2017 Playlists - Part 2

I will never understand what it means to be a person of color, but I can do my best to empathize with the people who have lived under much marginalization and oppression due to their race. I want to recognize that I use samples and take inspiration from cultures all around the world to create my music. My genre is a blend of my own creativity and that of other musicians, particularly people of color, that have had a profound influence on music since the dawn of time. In particular, African people have shaped almost every genre of music known to man. I also take inspiration from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and many other cultures to create the music that I make.

Umoja is the swahili word for Unity—meaning to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. This song incorporates Mongolian throat sining and Senegalese vocals with trap 808s to create a really fun and high energy song. French is the Senegal national language, and there are over 30 languages spoken in Senegal. So, I chose the Swahili word Umoja for this song to declare that the music that I create is a symbol for unity across borders and across race. I never knew that throat singing and African singing could be so incredible together—and what an amazing world we live in where this is even a possibility.

All of my music, and this song in particular, is a tribute to people of color across the world who have given me the ability to use the incredible musical vocabulary and instruments from their cultures. I want to explicitly express my immense gratitude and appreciation for these people who have shared and given the rights to their music to use in my own creative process. 

I choose to use my undeniable privilege to do my best to make the world a better place for everyone around me regardless of their race or nationality. Everyday I look to see how I can be better for everyone around me and how I can serve the planet more. 

If you are a white musician I would encourage you to also recognize where your music comes from and the people that made it possible for you to create what you create. May we all continue to unify and to not let the powers that be tear us apart and make us villainize one another. With love, respect, and gratitude.

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons return to Crosstown Rebels with the iconic I Found You, remixed by Black Coffee and former resident of Trouw Patrice Bäumel.

Lazarus closed his Day Zero festival in Mexico with I Found You back in January, and since then it has become one of his most requested tracks. His magical live project The Ancient Moons was first unleashed in 2014 with Lover’s Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya) and followed in 2015 by the highly acclaimed album, A Message From The Other Side, co-produced with James Ford. Since then, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons have travelled the world with their highly immersive live show, supported Roisin Murphy on tour and played at Glastonbury festival and Melt! amongst others.

The Fader labelled The Ancient Moons “a journey into techno’s dreamiest recesses” and the four piece have been continually shrouded in mystery. Last year Lazarus and his collection of musicians retreated into the Italian countryside and started work on new and self-produced material. The Ancient Moons brings together Zulu on vocals, Ben Chetwood on electronics, and Rob Gentry on keyboards. I Found You is the first fruits of their labour. Continuing a path first started by the band’s anthemic single Vermillion, I Found You is intensely soulful, warm and paired with anthemic vocals from singer Zulu. This the first of a string of tracks from the band in 2017.

Lazarus comments: “This is the first time I've created music in a band situation and I loved every moment of it. I decided to make the new music as a collective and the four of us have created magic. The energy that we enjoyed from beginning to end of this process was electric."

Champion of the South African electronic scene Black Coffee supplies the first remix, and takes I Found You to new dimensions. This is a rare remix outing from this pioneering South African DJ. Amsterdam based Patrice Bäumel is a former resident of the now legendary Trouw and has released on Get Physical, Systematic, Diynamic, Kompakt and My Favorite Robot among others. Patrice adds complexity and takes things deeper and more atmospheric. It’s quite the package.

Label: Crosstown Rebels | Released: 28th April 2017 | Distribution: Above Board | Cat no: CRM178

Danish artist Be Svendsen combines once more with the Crosstown Rebels crew, following on from his emphatic NU 'Man O To' remix, which landed in late February. The latest collaboration comes in the form of the new 'Twilight in Tankwa' EP, it comes with two original cuts as well as a remix from Berlin native Nico Stojan. Lasse Bruhn Svendsen ,as he's known to his friends and family, has been a proponent of refreshing electronic music since his emergence in 2014 and the work he started continues with yet another special record. The title track is a slow-winding groover that's coated with intricate melodic touches, while an engrossing atmosphere rotates around a punchy drum ensemble. You can listen in full only via When We Dip today as we present the full premiere!
