On It (Extended Mix)

Dennis Cruz delivers the landmark 300th release on Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint with ‘The Snake Charmer’ EP, featuring collaborations with Ian Ludvig and the label boss himself.

An artist at the height of his powers, arriving off the back of his busiest Ibiza season to date, it’s safe to say that Dennis Cruz is a man in extremely high demand within the global electronic landscape. Founder of his own labels MÜSE and CRZ, while featuring as a key member of the Solid Grooves Family, Cruz’s longstanding ties to Crosstown Rebels date back to his debut in 2018, featuring as a regular on the label and at their extensive global events from fabric London to Miami’s renowned Get Lost extravaganza since. Returning to the imprint following his excellent album ‘Roots’ in 2021, plus his recent contribution to the 20th Anniversary compilation with his remix of Pier Bucci’s ‘Hay Consuelo’, Cruz is back in emphatic fashion as he marks the 300th release in the label’s revered catalogue with his latest EP ‘The Snake Charmer’ - featuring two solo tracks alongside collaborations with fellow Crosstown signee Ian Ludvig and label founder Damian Lazarus himself.

A master of crafting rolling arrangements with subtle nuances that keep dancefloors locked in unison, the four tracks across the package see Cruz experiment even further as he showcases a global array of influences. Opening track ‘Snake Charmer’ welcomes a crisp organic percussion arrangement accented by eastern flutes through to snaking grooves and hooky female vocal samples throughout, while ‘Revolution’ welcomes an all-star cast as he links with Damian Lazarus for a heady, skippy slice of house merging hazy chords and bright stabs with vocals from contemporary Detroit nightlife icon and staple DJ Holographic.

On the flip, the Spaniard once again steps out solo and dives deep into a low-slung and playful groove on ‘Time Out’, introducing a wealth of vibrant vocals amongst blossoming melodies and soulful organ riffs, before closing the show as he joins Ian Ludvig to present an off-kilter, impactful and warping closer guided by provocative vocal snippets across ‘Pain Away’.

Bora Uzer 'Street Love' EP - Out now on @NervousRecords 

Stream/Download: https://borauzer.lnk.to/streetlove

Release Date: May 31, 2024



"With a bold flex of their increasingly supple A&R muscle - here we see NYC's prodigal sons, and chief-scene servers - fire up the every-fan seater, Nervous learjet; for an exclusive musical jolly to the ever-evergreen shores of Ibiza.



And stepping up to the soundtrack plate - box-fresh and powder dry, in their maiden outing for the label - is one, Bora Uzer. A new name to many eyes and ears no doubt; but, to have been entrusted by such a discerning stable, to handle one of their flagship, Ibiza facing, Summer releases - leaves little doubt as to how talented and safe a pair of club-primed hands we’re talking here.



First up, we have - ˙Magic Kind˙ - a track that manages to be many things all-at-once, without the fussiness, pretensions or persona issues that often come in tow. It terms of club dynamics - it packs a brand, simply pitch-perfect and made-to-measure for the hallowed terraces of Ibiza; whilst the tone, approach and melodic character harnessed - manage perfectly to encapsulate, in one tight 6 minute morsel - that rare and singular kind of magic, only ever truly felt on a white-isle dance-floor. At its core is a steadfast and thickset rhythm section; through which an expansive, undulating bass-line flows freely throughout; whilst - adding that beatific, Balearic sparkle above - is an instrumental menagerie of free-roaming strings, wind and percussion.



Snapping at its heels on the flip meanwhile, is ˙Street Love˙; a track full of verve, that’s doused in that same lush, enveloping warmth, that much of classic era Detroitian House, so readily pedalled. With its bounding bass-line; stout, compact beats and rousing 808 snare rolls - it’s a far more heads-down and urgent affair than its sibling.



However, the gratifying technical glue binding both cuts together here, is firstly in the crisp staccato stabs that pepper each stave with a refreshing 'live-cut' looseness, and ad-hoc regularity; and secondly - via a loving hand - the way in which many of the sounds have been washed, ever so gently with delicate reverb and gating.



Aspects which, overall, only serve to further crystallise that air of sun-shocked, blue sky-cloaked romance… leaving you gagging to hear both numbers, in their rightful, Mediterranean club-setting this Summer, at the next given opportunity.”
