip hop aesthetics, and brushings of psychedelic vocals.
The album artwork, created by The Raincoatman, follows a simple and elegant black & white theme with extensive design.
Special design features include: white vinyl and a printed inlay for the LP release, and a custom digipak sleeve for the CD release.
At the end of the month, look out for the Video produced by Canadian production company: Pistoltrixx, for the first Single off the album.
Last but not least, we are happy to announce that there will be a pre-order deal for the album in cooperation with hhv.de that will include a free T-Shirt!
Preview Tracklisting and more info about the release will be posted here:

Ceschi & DJ Scientist “Shorted Circuits EP” Coming Soon!
Today, we would like to announce the first Equinox release in 2011: Ceschi & DJ Scientist’s “Shorted Circuits EP” is a very special 10″ picture disc that contains 2 new songs as well as remixes from “The One Man Band Broke Up” album. We are really happy with the tracks and can’t wait to receive the finished vinyls from the pressing plant.
The title track “Shorted Circuits” is a really personal tune – an ode to Ceschi’s grandmother who passed away on September 13th, 2010. It was written back in late 2007/ early 2008 and was supposed to come out on the next album. However, due to her passing we decided to release this earlier alongside the original version of “Black and White and Red All Over”. The acoustic guitar version of the song has already become a highly requested staple of Ceschi’s live performance and we are excited to let you hear the original which almost sounds completely different!
Then, “Half Mast” – another very personal track – got remixed by Vangel, 2econd Class Citizen and Phonatic which all provided stunning new versions. Furthermore, the title track from “The One Man Band Broke Up” got reworked by The Raincoatman to an uptempo alternative rock track…
So yeah – February 25th is the release date! Stay tuned!

Equinox presents – The 25th – Box Set Out Now!
Ohhhh yesssssss…. It’s time to celebrate the 25th release on Equinox Records! We are so happy to finally release this neat box set package that contains a 7inch, a custom USB stick and an audio cassette.
Buddy Peace & Phonatic provided us with two of the dopest megamixes possibly ever made! 2 x 25 minutes of action packed Equinox sound – cut up, edited, remixed. Whether you are familiar with the Equinox catalogue or not – you have to check this out!
Generous people as we all are, we want to share these mixes with you FOR FREE and also want to encourage you to SHARE THEM with your friends, to post them on your blog, or whatever. Please just copy the following link:
Buddy Peace Vs. Phonatic – The Equinox Megamixes
and/or link to the official release page:
http://www.e-q-x.net/releases/various-artists-equinox-presents-the-25th/
You can also post the links to our mixcloud or soundcloud accounts.
But thats that not all folks! Equinox Records wouldn’t be called Equinox Records if there wasn’t a dope piece of vinyl included in the package as well. Therefore, Part II of this gorgeous package is a bunch of unreleased remixes from the label archive. Amongst these are tunes from the never released remix EP that was planned for the 2008 release “One Year & A Day – A Sound Exposure Vol.2“. The A side of the vinyl contains Deadpan Darling’s “Laugh Track” remixed by Deckard. And on the flip, 2econd Class Citizen’s classic “Wishing Well” gets reworked by The Raincoatman and Vangel from Canada. Further tracks on the digital version include “A Year And A Day” by The Peddlers (with Roy Phillips), remixed by Twistedlogic & Pesticyde, “A New Day” by 2econd Class Citizen this time remixed by DJ Phonatic and a new version of Asup’s “Untitled” by lodsb. If you are not into buying nice looking boxsets you buy these tracks seperately on itunes and many other download stores:
Last but not least, as Part III of the box set, we are happy to release the 2007 tour video that features incredible unseen live footage by Ceschi, Noah23, The Dedicated Beatheads & 2econd Class Citizen. The 50 minute movie is definitely fun to watch and is available on the ultra limited 2 GB USB Stick that comes along with the first 50 copies of the box set. However, those who buy the cheaper normal package (without the USB) will receive a free download code for the whole video.
So yeah, that’s it folks. Hope we’ll soon be able to hit number 50!
