Crosstown Rebels sub-label Rebellion welcomes back Toronto-based DJ/producer Mustafa  Ismaeel for his ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring collaborations with Dilby and Enamour.  

Iraqi-born Canadian artist Mustafa Ismaeel has been a vital part of the Toronto underground scene and is now  sharing his music and energy across the globe. Releasing on contemporary labels such as The Soundgarden,  Steyoyoke and Manual, as well as Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion, his musical output aims to constantly redefine his  musical boundaries, with groove and emotion as the key to his material. Returning to the label following his recent  appearance at Get Lost during MMW, he serves up a trio of considered and cultured house records across his  ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring a pair of classy first-time collaborations. 

“With this release I tried to focus on the groove while conveying emotions in a subtle manner. I followed a  more intuitive and practical approach with tracks that simply work on the dancefloor. Collaborating with  Enamour, Dilby and the vocalist Shar has been a real treat as we had an effortless understanding of each  other’s vision.” - Mustafa Ismaeel. 

The EP opens with solo production and title cut ‘Groove You’, a seven-minute roller with gritty claps and  percussion over rich bass designs. Add warm, swirling pads and a hypnotic lead synth next to the steamy vocals,  and you have an emotionally intense cut. 

Next comes the first collaboration with Dilby, a tastemaker with releases on labels like 8Bit, Saved and Bondage  Music. Together they cook up ‘Twisted Mind’ featuring Shar, a deep house sound with supple drums and bass  underneath emotive vocals that bring the soul to this heads-down groove. Closing the EP is ‘Nothingness’  alongside LA-based talent Enamour, whose dynamic and powerful sound has taken him to labels such as Last  Night On Earth, Get Physical Music and Factory 93. Their collaboration is a brilliantly chunky mid-tempo house  groove with sensuous sax motifs, lush chords and muttered vocals, bringing a sense of late-night intimacy.

Since its debut in 2017, Damian Lazarus’ annual ‘SPIRITS’ series on Crosstown Rebels has been a beacon for breakthrough artists, setting the label’s agenda for the year ahead. The sixth instalment in February is another meticulously curated lineup with ‘SPIRITS VI’ featuring a blend of new and recognisable talents, including Lauren Lane, Cristina Lazic, Iñigo Vontier, AJ Christou and many more.

London-based talent Cameron Jack kicks off what looks set to be a breakout year with ‘The Vision’, a bubbly and tropical cut with cosmic synths and loose, jumbled rhythms. Chris Bowl then brings his emotional style to the deep, rolling beats and fresh melodies of ‘Silent Plain’, while NY-born, LA-based house tastemaker Lauren Lane layers in smoky pads and tender whispers to her sublime deep house cut, ‘Fair Game.’ Next, German talent and Degree Records head Marc Lenz brings darker vibes to his track ‘People Are People’, while Rebellion artist Cristina Lazic and previous Lazarus collaborator Leia Contois combine for the alluring vocal soul and gritty minimal drums of ‘So Deep’.

Mexican Iñigo Vontier is a pioneer in his homeland after crafting a global reputation, and his twisted synths, shiny textures and steely drums on ‘That Trippy Sound’ prove why as they work you into a trance. Next is influential Manchester-based DJ/producer AJ Christou, who has released on the likes of Hot Creations and Cuttin’ Headz. His track ‘Back & Forth’ brings an infectious groove with plenty of flair and catchy drum funk, before TMPLE shuts things down with the deft, airy grooves and floating bass of ‘The Girl In The Room’, complete with its tender male vocals.

At the forefront of electronic innovation, Crosstown Rebels stands as a pivotal platform and record label, reflecting the genre’s diversity and housing an impressive roster that includes renowned artists and household names like Art Department, Maceo Plex, and Jamie Jones. With sub-labels Rebellion and Secret Teachings in tow, the imprint consistently and continuously expands its musical canvas, creating an immersive landscape for leading and emerging talents to thrive.

‘Crosstown Rebels present SPIRITS VI’ drops via Crosstown Rebels on 2nd February 2024.
