Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons - Vermillion (CRM140)

Pete Tong’s ‘Essential New Tune’ last week, ‘Vermillion’ is the lead single for the forthcoming album from Damian Lazarus & the Ancient Moons.  Channeling the magic of those hazy, sunrise parties Vermillion captures the globetrotting influences of Damian Lazarus’s new album.
Transported to glistening new realms, the bubbling deep house rolls beneath the revelatory soul of LA singer-songwriter and guitarist Moses Sumney, is the first of two appearances from the singer on the forthcoming album ‘Message from the Other Side’. Album out May 18th available to pre-order - http://geni.us/MessageFromTheOtherS
Released on 30th of April, ‘Vermillion’ lands with an inter-stellar remix package. French techno connoisseur Agoria leads us on a minimal, spaced out trip through shining synths and swift vocal echoes. Acclaimed house maverick and Hot Creations head honcho Jamie Jones has been closing his DJ sets for the last few weeks with his own remix.  Its bouncing, old school house tip bounding beneath bright gospel turns of phrase, approaching near classic status with arms aloft receptions on the dancefloor.  And finally Berlin’s Deniz Kurtel, who pulls her penchant for polyrhythmic percussion to the fore, casting sweet tribal grooves across an original surely destined to become a dancefloor anthem this summer.

David Pher - Right Here (RBL025)

Continuing a string of impressive releases, Crosstown Rebels off-shot label RebelLion welcomes Berlin based David Pher to the imprint with the double hitter 'Right Here'

"I was speaking to Damian about a release, so I decided to make something that was Crosstown / RebelLion through and through. I found this amazing spoken word poet called Chronfused and everything just clicked" David Pher.

On the A-side 'Right Here' showcases David's ability to produce dark grooves perfect for the dance floor and particularly the after party with twisted vocals and chugging yet sultry beats. On the B-sidde, ' Overpowering Space' grabs you with a bouncing bassline and melodic bell chimes, using percussion and eerie vocals to full effect.

Growing up close to Frankfurt, David Pher discovered his passion for electronic music in Ibiza, which soon led him to move to Berlin after studying Popular Music and Media. His first EP was released in 2008 - 'Harare' quickly becoming a big hit.

From 2009 to 2013, David was part of Steve Lawler's Viva Music family, playing numerous parties worldwide, honing his impressive DJ skills and playing alongside some great artists. His releases can be found on the likes of Ministry Of Sound, Tsuba, Gruuv, Viva Music, Harthouse and many more. This next venture on RebelLion sees David at his best and sets the way for more to come.
