Serge Devant - This Moment (CRM168)

The magic of music is how it can enchant you after just moments of listening. As the summer draws to an end Serge Devant returns once more to Damian Lazarus's Crosstown Rebels with a release that does just that. Creating two original tracks and bringing Dinky and NU onboard for remixes, we are reminded of his prominent position within Dance Music.

"It's taken some time for this moment to see the light of day...nearly year and half, but it's probably the most anticipated record yet. Ever since Damian put it on his Essential Mix a year ago, every other day someone would ask when it's out. Well the wait is finally over and the moment is here. Enjoy!" Serge Devant.

Opening up the EP with "This Moment", Devant has created a track that implores the listener to stop and take in all the vibrations, effects and melodies. This is a piece of music that intricately weaves together a hefty bass, curious sounds and an effective hom. Pay close attention to 'In Time' and you will be absorbed once more in an enchanting world where all you can do is follow the rhythm of the drums. Devant continues to tirelessly build on his status with releases on Emerald City, Rebellion and Knee Deep In Sound whilst also covering the globe with his touring schedule.

Dinky adds her signature vocals, synths and an incredibly pleasing warmth to her remix of 'This Moment'. German DJ and producer NU also rises to the remix duty as here he creates an almost unrecognizable version of 'This Moment', but one that fits perfectly, as images of heady Bedouin nights are conjured and dance before your eyes. An affiliate of Acid Pauli, NU will once more return to Crosstown Rebels next year when the pivotal 'Man O To' is re-released.
