<b>Norwegian duo Ost & Kjex make a welcome return to Crosstown Rebels. Their <i>'Private Dancer'</i> EP is a masterclass in producing dance-floor ready rhythms. They welcome fellow Norwegian Whalesharkattacks to the mix to provide her dark yet dreamy vocals.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"We had a fascination with Tina's Private Dancer since first being exposed to it by Pat Sharp on Sky Trax in the 80's. Whalsharkattacks personifies everything that's cool about the 80's, so when we met her we knew we had to cut a version" </i>Ost & Kjex.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>'Private Dancer'</i> is as dark as it is melodic, with eerie drum pads and a medley of dreamt synths. Norwegian vocalist <a href="https://soundcloud.com/whalesharkattacks">Whalesharkattacks</a>, whose music has been described as 808 goth, lends a distorted vocal. On <i>'Nughtingale'</i>, a burdenging bass adds a sense of urgency interlaced with vocal reminiscent of the 80s era. Cosmic synths float side by side samples of beautiful bird song. A titillating work of art with a mesmerizing beat.</div>

<b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/magitcacoon">Magit Cacoon</a> returns to Rebellion with her second EP, <i>'History In The Makin''</i>. A brace of hypnotic originals supply dreamlike soundscapes, with LA-based DAVI remixing second track <i>'Aussi'</i> into a deep technoid realm.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Berlin-based producer /DJ began her electronic journey in her homeland, Tel-Aviv. She started Girl Unit in 2011 and has furnished labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Knee Deep In Sound, Variety Music and Muna Muzik with her hypnotic sound, plus released her debut album '<i>Other Dimension'</i> in 2015 on Upon You Records.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A slow forming construction builds around a sturdy sub-bass and unrelenting percussion line for the opener <i>'History In The Makin''. </i>Magit reveals "<i>The hypnotic, melodic repetition that concentrates itself on the vocal keeps one in the moment, in a crimson red frame of mind...warmth stemming from the beats do not take the fascination off the words sung but instead accompany them, making the track whole".</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
Second track '<i>Aussi' </i>leads with dynamic hat programming, as a calm, spoken vocal sends this already trippy cut into a something transcendent. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/djdavi">DAVI's</a> remix possess more bounce from the off, as he switches Magit's minimalistic trip into a deep techy groover.<br />

<b>The next offering on Crosstown Rebels comes from Italian trio Pastaboys, who gift us with a rhythmic and hypnotic three-parter. They invite the inimitable <a href="https://soundcloud.com/rebolledostyle">Rebolledo</a> to take on remix duties to complete this package.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The EP is a trance-inducing affair. The trio lures us in with opener <i>'Kolo Kolo'</i>. Its funky rhythm sets a precedent as its trance-inducing power builds layer into an intoxicating and hypnotic groove. <i>'Abbassa'</i> is up next. Heavy on the bass, with a sensuality that is palpable. The African vocal adds a tribal touch before the track tumbles into a crescendo of urgent synths. Rebolledo's version of Abbassa is a more cosmic affair, staying true to his psychedelic inclinations and with added a bass guitar groove.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://soundcloud.com/pastaboys-real">Pastaboys</a> have been releasing music since the dawn of the new millenium. They have showcased their tasteful and highly refined productions on imprints such as 83 West and Defected. Releases such as Born Again, Body Resonance, Limit, Hozho, Deep Musique prove that their music is timeless and that dance music is still a matter of groove and soul.</div>

