label heads and long time partners kreon and lemos return to equivalence with avatone an emotive excursion to the early days of electronica, filled with warm strings and electric bass in a break trip reminiscent to the sound of detroit and late 90s uk breaks

for the next instalment of our series, we are proud to present the first re-works we have in plan for the acclaimed glacial album, hotel costes, and our first curator is dutch maestro, ion ludwig. 3 ultra sleek re-works, deeply mystified and haunting, perfectly exemplifying ion s magic touch.

following releases from kreon and lemos, equivalence returns for its third record with the jazz-infused crossover sound of glacial. george laimos (aka lemos) and ilan manouach have spent years crafting a style that combines sultry live instrumentation with subtle electronics in a unique yet natural meeting point between tradition and innovation. in 2012 they released their defining moment to date, a long player on the welcome to masomenos helmed hotel costes series, while more recently they appeared on six d.o.g.s with the entropy e.p.

the second record of athens based equivalence records comes from the labels co-owner and overall man of the hour, kreon. following in the steps of the first release, which has already been played by ricardo villalobos in fabric, 002 features two stripped down stompers, emanating analog warmth and hiss, while holding the groove and mystery throughout. groovy, low key, sub dub - perfect for those low ceiling places in the late early hours. early support by the usual suspects.

this dry, cold-processed stomper from jack rock shoots like a rocket out of nowhere. with a bass drum that reminds of stakes installed in the swampland and a mysterious melody, he once again presents himself as the connoisseur of delicate club dramaturgy and jack really knows how to conquer the hearts of both, the dj and the crowd.his stumbling funk finds its equivalence in dandy jack s staccato rush whose congenial remix shows a higher concentration, but is still full of catchiness and deepness driven by a real conviction. this must-have ep offers a really wonderful ground contact and represents the continuation of a unique label policy: young, but characterised by deep wisdom, knowledge that can only be found in the dark labyrinths of the club where we love to get lost over and over again...played by john acquaviva, dinky, toni rios
