“There’s a part of yourself.. that you don’t show anybody. During a session when I’m inside.. I get to see those things.. I feel them. With Stargher I felt things I never want to feel again.”

Equinox can fold and tear an Amen break six ways from Sunday but he holds back a bit on “Retroism,” letting one roll out fairly unmolested through a dissonant ether of beeps, chimes and voice samples. The result is laid-back and mesmerizing. Due to mastering issues, “Roy Ting” replaced the originally-slated “Far Away” on the b-side, offering more contrast in the form of a full-on drum assault. “Roy” is sinister in its atmosphere and has space to breathe; the meat is in the mental drum lashings and a massive sustained bassline. The verdict: a double helping of Drum & Bass mysticism.
