Ali Love - Another (CRM117)

Ali Love, one half of dance duo Infinity Ink and the voice of the illustrious  Hot Natured, announces his new single ´Another’ on Crosstown Rebels. Ali´s previous single ´Emperor´ featuring Kali picked up significant radio time, with support and Essential New Tune from Pete Tong and on daytime with Sara Cox, coupled with a huge remix from Maceo Plex that´s been heard on dancefloors all summer. Having headlined the dance stage at Glastonburywith Hot Natured and performed at every major festival in Europe with Infinity Ink, Ali´s new single ´Another’ comes highly anticipated.

Co-produced with Steve Dub,  ´Another´ pumps a four to the floor beat with glitchy percussion and slinky synthetic tops with the distinctive soothing and psychedelic sounds of Ali´s vocals. Techno soul at its best. The single comes with remixes from Tuff City Kids (aka Gerd Janson & Phillip Laur) and the inimitable Felix Da Housecat. Tuff City Kids channel Reese, and drive it deeper, whilst Felix Da Housecat smooths things out and turns the emotion dial to 11. It´s quite the package.

Ali is busy putting the finishing touches to next year´s album. ´Another´ is a sign of big things to come.

Him_Self_Her - Gone Too Long Feat. Kieran Fowkes (CRM116)

‘Gone Too Long’ from rising duo Him_Self_Her is a bonafide bomb - house with feeling and a massive bassline and killer vocal from Kieran Fowkes. Reinvigorated by Crosstown Rebels for a re-release after it came out on Mexican label Cream Couture last year, this time the infectious original comes backed with remixes from Belgian hero Compuphonic, who injects more bounce, bleeps and emotive melody and the mighty Yousef who’s darker ‘Circus Rework’ is a deep affair of rolling drums and dubby textures.


Dynamic duo Him_Self_Her is the astute combination of Claire and Leon who came together after honing individual skills for many years on their local scene in Leicester. All that it took was one studio session to realise the potency of their union and their genre blending productions are showing no bounds - ranging from deep grooves to disco infused techno. ‘Gone Too Long’ was originally released in 2012 and championed by Pete Tong (Essential New Tune) and supported by the likes of Jamie Jones. Damian Lazarus has now signed the duo and along with this re-release there is more to come on the label and the duo also have their debut album in the works.


One of the youngest DJs on the Belgian DJ circuit, Maxime Firket akaCompuphonic broke onto the international scene with a release on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings. Further releases have dropped on highly acclaimed labels including Modular, Darkroom Dubs, Systematic Recordings, 2020 Vision and Parquet Recordings.

 Yousef is a mainstay of UK house music. With a career spanning over ten years, the heavyweight  DJ / Producer and Promoter founded Circus Recordings and events and has appeared on some of the most revered and respected labels in the business - Carl Cox’s Intec, Nick Curly’s Cecille, Saved and of course Sven Vath’s Cocoon Recordings - which released ‘Come Home’, Yousef’s stunning Piece de Resistance.
