Unlearn is the long awaited fourth album
of DJ and producer 2econd Class Citizen.
It marks the artist's return back to the
newly relaunched label Equinox Records.
Their previous collaborations achieved
high acclaim for their genre bending
fusion of hip hop, electronica and folk
music.
The new album is an exploration of an
artist journeying beyond their
conventional confines. It is a musical
adventure peppered with vintage samples
concerning the perception of reality and
our struggles with conforming to a
broken society.
Unlearn is the most musically
accomplished work of 2econd Class
Citizen to date. As one would expect the
drum programming, scratching and
production is on point. Several tracks
feature soothingly melodic and energetic
passages of jazz saxophone from Leroy
Horns and electric guitar riffs provided
by long term collaborator Paul Drury.
2econd Class Citizen, real name Aaron
Thomason, resides in Brighton, UK. He is
also a painter and visual artist
fascinated with abstraction and the
chaos of mixing colours. His musical
approach on the new LP draws many
parallels to this creative process. An
original painting from the artist forms
the albums striking cover.
Equinox Records is run by DJ Scientist
in Germany. The Unlearn project marks
the 51st release and provides the
perfect launch vehicle for the dormant
label to rise again. The vinyl release
of Unlearn as well as the single Be
Together signify the first stops in a
release plan which will please fans of
the label.
