[EQUINOX]
Brought up in Southeast London on a diet of dub, 80s soul, jazz, funk, Detroit techno and much, much more, all the signs pointed to Equinox's eventual involvement with music from an early age.
Introduced to the hardcore scene at an early age via exposure to acid house and techno by his uncles, Equinox was drawn to the more beat driven side of things - Black Dog, Shut Up And Dance, Forge Masters, Nightmares on Wax - whilst also gaining inspiration from techno pioneers such as Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Derrick May and Larry Heard.
However, it wasn't just electronic music that were major musical influences - pretty much anything laid back, mellow and chilled floated from his speakers. Ray Burns, Weather Report, Donald Byrd, Quincy Jones, Roy Ayers, Yabby U and King Tubby all form part of Equinox's musical heritage.
