EQUINOX Invites 011 — Yosh

—

In early 2020, South-East London's Yosh set out to bring his own unique flavour to the jungle and garage scene - a scene that he has spent countless years immersed in as a raver. He was given the honor of being the first producer to release on Burnski's imprint VIVID, which set the tone for what Yosh was truly capable of. Yosh's quick rise within this scene has been impressive to say the least, well on the way to becoming one of the most sought after producers in the game. In just one year, he has released on @shallnotfade’s bossing imprint Time in Now, @holdinghandsrecords, @dansudiscs and followed up VIVID001 with another 2 full length EPs, a testament to his dedication as a producer.



As our eleventh invitee, Yosh provides an hour-long mix full of 2-steppin', lusciously-chopped, mystical, rolling garage utilising his own productions and extensive record collection. Remember this man's name because if the past year has shown us anything it’s that Yosh is bound for greatness.

Lopar is a Colombian DJ, based in the city of Manizales in the western central region of the country. After initiating his mixing studies at Medellin’s Academia Decibel back in 2016, he has since formulated his own unique sound that ranges from deep and pensive, to hypnotic and mentally intriguing. Lopar’s artistry sees him navigate through a myriad of subgenres to create a soundscape that is both ambient and tribal, allowing the listener to embark upon an explorative journey through the past and the future.

His distinctive tastes and great selections have elevated him to performances alongside globally renowned acts such as Anthony Linell & past EQUINOX guest Etapp Kyle - and now, we’re proud to showcase the latest contribution to EQUINOX Invites from him. Authentically deep, dubby sounds ebb and flow throughout, as Lopar demonstrates his pedigree within the deep techno scene.

Lopar’s enthralling mix is a fitting conclusion to the first of many series’ within EQUINOX Invites. Twelve mixes were showcased, each of them accompanied by meticulously prepared bespoke artwork to reflect the seasonality of our calendar year.

Francesco Visconti (VSK) is a producer and DJ from Rome, Italy. From a young age, he has demonstrated an innate passion for electronic music, having been introduced to the world of DJing when he was only 16 years old. 

Showcasing a distinct level of diversity in all aspects of his artistry, Francesco has produced many different forms of techno throughout his already illustrious career. His style ranges from a sound that is very hard and dark – often with industrial influences – to a deeper, cerebral one. Both, however, are still easily recognisable as coming from the same mind. 

VSK’s contribution to the series, which stretches beyond the hour mark, incorporates an intriguing variety of groovy techno numbers & gritty breaks - all of which held together by truly impeccable mixing.

We’re honoured to be able to kick off our sophomore series of EQUINOX Invites with such a highly regarded artist; initiating the next chapter of a series we are becoming increasingly proud of as time goes on.

Scott McKay (aka Fear-E) is a DJ and producer based in Glasgow, a city in Scotland which has already given us a plethora of musical talent to appreciate. Having a long-time association as a regular DJ within his hometown’s club scene, his style of cross-genre club music and energetic sets has seen him perform at numerous notable clubs around UK and Europe. 

With a spatial and deconstructive approach to music, Fear-E’s productions pitch soft and hard sonics to create stripped-down, club-focused tracks. His alter-ego music creations join smatterings of rave and pop-edits, aimed for the dancefloor. 

Aside from his multiple releases on award winning imprint DABJ (Dixon Avenue Basement Jams) he has released through labels such as; Dark Entries, Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t Be Afraid, Hilltown Disco, Avoidant, Shadow Child’s “Takeout” label, and Street Tracks. 

The fourteenth invitee (second within our latest podcast series) to EQUINOX Invites, Fear-E’s contribution represents the refreshing variety of stylings that our collective seeks to exhibit, all encased within a dynamic mix from the Scottish artist.

Hamburg’s Sidney Charles is an accolade-laden producer and DJ, whose take on house music is known amongst fans as ‘The Sidney Sound’ - one built on heavy low ends, the immediate impact of chunky drums, cavernous low frequencies and hard hitting rhythms that connect directly with your body. It’s important to note however, that despite his prominence, he holds a distinct affinity for the underground scene and aims to do his part in keeping it alive.

In recent years, Sidney has made a tangible transition in sound that now sees him fully immersed in the realms of minimal deep house, releasing on labels such as Heavy House Society, No Art & PIV Records. As the fifteenth invitee to our EQUINOX Invites series, we’re overjoyed to see Sidney contributing to a scene we’re so fond of - providing us with an hour's worth of serious groovers that will have you dancing anytime, anywhere.

747 (aka Ryan Chan) is a DJ and producer from Vancouver, Canada. Inspired by the sounds of Berlin, Detroit, and the acid legends, his sound is high-fidelity yet old-school, uplifting yet melancholic, a journey with no destination to the sound of the 303. Known worldwide for his widely acclaimed Aurora Centralis EP, 747 is firmly situated at the forefront of the acid techno scene - and it’s with great pleasure that we welcome him as our sixth ‘EQUINOX Invites’ entry. 

Across the near 90-minute mix, the Canadian flexes not only his abilities as a DJ, but also his diverse collection of musical productions.

EQUINOX Invites 008 — Ela Minus

Colombia’s supremely talented Gabriela Jimeno - aka Ela Minus - embodies artistic expression in its purest of forms. In a world frequented by artistic imitation and similarities, Ela puts her own spin on traditional electronic music through the use of self-built synthesizers and an accompanying analog approach to music performance. As a self-imposed rule, none of her work is generated with a computer.

Citing Kraftwerk and early Daft Punk as inspirations for music that can exist both in-and-out of a club setting, the eighth edition of EQUINOX Invites appropriately showcases Ela Minus’ talents as a DJ, producer and creator of musical experience.
