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.

Mustafa Ismaeel ‘Groove You’ EP drops via Rebellion on 16th June 2023.

Seth Troxler returns to his Play It Say It label next week (Thursday 24th November), with a massive remix of Dino Lenny & Doorly’s ‘The Magic Room’. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of the track above.

Troxler and Lenny have turned in their edit of the track together, which teases with a disco riff and spoken word musings before a huge piano solo takes over towards its close.

Troxler launched Play It Say It in 2014, and has since released artists including Butch, Jesse Rose, Leonardo Gonnelli and The Mekanism on the label.

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Dino Lenny & Doorly’s re-edit of ‘The Magic Room’ above.

The days are longer and lighter already and that can only mean one thing. Summer is on its way…
 
Lee Burridge and Lost Desert return with sunshine days in mind on their ‘Loopyness’ EP.  An apt description indeed for the title track. Its infectious groove rolls forward, making you want to get up and wiggle your hips; this track has funk. A live guitar lifts the track halfway through, as stuttered vocals and string-like synth lines take you away to other worlds. 
 
Over on the other side of the vinyl (or track two for digital fans) is ‘Botanic’. Another summer daze; groovy, light and airy with a slinky fat bassline and a warm breakdown. Music to close your eyes and drift away to, this track has been a firm favourite on All Day I Dream dance floors since last summer. 
 
The EP comes to a close with ‘12CC’. A dubbier groove underpins the whole affair while glass-like melodies and laid back synths sway back and forth. It’s a patient groover that rewards those who take the ride. 

Tracklist: 

A1. Loopyness
B1. Botanic
B2. 12cc

Following two monumental releases on Crosstown Rebels, Serge Devant is back onboard the label to deliver one of his best to date. The immensely sensual Thinking Of You sees him 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 breathes the air of summer with its blissfully smooth chords and deep hypnotic tones it’s another winner from Serge.

Welcomed back onto Crosstown Rebels, No.19 boss Jonny White aka Art Department delivers a raw, techno cut in his Modular Perspective remix. Jonny has seen almost unparalleled success in the world of dance music and continues to be at the forefront of the industry with a huge focus on his record labels and his in-demand label showcases that take the name of his vinyl only label, Social Experiment.

Frankfurt’s Reboot brings his flavour to the release with intricate percussion and deep underlying pads. Growing up in Sven Vath’s Omen Club, the talented musician now spearheads the ‘new sound of Frankfurt’ and has released on a wealth of labels like Circus, Moon Harbour, Cadenza and Get Physical.
