Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM267

Having become one of Crosstown Rebels’ key artists in recent years, Barcelona-born Tibi Dabo returns to the label this February with his latest EP, the four track Isla. Since debuting on the label in 2019, Tibi Dabo (AKA Max Guardans) has cemented his place amongst the Crosstown family with standout EPs such as Disbelieve and The Distance We Share, the latter of which featuring two remixes from David Morales.

Sharing his thoughts on Isla, Tibi Dabo asks “What to do with our time on earth? Find an island of joy and comfort, a modest retreat. A place to stay sane... I was feeling quite empty during our months of isolation, no influences and no external inputs. Then this idea of creating a conceptual island came to existence, an entity where I could play and put contrasting influences of electronic music together in one place. My little island was born, a space I feel as an optimistic outlook towards the future, something that I find hard to achieve.”

Tibi Dabo creates this scene perfectly as the title track opens proceedings, easing the listener in with delicate pads before waves of harmonious elements and finely placed percussions dance in and out of the track. Mothball then further emphasises the artist’s attention to detail as its lead melody and vocal-chops develop in tandem throughout. Brain The Cut follows, acting as a metaphorical signal of nightfall on Tibi Dabo’s conceptual island. Rounding off the release, Arp 8 delivers warming melodies atop of a subtle break beat in an exquisitely emotive manner.

Still in its infancy, yet mature in its intention, the Tibi Dabo project sees Max in his element; drawing on over a decade of playing and making music, perfectly demonstrated on Isla. Emerging from a new generation of multi-disciplined artists, Tibi Dabo’s refreshingly unique sound has also seen him remix for Crosstown Rebels head Damian Lazarus on two occasions. Determined and full of creative energy, Tibi Dabo thrives on producing music with no restrictions and, driven by his own need for exploration together with the support of influential industry figureheads, he has a locker full of fresh new music to unleash.

PREMIERE: CAlinie - Anastaja [BUTA005]

Musumeci returns to Buttress with Days Of Calypso—a mesmerizing and timeless sound, much like the nymph immortalized by Homer. Expect a driving groove, tender melodies, and lush pads that invite you to lose yourself in the horizon.
The second track, Aventura, is a collaboration with Buba, built on a masterful balance of dreamy arpeggios and the unmistakable charm of timeless Italian-style Piano House (yes, it’s worth saying). Close your eyes, turn up the volume, and let the music take you away.

Im Fluss der Zeit

Hailing from Jordan but now based in Spain, Fairplay is an alternative electronic duo characterized by an eclectic and deep approach. With this release on Zatar Music, Faisal and Fuad effortlessly merge sounds and styles, bringing together traditional North African / Middle Eastern influences with trippy, hypnotic grooves.

Teaming up with Houston, TX-based DJ and producer Omar Beik, their new track “Dinyeh” combines drones with lush string flourishes, hand drums, and a driving, techy groove.

The remix by David Mayer and Nico Stojan brings us even deeper into the extended, hallucinatory zone, building a deeply layered and atmospheric vibe perfectly complementary to the original.

“'Dinyeh' means 'the world' in Arabic, and that’s exactly what this track holds inside it," say Fairplay. “Blending warm Arabic textures with deep, driving rhythms, it moves between nostalgia and momentum.
The break is where everything comes into focus – emotional and cinematic, like a memory just out of reach. Dinyeh is a song about longing, movement, and the spaces in between; one foot on the dance floor, one in a dream.”

About the remix, David Mayer says: “My fellowship with Nico started long ago. We met in 2015 in New Zealand, where he offered me to remix ‘The Blue Hour’ feat. JAW for his album, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. After the Fling EP and several other originals in the pipeline, the Fairplay remix is our first remix together. We created the sketch in a bubbly one-nighter and had loads of fun.”

We’re proud to present the fifth release on flurt — Dark Forest EP [FLRT005] — a four-track collection from Russian producer Milost Na Kurorte with a tight, driving rework from flurt artist Roux. 

The originals carry an eerie, stripped-back energy—Milost’s signature sound on full display through sparse rhythms, evolving pads, and deep, textural undercurrents. Each track sits in that liminal space between stillness and motion, inviting listeners to lean into the subtle shifts.

Roux’s reinterpretation of Alchemy’s Room brings a distinct contrast—rolling low-end pressure, sharp percussion, and tightly wound grooves. It’s a punchy, hypnotic take that extends the EP’s atmosphere into a more physical space.

Continuing our focus on forward-thinking minimal, Dark Forest EP adds a new shade to the flurt catalogue—rooted in mood, intention, and detail.

Early support from Barac, Crihan, Cosmjn, Primărie, Leancǎ, Vid, Vlad Arapasu and more.
