Equinox Records celebrates its 25th release with a 250 copies limited edition box set. Containing a 7inch as well as a custom USB Stick (only with the first deluxe copies!! NOT in this package), the main part of the beautiful collector's box is a 50-minute audio cassette (yes, a real tape!) featuring two incredible Equinox megamixes by Buddy Peace and Phonatic. Both artists took it to the next level with their mixes: Phonatic's version includes possibly more than 50 tracks and countless extra layers blended on top, an example of how to use an ableton live / mpd set up in full effect. Buddy Peace transformed and mashed the tracks to a completely new and original sounding 25-minute mixture. Using remarkable bits of the songs, chopping them up and adding new drums while maintaining a minimalistic and intelligent touch, this megamix became very special and brilliant. The vinyl 7inch contains an unreleased remix by Deadpan Darling's "Laugh Track" by Munich based artist Deckard. With this track, Deckard proves once more that he is one of the best downbeat producers in Europe, giving the track an even darker feel, surrounded by dense sounds and striking drums. On the flipside, 2econd Class Citizen's classic 'Wishing Well' gets reworked by The Raincoatman and Vangel from Canada. Although this tune has been remixed previously, this new version gives it a new groovy feel with its additional bass and wah wah guitars. And finally, the deluxe edition (only 50 copies) includes a USB stick that contains the long time lost and now recouped 2007 tour video with unseen live footage by Ceschi, Noah23, The Dedicated Beatheads, 2econd Class Citizen and more. However, if you miss the deluxe package with the stick, all of the limited 250 copies include a download link for the video as well as the digital version of the remix release and more bonus material, making 'Equinox presents - The 25th' a worthy package for all music lovers and collectors.
