Hot on the heels of another impressive Ibiza residency across the summer, Jamie Jones’ iconic Paradise invites  Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based Gruuve to join its growing label roster. The rising DJ/producer hasn’t looked  back since his breakthrough ‘Wrong File’ EP on Deeperfect in 2014, catching the attention of some of the  industry’s biggest names, including Marco Carola, Michael Bibi and De La Swing. Now boasting an extensive  catalogue of releases on Glasgow Underground, Lapsus, MUSE and his own imprint MUUV, he steps up for his  most significant release to date and joins the Paradise family with his ‘Without You’ EP, perfectly timed to coincide  with their annual ADE event. 

“I think this EP says a lot about my career path, and I'm so proud that it will be released on Paradise. I say  this because I always produce music from scratch without track references or templates and try to be as  authentic as possible.  

I produced 'Without You' around 2021, just when I started playing with 303 basslines. My main goal was to  create an underground beat with groovy percussive elements and a catchy vocal to give it more  personality. The synth arp on the breaks adds the perfect dark touch! 'Sher Der Der' was made thinking of  Paradise. My objective was to create a more energetic track, so I put a lot of congas in there and again  used a 303 bassline. I also spent some time trying to find a vocal hook to fit this beat, and I think it was a  good choice." - Gruuve.  

‘Without You’ is a slinking house cut loaded with big synth stabs and warping chimes over rhythmic drums for a  wonky, tripped-out track. ‘Sher Der Der’ then strips things back to a thumping house groove with deep male  chants and ethereal chords, switching up the atmosphere to create the perfect dancefloor weapon. 

Gruuve ‘Without You’ EP drops via Paradise Music on 20th October 2023.

Damian Lazarus presents the sixth volume of his Crosstown Rebels SPIRITS compilation series, boasting an impressive lineup of Lauren Lane, Cristina Lazic, AJ Christou, TMPLE and more.

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.
