AeQuo is the creation of Jawad Nawfal and Victor Bresse.
All tracks were produced, programmed, and recorded in

From deep caves dripping of dark ambience to dynamically extreme rhythms and intense tones, AeQuo brings listeners deep seeded spirits and emotion lost in todays often shallow sounds of electronic music.

A modern creation that is enveloped by the past and exists within beautiful, yet turbulent surroundings. A crossroad of cultures and sounds that is a mixture of seeming opposites. A world full of vibrant life, contact and beauty that is balanced by violent strife, disconnect and pain...
