Hi and welcome to our Random News #13
It has been a while since our last issue but we will try to keep this as short as possible.
Let’s go…
About a year ago, Equinox founder, DJ Scientist was filmed diggin’ records in Berlin for Diggin Is A Science. A few weeks ago, it was finally published on YouTube!
Enjoy and share!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trxSuVUVIRg
More importantly, his new project together with Fulgeance is about to be released this year in form of a single and full length album.
DJ Scientist dug out a haul of rare samples for the French MPC virtuoso Fulgeance (one half of Souleance) who transformed the source material into one of the most exciting beat maker projects this year: ‘The Soviet Tape‘.
A first single, ‘Moscow Nightlife‘, will be released in late September / early october on First Word Records from the UK and is aimed squarely at the DJs and the diggers with three dope instrumental Hip-Hop tracks.
On the album, you can expect more fire from Fulgeance and DJ Scientist’s beat arsenal as well as some dope features by the likes of Blu, Open Mike Eagle, Distant Starr and more!

Next up, we’ve got a fantastic new video of 2econd class citizen performing “Here Comes The Sun“!

Random News #10
Greetings and welcome to Random News #10.
We’ve “missed” a couple of issues due to a great overload of work, and yet, some things that should be included on this issue may have passed our notice, but this is only natural since we are currently working on the “Counter Future” project which is our biggest so far and consists of 2 12inch EPs, a 3LP full length album, a flexi disc release as well as some other stuff.
Speaking of Counter Future, let’s begin this issue with a short notice to inform all Last.fm users that the Counter Future EP is now available there:
http://www.lastfm.de/music/Various+Artists/Counter+Future+EP
——————————————————————————————————————————–
As you know, the Counter Future EP is also available on vinyl, split on two beautiful etched 12inch pressing, and is available in our shop. But that’s not the only nice item you can buy there. You should definitely check the beautiful vinyl postcards by 2econd class citizen and Glen Porter on the Postmanslove label which are now on stock:

——————————————————————————————————————————–
Next, we’d like to switch to some news about our artist, Godblesscomputers, starting with a nice review on his newly released EP, “Freedom Is OK”, on HHV magazine:
http://www.hhv-mag.com/de/review/4650/godblesscomputers-freedom-is-o-k
Staying with Godblesscomputers, we’d like to share the news of his brand new remix release on Fresh Yo!, named “Lost in downtown (The Beastie Boys re-works)” and, as appears on the title, this release includes 7 amazing classics by the Beastie Boys as re-worked by Gbc.
This is set to a “name-your-price” deal which means you can get it for free if you type zero (0). Though, we highly recommend that you support the artist and label.
You can listen and/or get it, here:
http://freshyolabel.bandcamp.com/album/fy-020-godblesscomputers-lost-in-downtown-the-beastie-boys-re-works
Finally, Indaba music has launched a remix contest in which Godblesscomputers remixes Sweatson Klank‘s “I Shouldn’t Be Here (Feat. Ango)“. Listen to this nice tune, here:
