Mixed by Cross End

Our recording series is an ad hoc project, which captures very special moments we shared with friends. 

This second instalment records the soundtrack to an exciting journey, in one of the world's most beautiful places, a journey back in time, to those unique, intimate events, which create a lifetime of memories. 

Organised by some of North Africa's most talented promoters, in a spectacular valley at the edge of the Great Eastern Sand Sea, Tembaine's first edition will stay engraved in the memories of all those who attended, and which undoubtedly yearn to return. Friends, see you next year.

Recorded at Tembaine (February 2021)
Aired on Crossings's monthly Proton Radio Show (July 2021)

We look forward to the next edition of this outstanding event organised by Aziz Kallel, Fares Amara, Neila Bourourou, Said Louzir and their fantastic team.

Recording #002 - Cross End at Tembaine, Sahara Tunisia

Halloween is always a special affair for Londoners - a night where creation is at the forefront of an entire city - harnessed to its full potential by Boneca's Halloween weekend extravagenza.

Head honcho @crossend had the privilege to return to this institution this year playing alongside partner in crime Majdo and opening for &Me and Rampa. 

This set gathers the soundtracks to this very special weekend. Part 1 is a record of Cross End's opening set on Saturday. Part 2 was recorded by Cross End at a later private event, a natural progression, consistent with the inspiring dynamic interactions and festive musical direction of a Halloween in London.

An apt soundtrack for our last Crossings on Proton of 2021.

Crossings on Proton #038 - Cross End (Records of Halloween Part 2)

It's been a very long time since the last Tortuga. I have been busy working on producing tracks in the past few months (which I will upload soon). I've gathered some of my favourite tracks of the the last 6 months for this mix. As you'll see it slightly harder than usual. I hope you like it!

The Tortuga Podcast No 25

Our recording series is an ad hoc project, which captures very special moments we shared with friends.

This third instalment records the second half of our head honcho @CrossEnd 's opening set at Boneca w/ @MaceoPlex at Porchester Hall in Notting Hill London.

This recording brings three journeys full circle - back in time, to Get Lost Miami in March 2011, where Cross End, together with friends (including a future founder of Boneca), witnessed the very first ever performance of Maceo Plex. A recording of one of those special nights, which includes unreleased Crossings material from @BadinBrothers , @SwannDecamme, @OktaveMusik and @Endless.nl.

Recording 003 - Cross End @ Boneca London w/ Maceo Plex

Our recording series is an ad hoc project, which captures special moments we shared with dear friends.

Habibi is a place of legends, an intimate underground venue, which is run by, and brings together pioneers of the Tunisian underground techno and house scene, alumni of The Plug, HYPE and Art Fair.

It is the home to DA CHE's House of Habibi residency, an inclusive gathering of music lovers, curators, actors of the local underground music scene and friends.  A night where artists can play freely to a friendly and sophisticated crowd and take risks, to develop their ideas, sound and unique identity. 

This recording is the soundtrack to a night in Gammarth, a reunion of dear friends,  with a shared passion for house music, a cycle which started with a Renaissance CD, a night at The End and a shared history that comes full circle.

Avalanche (unmastered Snippet)

Flying Cats is featured on Traum Schallplatten's new compilation "Tour De Traum VIII", alongside tracks from Dominik Eulberg, Extrawelt, Max Cooper and others. 

The compilation has been mixed by Riley Reinhold and has received support from Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and Nick Warren amongst others.

Different Grooves on Flying Cats:
"Space, loneliness and a certain comical effect, create an absurdity very alive and human not unlike Stanislaw Lem’s short stories. Cross End’s “Flying Cats” is a track that grow even more on you each time you listen to it."

The Tortuga Podcast No 21 - for Myad

As we move on with life, we sometimes have to leave behind loved soulful places, places where we lived and shared some of our best memories. Ifield Road is one of those places. A place where I've had unforgettable memories, and built lifelong friendships. This mix is dedicated to this magical place and all the friends I had the privilege to share memories with, recorded live during the last sunrise in Ifield.
