2econd Class Citizen’s music is a hybrid of electronically produced folk rock combined with complex dusty drum-breaks to offer up a wide spectrum of emotive songwriting. Both his EP Releases “Divided Reality“ and “Wyred Folk” created a buzz of anticipation from a diverse collection of musical circles and gained him great reviews and quotes from well respected figures in the music scene.
In september 2009, his astonishing debut album “A World Without” was released on Equinox Records from Berlin and hailed as 'one of the best records of the year' by a diverse bunch of critics as well as other musicians such as Strictly Kev (“one of the best records of the year”) and DJ Format (“It's sounding bloody great!”).
2econd Class Citizen has toured Europe in 2007 with Noah23 and Ceschi and has performed at festivals including Glastonbury (UK) and Soundwave (Croatia). He has shared stages with the likes of Ceschi, Ugly Duckling, Mr thing, Noah 23 and even prog rock legends Gong and Steve Hillage.
Earlier this year he was invited by to produce a mix for the Solid Steel radio show (Ninja Tune) which is now available for download from their site.
In his live show he sets out to recreate the complexity and depth of orchestration he has become known for, using sound editing software and live drumming to keep a strong improvisational aspect.
+++PAST TOURS++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Equinox Records and Fake Four Inc.
present 2Mex, Ceschi, DJ Scientist & Playpad Circus - Europe Tour 2009
In October 2009 the Berlin based record label Equinox Records will proceed the successful story of its first European Tour in 2007. This time, the legendary 2Mex (of the Visionaries) and Ceschi will be the headliners. Furthermore, Playpad Circus and DJ Scientist - two more great artists - are completing the tour line-up respectively.
Whether you’re familiar with his catalog or not, it’s safe to say that 2Mex (aka SonGodSuns) is an underground legend. His long list of contributions and collaborative work is staggering. 2Mex pledges allegiance to Visionaries, Of Mexian Descent, Afterlife, Project Blowed, The Shapeshifters, Look Daggers and The Returners and possibly is one of the most prolific underground rappers ever, with at least 35 CD releases and too many guest appearances to count (including guest appearances on albums by Atmosphere, Abstract Rude, and many others). Through hard work and determination, while touring the globe many times over, he has built a cult-like following that tries to keep up with his massive output. This tour brings 2Mex back to Europe where he is going to present new tracks from his upcoming albums on Grimm Image Records and Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records.
Ceschi (USA / Anonymous Inc. / Equinox / Fake Four)
"Words could not credit the talents of Ceschi, whether it's rapping, singing, or composing" (Erasoul.com)
Ceschi (pro-nounced Chess-Key) is one of the most unique and best live performers today. Being able to rap, sing, play the guitar, threaten the keys of his casio while simultaneously making beats with his feet on drum pads, he ignites every crowd with ease. Whether it's a big stage or a small pub, you can always count on Ceschi to go all out, resulting in an emotional and exciting, yet unconventional mixture of a classic Hip-Hop show (being backed by DJ Scientist on turntables) and his accoustic performances.
Ceschi with feat. Noah23 "Scream"
Even though Ceschi constantly performs in the US with better known artists he still is quite unknown in Europe. Some may know him for his experimental post-psych-rock-hop-jazz-fusion outfit Anonymous Inc., a group formed by Ceschi and his brother David in 1994 that came into recognition in 2001 because of genre bending collaborations with underground hip hop rule breakers such as Circus (of Shape Shifters), Dose and Sole (of Anticon).
Others may know Ceschi as a member of the now defunct Toca, a Los Angeles based group whose lineup included Xololanxinxo (Of Mexican Descent) and longtime Shape Shifters collaborator Tommy V - Toca was known for a standout debut appearance on 2005's "Project Blowed 10 year anniversary album" and for a critically applauded album of genre bending pop fusion featuring collaborations with some of LA's finest rappers including Aceyalone, Pigeon John, Busdriver,Ellay Khule and more.
On top of all of this, Ceschi has a promising solo career jump started by the 2004 Beyond Space Entertainment release of "Fake Flowers", an album that some consider to be a "rare accomplishment in hip hop" (ugsmag.com) and "one of the most beautiful releases of [2004]" (movemusics.com). On his 2006 release, "They Hate Francisco False", Ramos merged Beatles-esque melodies over crunk drums, heartfelt hip hop, folk ditties, unpretentious poetry and overall honesty to create what some consider to be a timeless morsel of an album. The decidedly genre-less pieces that make up "They Hate Francisco False" retain a fluidity that feels completely natural and unfeigned. Erasoul.com stated that "Francisco False" is "One of those albums you just have to hear."
His next album "Fallen Famous" (to be released on Equinox Records in early 2010) will contain powerful hip hop anthems such as "Count On It" and "Love Song" (feat. 2Mex and Awol One), as well as soulful folk-hop styled compositions such as "Bad Jokes" and "Bridge" where Ceschi paints a semi-fictional story of a one-man-band by the name of "Julius and The Bearded Savior" who stars in an ongoing tale of stardom, deception and failure within an unappreciative music industry.
Fresh off of a nationwide US tour with Sole and Myka 9, running his own record label Fake Four Inc., and releasing some of his strongest music to date, in 2009 Ceschi's name will spread further than ever before. So make sure to catch him on his European tour with Equinox and remember the name!
DJ Scientist (GER / Equinox Records)
With Equinox Record's label founder DJ Scientist one of the most respected German DJs and beat producers enters the stage. Starting his DJ career in 1995 he has performed and toured with artists such as Sage Francis, The Pharcyde, Noah23, M.I.A., DJ Faust & DJ Shortee, Sole, Subtitle, DJ Static and many others. In his life shows he is combining hard hitting drumbreaks with smashing psych guitars and a touch of old school hip-hop samples.
Besides investing every minute to keep the label business running and offering high quality music to the sophisticated Equinox listeners he still finds time to follow his passion as a producer. DJ Scientist was completely responsible for the instrumental part of Ceschi’s new album “Fallen Famous” and continues to work on various new projects.
Playpad Circus (GER / Equinox Records)
At the very young age of 10, Playpad Circus already started making electronic music with a computer and a keyboard. After being a DJ for several years, he decided to concentrate more on his career as a producer. Since then, he made remixes for a diverse bunch of hiphop and indie/electronica acts such as Subtle (Lex Records), Odd Nosdam (Anticon), 2econd Class Citizen (Equinox), Bleubird (Endemik) and Audio88 while he currently is working on a new solo project and an EP with the Canadian rapper Noah23.
Still at the beginning of his carreer, his unique arrangement skills and production techniques yet made him an established figure in the German electronic and experimental hiphop scene. And besides all that, Playpad Circus is also known as an in demand engineer and mixer working for several artists and labels in Berlin and beyond.
Playing live, Playpad Circus is combining, controlling and remixing a huge variety of breakbeats, loops and electronic sounds, creating a tremendous mashup-monster, the dancefloor won't forget.
