2econd Class Citizen – The Small Minority DJ Food Megamix
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).

Lyrics:
güneşim ayım sana ışık olsun
sıcak kumum yoluna açık olsun
okşarım tenini rüzgarlarımla
susuz kaldı sularım dudaklarına
ah o gözlerin
arasın beni izlesin peşime düşsün
ah o dudakların
gelsin bulsun tatsin ve öpsün beni
al bulutlarım sana yatak olsun
yumuşacık sessizce üstünü örtsün
ateşim aşkına kıvılcım olsun
sonsuz yansın yüreğinde hayata doysun
güneşim ayım sana ışık olsun
sıcak kumum yoluna açık olsun
okşarım tenini rüzgarlarımla
susuz kaldı sularım dudaklarına
ah o gözlerin
arasın beni izlesin peşime düşsün
ah o dudakların
gelsin bulsun tatsin ve öpsün beni
al bulutlarım sana yatak olsun
yumuşacık sessizce üstünü örtsün
ateşim aşkına kıvılcım olsun
sonsuz yansın yüreğinde hayata doysun

Anyway, we hope you enjoy this new podcast with some dirty and grimey as well as some more mellow beats. There is some instrumental hip-hop, some dubstep, some glitch in there, and even some crunk! Furthermore, this mix is the first one that features the dope new Random Seed introduction beat by our main man Phonatic who already provided us with great remixes for Ceschi and 2econd Class Citizen as well as his amazing Equinox Megamix in 2010.

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!
