Serge Devant & Damiano Feat. Camille Safiya - Thinking Of You (CRM183)

Following monumental releases on both Rebellion and Crosstown Rebels, Serge Devant is back on board the label to deliver one of his best to date. The immensely sensual Thinking Of You sees his team up once again with Damiano and Camille Safiya with invigorating remixes from heavy-weights Reboot and Art Department.

Serge Devant has been turning heads since the seminal Fearing Love feat. Camille Safiya dropped in 2015 on Emerald City, picking up the Best Music Video Award at the 2016 Hollywood Independent Reel Film Festival. Serge reveals : "It was so nice to have the same company back in the studio to work on more magic !" 'Thinking Of You' breaths the air of summer with its blissfully smooth chords and deep hypnotic tones. He explains "This record took some time to finish; we recorded so many good vocal bits, it made it difficult to choose what to keep.". Serge also provides an electrifying 'Floor Cut' for those later hours.


Frankfurt's Reboot brings his flavor to the release with intricate percs and deep underlying pads. Growing up in Sven Väth's Omen Club, the talented musician now spearheads the 'New Sound Of Frankfurt' and has released on a wealth of labels like Connaisseur Recordings, Supplement Facts, Combi Int, Moon Harbour, Cadenza and Get Physical Music.

John Monkman -HARMONIX (CRM182)

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP  in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.


A rrue master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to,just one synth, resulting in "interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice".

Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX1 and HARMONIX2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere


Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, toipped the Beatprot charts and releaed on labels including Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir and has recently launched his new imprint Beesemyer Music.
