Review: Last year, Istanbul producer Safak Oz Kutle - better known as Oceanvs Orientalis - made his bow on Crosstown Rebels via two collaborative singles. Here he delivers a third and final teaser for his forthcoming debut album, 'Neurality'. The track itself is typically hypnotic, densely layered and subtly psychedelic, with hand percussion, stretched-out hallucinatory chords, simple riffs and sparkling electronic motifs rising above a sequenced bassline and unfussy tech-house drums. Nick Curly provides the accompanying remix, re-framing the track as a darker and more bass-heavy slab of heady tech-house hypnotism with deliciously moody bass.

Review: Returning to Damien Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels label, Jonathan Kaspar presents his latest EP, "We Come", delving into melodic techno realms. With prior contributions to other major indies like Cocoon and Kompakt, Kaspar's signature confidently navigates a big room, dubby trance, and crunchy electro sound with straight up house inspirations. Resisting easy classification, Kaspar weighs up his genres, taking in "Flash Point" as a standout track, with ducking and distortion, plus sidechain, central to the mix here next to some lovely syncopated stabs Additionally, Paul Brenning's rendition of "Transposed Sky" deserves some close attention for its unique flip treatment. In Crosstown we trust.

Review: Given that his Crosstown Rebels label debut, 'Horizon Red', was widely praised as one of the underground club cuts of 2023, hopes are naturally high for Made In Pete's speedy sequel. In its original form (track one), 'Fires' is a burning hot (sorry) blend of moody vocals (and vocalisations), shuffling house beats, rubbery synth-bass and meandering TB-303 acid motifs. He provides a tougher, darker and more after-hours-friendly 'Dub Mix' of his own, while the package also boasts two other revisions: a deeper, dreamier and more loose-limbed rework by UK scene stalwart Bushwacka!, and a deliciously dark, twisted and mind-mangling tribal house-goes-acid rework courtesy of Victor Calderone and Mykol.

Review: For fans of Damian Lazarus's Crosstown Rebels label, the release of a new SPIRITS compilation has become something of a New Year tradition. In Lazarus' words, the yearly collection - which here hits its' sixth volume - sets the label's "agenda" for the year ahead via cuts from fresh signings and label regulars. There are plenty of bona-fide dancefloor gems to be found throughout the eight-track collection, with our current favourites including the throbbing, percussion-rich big room tech-house excellence of 'The Vision' by Cameron Jack; the acid-fired heaviness of Lauren Lane's 'Fair Game', with its wobbly sub-bass and echoing Latin drum hits; the crackling, mind-mangling tech-house psychedelia of 'So Deep' by Cristina Lazic and Leia Contois; and the fiendishly bass-heavy tribal-tech wonder that is Inigo Vontier's accurately titled 'That Trippy Sound'.

Oceanvs Orientalis feat Tooker
Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech
Review: Oceanvs Orientalis, the Istanbul-based maestro known for his hypnotic and culturally diverse soundscapes, collaborates with Italian artist Tooker to deliver II Lupo as their debut on the revered Crosstown Rebels label. Drawing from Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, and Armenian influences, Oceanvs Orientalis creates a thick tapestry of sound that unfolds after a year of global performances. The EP immerses listeners in a haunting atmosphere of ethereal synth-lines, wolf howls, and resonant drum hits, transporting us into a realm of intrigue. The collaboration with Tooker adds an extra dimension to Oceanvs Orientalis's signature downtempo style, with Acid Pauli's remix enriching the melodic journey with cosmic stabs, shimmering chimes and vivacious tones. The result is a soul-stirring composition that showcases the synergy between these talented artists and their ability to craft an immersive sonic experience.

Review: A bit of a legend: Harry Romero makes a triumphant return to Crosstown Rebels, teaming up with the talented vocalist Shyam P for Mind Games. With a career spanning two decades, Romero's expertise in Latin-inspired and percussive-driven NY house music is on full display. "Mind Games" itself is a dynamic journey, seamlessly blending a slick and heady groove with Shyam P's captivating vocals, creating an infectious and vibrant house cut. The EP also features the classic Romero touch in "Mira," a bustling terrace number with crisp organic percussion, carnival-esque whistles, and hooky Latin vocals, while "Analog Bugz" rounds off the release with a no-nonsense, main room-ready builder characterised by crisp drum shots and sharp stabs. A touch of tribal, a touch of something techier - and all that Romero jazz.

Review: Two years on from the release of his popular debut album, Roots, Dennis Cruz returns to Crosstown Rebels with an EP that mixes top-notch solo tracks with a couple of eye-catching collaborations. In the former category you'll find fine title track 'Snake Charmer', an exotic, intoxicating and tribal-tinged chunk of early morning 'ethno-house' that subtly builds in intensity throughout, and the dark, hushed and hypnotic tech-house of 'Time Out'. Elsewhere, Cruz first joins forces with label boss Damian Lazarus and guest DJ Holographic on 'Revolution', a kind of 21st century tech-house update of the Dance Mania ghetto-house sound, before collaborating with Ian Ludvig on the wonky, mind altering and darkened pulse of 'Pain Away'.

