The birth of Equinox Records dates back to late 2002, when long time disk jockey, producer, and record collector Günter Stöppel aka DJ Scientist founded a platform to release music for artists that shared the same ideas and visions of sound and art. Now residing in Berlin/Germany, Equinox has been able to construct a worldwide network of artists and fans.

With the first release in 2004 and the CD/2LP compilation 'Welcome to the Neo Golden Age' Equinox Records has paved its way in becoming one of the most importaint new labels in the field of urban electronic music in Germany and Europe.Many aspiring producers have joined the roster or have contributed to Equinox releases: Arcsin (New York, Uncommon/Def Jux), Deckard (Munich, Ish Rec.), Emynd (Philadelphia), Danny Decock (Vienna), DiViNCi (of Sol.illaquists of Sound, Orlando Epitaph), Mnemotrauma (Berlin, Subversiv), DJ Sept (Munich), just to name a few. The latest artist on the label is 2econd Class Citizen from England - an incredibly talented musician, whose 'Divided Reality' 12" has caused some serious ruckus in UK. His new EP 'Wyred Folk' will be released february 26th, 2007 and is Equinox Records' ninth release.

With distrubution through Kudos / Pinnacle in London (for the UK, Japan, Australia) and Hausmusik in Munich (for the German, France, Italy, US, Austria) Equinox' music gained attention from music lovers all over the planet. And the formula for the continuous success is quite simple: quality in music, quality in artwork and the fusion of both. With its exceptional and remarkable designs, including stencings, printed inlays and gatefold sleeves, the label has been getting positive press feedback in Electronica and Hip-Hop magazines all over Europe and overseas and even in design and art magazines. Equinox releases have been acclaimed very well by international radio stations and club DJs, the music pleases the home, as well as the dancefloor audience.
