With "A World Without", his epic, debut full length, 2CC has out-done even himself in terms of the scale of production and ambition of the vast journey of song he has successfully encompassed. The music is awash with soaring sections of string-led beauty, doused with brooding passages of disquietening ambience and driven on by crashing drums layered with such subtle textures as to create a densely-woven sound that might take many listens to fully realise. Punctuated only with snatches of lost folk songs and striking contributions from US based song/wordsmith Ceschi Ramos and the deeply unsettling jamesreindeer, the album is an ever-changing, ever-refining kaleidoscope of melodies and directions. Each track touches on a subtly different part of the whole which, in turn, has the album slowly draw itself out in one great all-encompassing movement, carrying the listener off into a brave new world rarely visited in this current musical age.

Tracks (01) - (06), (10) - (13) & (15) taken from the forthcoming Album “A World Without” (eqx-019). Other tracks taken from the EP’s “Wyred Folk” (eqx-009) and “One By One” (eqx-017).
"Same Old Love Song", the A side of Ceschi and DJ Scientist's 12" picture disc is an upbeat folk tinged hip hop piece which owes as much to OD's Beneath The Surface compilation as it does to Too Short's Freaky Tales. On this track, Ceschi has recruited LA Underground legends 2Mex and Awol One to join in on tackling the always relevant issue of women and love or lack there of. The light hearted nature of these three distinctive emcees' lyrics blend perfectly with Scientist's throbbing drums, folk guitars and female vocal samples.
On the B-Side we hear Ceschi team up with one of his hip hop idols and tour mates, Freestyle Fellowship founder, Myka 9 on the track "Objects Are Falling". Between the trumpet spikes, an infectiously bouncy beat, and a space age melodic chorus lay 3 hard hitting verses covering the topics of religious and political control, communal unity and human symmetry.
While these may be two of Ceschi's most straight forward hip hop tracks to date, he proves that he can style and flow with the best of the west. With this picture disc Equinox Records may have released one of the strongest underground hip hop singles to come out in years.

VANGEL - BIBLIO EP
“Biblio”, exemplifies Vangel’s most polished and musical work to date. Making use of public and private libraries as his primary outlet for sample sources, Vangel set out to create the foundation for an original jazz-electronic music hybrid. Track skeletons were combined with live instrumentation by Toronto’s premier session musicians, and songs began to appear. The result is Biblio: a smooth and rich sounding journey that teeters on the edge of elevator music and avant-garde pop genius. “Cheesy, but serious like hipster scarfs and coffee”.
Press Quotes:
“A jazz-rock hybrid that would do Miles and Herbie proud” Amplifier Magazine
“This release is based on sheer quality and excitement” SoulMatters Mag
“Biblio is lively and fluid as it jumps around, relying as heavily on the drum rhythms as on the melodies of woodwind, piano and alto saxophone.” Plug In Music
“If you're looking for some interesting, hip hop flavoured, jazz and everything else-influenced instrumental music, Vangel just might be fors you.” Hero Hill Magazine
“Enjoyful on so many levels” Earshots Magazine
“Vangel has the ability to layer the instrumentation in a beautiful, engaging way before pulling each track together with explosive, experimental, emotional percussion.” Exclaim Magazine
“Vangel’s sounds are so difficult to classify because they seem to come from everywhere and mingle in the ether to create a fantastic nu-jazz progressive fusion or broken beat psychedelic funk” Pulse Weekly
“beautiful tracks that you need for this spring” Bloggertronix
“incredibly well structured album.” Versus Magazine SF

GESTE - JAW BREAKER EP
This could easily be the most adventurous IDM / electronic release this year. Before creating the glitchiest electronic music known to computers and men, Geste from Paris was an accomplished bass player in various bands, playing music from hardcore punk to post rock. Those influences are still alive in the ferocious energy of the music he does now. The title track "Jaw Breaker" will make your speakers scream "LOUD!", while "Ohm Sick" builds up tension second after second. Next up, "André" is pure and raw beauty, while the revised version of "Octobre (Couds Gone)" makes up a perfect ending for this astonishing debut.
The clear 12" issue of this release is a very loud pressing on clear vinyl! It includes a download code for all tracks plus the digital bonus track "Octobre (Glouds Gone)!

CESCHI - COUNT ON IT / BAD JOKES
This 7inch single is the first introduction to Ceschi and DJ Scientist's new full length album to be released in early 2009.
"Count On It" is a powerful hip hop anthem sparked by DJ Scientist's epic string and drum arrangement, written just weeks before the Fall 2007 Equinox Records European tour. During this time period Ceschi's band Toca had recently fallen apart only months after the release of their full length album. On top of this, Ceschi severely broke his arm and was taking 90 mg of morphine every day to nullify the pain all while his Grandmother fell seriously ill and ended up spending 2 months in the hospital. "Count On It" was written after one of Ceschi's every day/all day visits to the hospital and is an in depth self-analysis of a struggling musician trying to maintain a life outside of society's normalcy.
"Bad Jokes", is one of the key tracks making up Ceschi's semi-fictional story of a one-man-band who went by the name of "Julius and The Bearded Savior". This song is only a single part of an ongoing tale of stardom, deception and failure within an unappreciative music industry. Although "Bad Jokes" is the first story you will hear about "The One Man Band" - it is one of the last stories about his life that is featured on the album which is littered with references to this same story.
The digital version additionally contains a remix of “Bad Jokes” by Misanthrop and an instrumental version of “Count On It”.

Yo Equinox Recordsasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
