We are moving fast forward with the Counter Future Series and today we would like to announce the pre-order of the full length “Counter Future – A Sound Exposure Vol. 3” compilation that is run exclusively in cooperation with hhv.de. You can now order two versions of the album at the Equinox Online Store or at the hhv-shop:
The normal edition is a triple vinyl multi gatefold sleeve, while the deluxe edition additionally comes with a very limited bonus flexi disc with a track by Geste (more info about that soon!) as well as a poster.

Last but not least we have prepared the first of two preview mixes for the album. This first snippet contains tracks from the first half of the album by Geste, Godblesscomputers, Fulgeance, Skyence, Andreikelos, 2econd Class Citizen, Playpad Circus, Glen Porter and Haunted Days & Witch’s Teat.

The album features 21 tracks in total, including additional tunes by Dday One, David Vangel, Kopfklang, Deckard, J. Baracuz, Bit-Tuner and more. We hope that you agree – after listening to the snippet mix – that this is an essential Equinox release and shouldn’t be missed in your collection. We think that it captures the sound of Equinox to the fullest in many of it’s facets and hope that you will all like it!

Random News #3 (April 2012)

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:

Data Transmission

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)

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.
http://soundcloud.com/djscientist/the-pharcyde-nuttin-like

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/

David Vangel news

Here is a very nice feature of our artist David Vangel from Canada on Restorm.

Also, if you haven’t heard yet, Vangel’s website has been recently updated and also includes an e-shop (!)

Equinox Records

And now, for closure, we’d like to share this nice commercial video about Rhone Runner which features Geste’s “Eating Concrete” (Signal² Remix) from the “Re-Think Concrete” release!
http://vimeo.com/30861688

Even the fiercest music on our label fits nicely to any kind of commercial! … So, if you would like to licence/use music from our catalogue, just get in touch with us.

We’d like to thank you for reading this (quite bigger than expected) issue and, as always, if we’ve missed anything, please send it in and we’ll include it on our next issue.

Till then…

Sincerely,
the Equinox Records team.

Geste – The Eating Concrete Remix Contest Results

Here we go with the results from the remix contest for Geste’s track “Eating Concrete”.

First of all, thanks to everybody taking part in the contest and sending in their versions. We decided to post 8 remixes on the Equinox soundcloud account of which we thought they were exciting and had a unique sound.

We couldn’t really decide who should win the contest and so we thought that it should be a double first place between the Russian producer team Demokracy (feat. Didjelirium) and the French producers Turn Steak. Congratulations to both of you!!

The Demokracy team really surprised us with the dope vocal additions by Didjelirium. A sensitive approach we all fell in love with, not only remixing but also extending the original track’s atmosphere. “Eating concrete is the sole remedy for those suffering from a deadly allergy to softness “. Damn sure:

Geste – Eating Concrete (Demokracy & didjelirium Re-Think) – 1st Place #1 by Equinox Records

We also loved the Turnsteak remix because of the nice sounds and overall fatness. Smashing the dancefloor, with a unique smart-ass attitude. Nasty & Clever:

Geste – Eating Concrete (TuRnStEaK Remix) – 1st Place #2 by Equinox Records

We are sure both winner tracks could be DJ favourites… As for the price, an official release on Equinox Records, we are not sure yet how it will look like but we will definitely keep you in the loop! Maybe we will even do a very limited vinyl release for this! We’ll see!

Then, we also decided for a double 2nd place between dupstep producer Audhentik from Germany and the Stalk / Signal2 team from France. We hope you will be on the official (digital) release as well! Audhentik’s remix was the most aggressive dubstep remix we received. So much anger it’s gonna nail you down to the ground. Signal2′s version was straight in your face. Awesome binary approach & clubbing vibes. Thumbs up! Here are all remixes together:

Geste – The “Eating Concrete” REMIX CONTEST WINNERS by Equinox Records

So yeah. That’s it for now! Thanks again to everybody being part of this!
