Seeking: Review, Exposure, Distribution
Style: Electronica, IDM, Beats-Ambient

Right from the opening moments of the song “Among the Shadows of the Dervishes,” electronica artist Equatorial pumps up the drama and the tension like a skillful aural technician. The brooding beats, deftly muted but always there, certainly insistent, create a moody soundscape. It’s like Equatorial is painting with sounds, and the results are spellbinding. The three songs that the artist submitted are between 13 and 20 minutes long, so this isn’t a musician who likes to be rushed. But the listening experience is a magical one; we’re taken to new worlds, minds wide open, and we’re left to gape in wonder.