Review: Following a series of increasingly impressive singles and EPs, Crosstown Rebels regular Tibi Dabo has delivered his hotly anticipated debut album, Vista. Building on the emotive and uplifting feel of recent single 'Overture' - which rounds off the set in fine style - the Barcelona-based producer confidently strides between rolling, synth-powered nu-disco/deep house fusion ('Water Is'), surging and organ-rich techno ('Triple Frontier'), breakbeat-sporting, IDM-influenced electronica ('Diamond Baby'), locked-in early morning hypnotism ('Useless Ideas'), spaced-out tech-house ('Mundo') and acid-flecked, mind-mangling peak-time sleaze (the rubbery, sub-heavy 'Mangabeira Manifesto').

Review: Crosstown Rebels has been happily nurturing the career of Barcelona-born producer Tibi Dabo (real name Maximillian Muhler), offering up periodic singles and EPs since 2019. 'Overture', the producer's fifth outing on Damian Lazarus's imprint, is another strong offering - a chunky, emotive and slowly rising affair in which sweeping chords, spacey pads and memorable electronic melodies rise above a thickset bassline and rolling house drums. Remix wise, Giegling regular Map.ache steps up first, adding a touch more swing to the drums, stabbing hooks and hazy, dub techno style riffs, before Aline Brooklyn and Aman Umber join forces as Aline Umber. Their revision is weighty, thickset and analogue rich, though wisely they also make space for Muhler's deliciously dreamy chords and shimmering synth-strings.

Review: It's been quite a journey for Nicolas Blistene and Kate Elsworth AKA Lunar Disco, who initially emerged from the Parisian house scene before relocating to Australia some years back. Here they deliver their highest profile release to date, landing on Crosstown Rebels with the moody-but-rubbery 'Devil's Hands'. Their original mix is undeniably intoxicating, with Elsworth's atmospheric lead vocals rising above bouncy beats, moody electronics, Spaghetti Western guitar licks and warm bass. They join forces with TAYA to deliver their own deep, wonky, stripped-back and mind-mangling tech-house club mix, while Luciano delivers a spacey and heady tech-powered take. Best of all, though, is Anthony Middleton's revision, which makes superb use of some twisted TB-303 'acid' lines and ghostly melodies.

Review: The minimal powerhouse that is Catz 'N Dogz debut on Crosstown Rebels with a fine EP. The title track features ZenSoFly's vocals wrapped into an old school-house bassline and a nagging contemporary rhythm. It makes for a compelling combination that straddles house, techno and pop. "Wake Up" has a more underground feeling. Revolving around a heads-down groove and frazzled synths, it also features layers of tripped out vocal samples. Remaining in otherworldly sound territory, the label has tapped Robag Wruhme to remix the title track. Centred on a throbbing bass and tough steely drums, the maverick producer breathes new life into the original.

Review: Parallelle teams up once more with Nicolas Masseyeff for this captivating release on Crosstown Rebels, featuring a stellar remix by Adam Ten & Mita Gami. This collaboration between the Dutch brother duo and the French producer showcases their seamless studio partnership. Parallelle's hybrid sound intertwines effortlessly with Masseyeff's influences of Detroit and Chicago. The title track "Renegade" sets the mood with its deep mid-tempo groove, accompanied by elegant drums, vibrant chords, and a resonating bassline. Adam Ten & Mita Gami's remix offers a magical journey with its evolving melodies and modulated synths, while "Bandidos" concludes the EP with its deep, intricate layers of synths and hypnotic rhythm.

Review: After a run of releases on Phantasy Sound and Shall Not Fade, psychedelic house specialists Red Axes make their bow on Crosstown Rebels. As the title hints, 'Relax Shiva' is a hallucinatory affair that makes extensive use of exotic Eastern instrumentation and vocals. These are combined with mind-bending TB-303 motifs, a doom-laden bassline and hypnotic beats with predictably trippy and loved-up results. Alongside a bonus instrumental mix, you'll find two top tier remixes: a percussive, bass-heavy and tribal-tinged take by Parisian veteran DJ Gregory (who successfully channels the spirit of his legendary Africanism series) and a chugging, immersive, saucer-eyed revision by Sidartha Siliceo and Heiko Dijker.

Review: Two decades have now passed since Damian Lazarus shuttered the City Rockers imprint and launched Crosstown Rebels. The tech-tinged label was an instant success and has continued to inspire DJs and dancers ever since. 'CR20 The Album' is a label retrospective with a twist, namely that it contains unheard versions of classic catalogue tracks, unreleased gems and fresh revisions. The many highlights include - but are not limited to - the hushed, early morning Latin-tech shuffle of Dennis Cruz's remix of Pier Bucci's 'Hay Consuelo', a typically atmospheric, percussion-rich and string-laden Black Coffee revision of Made By Pete and Zoe Kypri's 'Horizon Red', and a tactile, saucer-eyed Art Department tweak of 'Paradise' by Jamie Jones.

Review: Pale Blue, the musical duo consisting of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti and recently signed to Crosstown Rebels, has released their latest emotionally charged track, "Together Alone." Wight's honest and haunting vocals glide smoothly over the mix, reminiscent of trip-hop icons like Martina Topley-Bird and Tracey Thorn, but with a minimalist techno backing. Then to accompanies the release, Danish Native Rune Reilly Kolsch himself offers a groovier bassline and glittering build remix, which omits the vocals. This new single is the third release from Pale Blue's upcoming album on Crosstown Rebels, showcasing their collaborative work as critically acclaimed artists with renowned solo careers in the electronic realm.