<b>Serge Devant returns to one of his favored labels with his <i>'White Groove'</i> EP, delivering a pair of deep, textured tracks that will vitalize any rigid dancefloor. Archie Hamilton makes his Crosstown Rebels debut and supplies a punchy, tripped-out revision of lead track '<i>White Groove'.</i></b><br />
<br />
White Groove is an absorbing mix of rumbling sub bass, soft, textured percussion, and ethereal pads. Loose percussion and a tough kick carve out the initial vibe on <i>'Connect To Server'.</i> A hypnotizing, low-riding synth is the final layer and helps generate even more groove into this peak time roller.</div>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6WWj7XWS7w/Wpbqaie1pmI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/uhhhnJO-1R4AqwNF0OYpOWfxXPG9b_sPgCLcBGAs/s1600/crmcd036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6WWj7XWS7w/Wpbqaie1pmI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/uhhhnJO-1R4AqwNF0OYpOWfxXPG9b_sPgCLcBGAs/s1600/crmcd036.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In a much anticipated return, one of the scene's most esteemed producers <a href="https://soundcloud.com/davide-squillace">Davide Squillace</a> is back with a ten track album. To be released on Crosstown Rebels this march, '<i>Once Upon A Time In Napoli'</i> provides an eclectic range of both hard-hitting and introspective productions. This release paves the way for an exciting year ahead with several more releases in the pipeline.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prepare to be immediately drawn into the album with effervescent opening track '<i>The Boogie Man'. </i>Exploring a range of wooden percussion, Squillace layers up with distant chord synthesis, statement vocal and a sturdy kick. <i>'In The Mood For Love' </i>follows with an array of drum pad beats developing gradually in to an anticipated second drop littered with claps and sitar-esque melodies. Distorted vocals and incredible percussion, provided by Italian drum guru <a href="https://soundcloud.com/pakipalmieri">Paki Palmieri</a>, form the basis of <i>'Dada Is Back'</i>. <i>'How We Communicate' </i>has an otherworldly feel with gnarled vocals and energetic snares.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>"'</i>Once Upon A Time In Napoli' <i>is the story of my twenty years in dance music</i>. <i>The album covers the many textures of this journey, with influences of the early days in Naples to my Circoloco residency in Ibiza. Ranging from the warmth of classic analogue synths to the crisp precision of digital beats"</i><b> Davide Squillace.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
The second half of the album starts off with a solid kick, chok-full of wildlife samples, <i>'Noah' </i>is a enaging cosmos of indigenous experimentation. The gradual nature of <i>'Holy Motors' </i>leaves the listener hankering for more and carrying on the lively vibe. <i>'Vostok' </i> is not for the fainthearted. Squillace incorporates filthy bass, mad klaxons, cowbells and a whole heap of variety into this exorbitant tune. And finally <i>'Napoli Texas' </i>opens with a delicate symbol and floundering bassline. An excellent example of the renowned producer's dancefloor filling production.<br />
<br />

Deep, rumbling pads swell and fall as subtle shakes entice the senses in title track Boson. Sonder soon follows with melodic bursts and deep chords in dreamy layers. “<i>I made both tracks right after each other and immediately felt they paired up really nicely,</i>” Jonathan reveals. ‘<i>Boson</i>’ is raw, bassy and percussive, whereas ‘<i>Sonder</i>’ holds a certain deepness, a hidden vocal and a lot of different noises. I remember so many nights and days playing them out. They are like the soundtrack of my 2017.“</div>

<b>SIS, the alias of Burak Sar, returns once again to Crosstown Rebels. Following on from releases such 2012's Round Pen, 2015's Sombra India and last year's The Blind Side, The German-born producer - heavily influenced by his Turkish roots - presents us with this tribal-threat.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SIS explains that it was sending his first ever demo tape to Crosstown Rebels in 2004 that initiated his relationship with the label and tells us to "<i>expect some rolling dance floor breakers".</i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>'Karmir Nur'</i> gets the EP underway. Sensual strings abound with a heady, tribal chant that lulls you into a state of hypnosis. <i>'Tima' </i>rolls along, building slowly as the layers pull you in deeper still towards those familiar strings. <i>'Dandini'</i> brings back the tribal chanting. The vocals are backed by mesmeric drums, perfect for an intoxicating, dance floor procession.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pale Blue, the duo of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti, released their debut album too much critical acclaim back in 2015. They come together once again with their latest EP <i>'You Stopped Dying'</i> due to drop on Crosstown Rebels in February.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"The 'You Stopped Dying' EP takes influence from shoegaze groups like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and moves it to the dance floor...The result is a strange hybrid that some have called "technogaze"...This would never work if Liz wasn't such a strong vocalist. Her amazing vocal range makes it easy." </i><b>Mike Simonetti.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaleBlueOfficial">Pale Blue</a> is a hypnotic affair, the driving bass sitting perfectly under Wight's powerful yet ethereal vocals. '<i>Daughter Of Babylon' </i>takes the record into heavier techno territory with its thudding bass and Wight's breathy vocals delicately layered over the top. On the flip side, <i>'Love' </i>is an unapologetically industrial number with screeching synths that echo around Wight's vocals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simonetti and Wight have each earned their musical stripes in their own rights. Simonetti founded the hugely popular <b>Italians Do It Better </b>as well as his own successful record label <a href="https://soundcloud.com/2mrecords">2MR</a>. He has released a slew of records on highly regarded imprints such as <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/1082144-ME-ME-ME">Me Me Me</a>, Correspondant and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/eug">Public Release</a>, and enjoys a fruitful career as a touring DJ, which shows no sign of abating. Wight has previously lent her exhilarating vocals to the West Coast band, <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/3906142-Silver-Hands">Silver Hands</a> of which she was once one half.</div>

<b>Following on from a hectic summer touring across the globe, NY producer Joeski returns to the studio to create his next release, due on Crosstown Rebels in 2018.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The release unfolds with the original version of <i>'I Want You'</i>, a fierce, driving beat is juxtaposed alongside the sensual and smoldering vocal as the bassline rumbles on. Pure 4am, fist pumping pleasure. The flip side introduces the disco mix of the title track. But don't let the 'disco' lull you into a false sense of security. The track is fuelled by intense industrial sounding smashes and an abundance of layers that creep ever closer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A founding member of NYC's The Chocolate Factory DJ Collective, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/djjoeski">Joeski</a> has been a staple in the underground scene in New York since 1991, holding down a residency at the city's famed nightclub - <b>Roxy</b>.

<b>The brainchild of Damian Lazarus, Crosstown Rebels has become home to many big hitters. Following on from his remix of Satori earlier this year, Riva Starr delivers his own, three-part tribal beast, <i>'Adventures In Drums'.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>'My Afrika' </i>opens up the EP with what would appear to be a tribal leader commanding your attention as the wobbly synths draw you in. As the heady bass kicks in you can't help but succumb to the rhythm. On <i>'Eurovoodoo'</i>, alien sounding synths are weaved amongst high hats luring you into a trance-like, hypnotic state. <i>'El Sonido' </i> leans towards a faster, flamenco style sound with tribal singing beckoning you to the dancefloor.</div>

<b>Following on from the Rebellion release at the start of this year, Italian producer <a href="https://soundcloud.com/roweemood">Rowee</a> returns to the label with <i>'Dharmony'</i>. A spiritual offering, the two track EP is a fitting addition to the Rebellion catalogue.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A rich landscape of playful synths, <i>'Dharmony'</i> is a fusion of melodies and harmonies that set the tone for the EP. Rowee was inspired by the Dharma, <i>'a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions. There is no single word translation for Dharma in Western languages. In Hinduism, Dharma is the order that makes life and universe possible, the 'right way of living' '.</i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the B-side, Rowee manipulates <b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/knowkontrol">KnowKontrol</a>'s </b>vocal into a new dimension. Intricate sounds are layered over the baseline, concluding this otherworldly trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rowee is prolific Italian DJ and producer <b>Leonardo Gonnelli.</b> Fresh from his release on Seth Troxler's <a href="https://soundcloud.com/play-it-say-it">Play It Say It</a> imprint and nominated in the category of Best Track at Vicious Music Awards, Leonardo Gonnelli has demonstrated his exceptional talent as a DJ whilst playing at worldwide events such as the legendary Space Miami, Pacha Buenos Aires, BPM Mexico, Dockyard Festival (ADE) in Amsterdam and Sonar.</div>

Let your mind wander free with the first in a new annual compilation series from Crosstown Rebels, allow us to introduce <i>Spirits</i>. Label founder Damian Lazarus has compiled what he describes as “<i>a fresh psychedelic journey into the mind”</i>, aiming to bring together a collection of new artists from both his imprints.</div>

<b>dubspeeka</b>’s <i>Lyssa </i>opens the album with a sturdy bassline, eerie synths and a haunting melody reminiscent of yesteryear. Followed shortly by <b>Audiojack</b>’s <i>Reverie</i>; a heavy kick from the start is succeeded by spoken word on the subject of meditation. Rowee and Know Kontrol incorporate poignant wooden percussion in the intro to Amarantro, the song features absorbing lyrics and a delightfully oblique melody. <i>Be Mine </i>by <b>Siopis </b>featuring <b>Ellbee Bad </b>gets straight into the action with hard-hitting reverberated low notes, steadily building up through sentimental vocals and enticing synthesis. A minimalistic xylophone and drawn out synths form the intro of <b>Magit Cacoon</b>’s <i>Nonsense</i>. <b>Jonathan Kaspar</b>’s <i>Zarun </i>is a sensory delight, littered with unique percussion, a muted kick and siren-like midi sounds.</div>

<b>Alice Rose </b>seduces in <i>Another Way </i>produced by <b>Raw District</b>. Her voice, similar to that of Bjork, perfectly encompasses the heavy bassline and hard-hitting percussion. <b>Robbie Akbal </b>has an ear for a great intro, mysterious sound effects and gradually building drum sounds form the basis for <i>Tavarua</i>. <b>Nico Stojan </b>& <b>David Mayer </b>have gone balearic with <i>Killing Your Lover</i>, featuring vocals from the incredible Jan Blomqvist. Dance Spirit featuring Fab Morvan are up next with Voices, a journey through spiritual vocals and bassy reverb to a rolling kick and percussion-heavy ending. Finally, <b>Pale Blue</b> finishes the album on a high with <i>Journey Into Light</i>, a gradual intro leads the way for an exquisite, yet minimalistic melody and enchanting female vocals.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost one year on from his last release on the label, Athens based <a href="https://soundcloud.com/alexdimou">Alex Dimou</a> releases a stellar EP for Rebellion showcasing his wide musical range over three tracks. The ultra depths of piano driven lead track <i>Tot </i>, the wobbly, twisted rhythms of <i>Define </i> and the tech-house slam poetry of <i>Constellation </i>all showcase the many sides of Alex Dimou.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His debut release for the label, <i><a href="https://krosstownreb-allsounds.blogspot.fr/search?q=alex+dimou">'This Time'</a>, </i>featured Namibian singer Black Soda, which inspired a new collaboration. <i>Constellation </i>was the outcome, which features South African slam poet Lazarusman, well known for his work with Stimming, DJ T and Djuma Soundsystem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<i>I've been working on this EP for the past year. 'Tot' is one of my favorite tracks, where I've tried to blend my routes with newest influences. 'Constellation' came together almost a year agfo. It's a collaboration with <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lazarusman">Lazarusman</a>, an artist I've always admired. 'Define' was made in Paris. During my live performance in a club, I realized that I needed a track with a vocoder vocal so I started working on it as soon as I went back to the hotel" </i><b>Alex Dimou.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Giving us a preview of his forthcoming album <i>MAKTUB, </i>Satori is next to release on Crosstown Rebels with <i>Umama.</i> The single features alongside remixes from three of the most prominent artists today's house scene.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Demonstrating his incredible ability to incorporate world sounds into his music, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/satoriofficialpage">Satori</a> mesmerizes with <i>Umama</i>. Amidst a soirée of African percussion is a soothing hypnotic chant, all encased in alluring synths. Italian legend <a href="https://soundcloud.com/rivastarr">Riva Starr</a>'s jazzy take on the original, integrates the chanting vocal as a futuristic anthem. Louie Vega maintains an ethnic feel. His remix, alongside an instrumental, encompasses futuristic synths with a sturdy kick throughout.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Comprised almost entirely of live instruments, Satori explained how his love for malian desert blues inspired Umama. "<i>I was fascinated by the rhythms, the scales, the harmony and the way they use their voice. I studied it and translated it into electronic music".</i> the song features on his debut album <i>MAKTUB</i> that will be released on Crosstown Rebels on 20th October 2017. In anticipation of his album release, Satori aside from performing his renowned live show, keeps himself busy coaching aspiring writers. Following the recent launch of imprint Brock Wild, Riva Starr comtinues to cement his position as one of the industry's most acclaimed artists. In early 2017 one half of Masters At Work, <a href="http://www.vegarecords.net/">Louie Vega</a> received a Grammy Nomination for Louie Vega Starring...XXVIII in the Best Dance Album category. Joeski has been hard at work in the studio, working solo on '<a href="https://www.discogs.com/Joeski-Lessons-In-Dub-EP/master/1155739"><i>Lessons In Dub'</i></a> for <a href="http://www.pokerflat-recordings.com/">Poker Flat Recordings</a> and the 14th installment of his Maya Sessions podcast.</div>

<b>Combining forces, Audiofly and Patrice Bäumel draw on unique inspirations from the desert to deliver the monumental <i>Atacama</i> on Crosstown Rebels. Having focused solely on his own productions in the past, label boss Damian Lazarus steps away for the first time to complete this exceptional release with a profound re-shape.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hypnotic <i>Atacama </i>intricately builds with a certain intensity that never drops, stimulating the senses and transporting the mind as deep, grumbling pads drift in and out of play. Damian Lazarus remembers "<i>the first moment I heard this track I knew there was something very special about it, not only did it strike me as a killer club record but I also felt the textures completely appropriate to my own experiences in the Atacama desert". </i>On the flip, Damian changes gear as a deep, chugging beat leads the way through an impressive re-shape of the original.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anthony Middleton & Luca Saporito aka <a href="https://soundcloud.com/audiofly" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">Audiofly</a> have established a creative empire, which includes two record labels and their Flying Circus global party brand. They met Patrice during a US tour and immediately hit it off. "<i>It wasn't long after that we decided to invite him to Barcelona for a session that proved to be nothing short of inspirational".</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Internationally renowned DJ and producer, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/patrice-baumel" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">Patrice Bäumel</a> has had a busy start to 2017 with a release on Tale Of Us' <a href="https://soundcloud.com/afterlifeofc/sets/al004-patrice-baeumel-glutes" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">Afterlife</a> imprint, plus remixes for <a href="https://soundcloud.com/kompakt/out-of-time-patrice-baumel-mix?in=kompakt/sets/sasha-feat-polica-out-of-time-1" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">Sasha feat.
