Greetings to all “Random News” friends.
Here we are, on schedule (crazy), with our new issue for May. As you know, the long anticipated 2nd full length of 2econd Class Citizen, entitled “The Small Minority” is out since friday! Therefore, it is only natural that the weight of this issue falls on it…
So, here we go…
——————————————————————————————————————————–
The Small Minority *Reviewed*
——————————————————————————————————————————–
Although the official release date for this album was May 25th, we had already received a dozen (or two) of – at least impressive – feedback from the press, colleagues, artists and friends.
Here’s a selection of this feedback…

The Small Minority *DJ Food Megamix*
——————————————————————————————————————————–
The first preview of “The Small Minority” came almost a month ago, and – in our opinion – in the best from…
Our colleague and good friend, Strictly Kev a.k.a. DJ Food of Ninja Tunes Records who has always been a keen supporter of 2econd Class Citizen and of our Label, has made an amazing Megamix in which he has cut, edited and mixed the album tracks skillfully to fit 16 minutes, making this the perfect promotional tool for the album (thank you S.K.)
Here is the mix as posted on DJ Food’s website:
http://www.djfood.org/djfood/2econd-class-citizen-album-preview-megamix
Speaking of the 2CC / DJ Food collaboration…
If you haven’t yet heard, here’s a 2econd Class Citizen remix for DJ Food’s “The-Illectrik-Hoax” released in April on Ninja Tune:

Deckard *New Album announcement*
——————————————————————————————————————————–
No, you’re not mistaking, it is true… After releasing the “Andromeda EP”, his astonishing “For A Better Tomorrow” full length and a wonderful remix 7” for “Günesim”, all within 2012, Deckard announces another full length coming soon!
Here’s the first track entitled “A Black Hole Pt.1“ from the upcoming album which will bear the title “From The Vault”
http://soundcloud.com/dasdeckard/deckard-a-black-hole-pt-1
More news about this release soon…

Ok, that’s all for now…
But be on the lookout, because there’s a ton of new stuff coming soon!
Once more, we’d like to thank you for reading this issue and, as always, if we’ve missed anything, please send it in and we’ll include it on our next issue.
Sincerely,

POPCULTUREZ: “Impressively catchy album”
HIGHFIDELITYSTORIES “One of the best albums of the year already!”
COLLAPSEBOARD.COM “It’s certainly the finest album of its type I’ve heard since Amon Tobin’s ISAM.”
UNDERSONG.UK: “Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of the album. From the gentle, enchanting welcome of ‘And Now, Nothing’ to the uptempo, Latin-inspired rhythms of ‘Liberated Lady’, this album is a peaceful yet powerful watercolour of perfection.” 9/10
“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
“Great work! Proper chilly out sample loveliness!”
Olli Teeba (Herbaliser, Ninja Tune)
“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)

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.
