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.

Cross End | Crossings Podcast #037 (Summer Edition)

Some art creations stand out because they come from the heart. 'Full Of Love' EP is a masterpiece that incarnates the passion and the talent of the man behind it. For his Crossings debut, @BondarevOfficial has already proven he is an artist with vision. And that his vision makes him second to none. The A-side track 'Full Of Love' blends uplifting melodies with deep and progressive beats in a strangely mesmerizing way that we can only admire and enjoy. The B-side tracks, 'Sansara' and 'A Thousand Miles', are a demonstration of how the flow can take us in a journey through emotions. Where words fail, we let the music speak for this genius who is only getting started.

Release info:

"Crossing the path of a like minded artist is often the start of a life long friendship, successful collaborations and a platform for the artists’ respective communities to interact and grow.

Our Reflection Volume 1 brought together Sander and Vander and was followed by beautiful and dynamic collaborations between their respective communities, Horde Paris and The Gardens of Babylon Amsterdam.

Volume 2 brings together two veteran DJs, our head honcho Cross End and master craftsman Savvas, respectively based in London and Greece.

Shiki is a very special piece, the very first head honcho Cross End releases on Crossings. It is a constantly evolving story, which blends Japanese strings and synthesizers with dynamic drums and a solid baseline – a complex mixture of melodies and dark elements.

Only If is equally complex. It is a melancholic and dreamy piece, with a loopy and hypnotic baseline and beautifully crafted, constantly evolving, pads – a mesmerizing emotional journey."

Pre-Order

PREMIERE: Cross End - Shiki (Original Mix) [Crossings]

Sander (@im-sander) and Stephane Salerno (@compositeur-arrangeur) are back on Crossings with a stellar EP. The title track, Relève-Toi, is a mesmerising piece, with a rich combination of melodies and pads, and a powerful original vocal written and performed by French slam poet Oneiroi.

Globally acclaimed producer Michel Cleis (@michel-cleis) delivers a stunning remix. With releases across the underground spectrum, from super smash hit La Mezcla on Cadenza to releases such as Mir A Nero on Pampa Records, his super-distinctive sound needs no introduction.

As the remix starts, you immediately recognise the rich complexion of Michel Cleis' drums, which provide a perfect balance of festive and hypnotic throughout the track. It goes on to layer one of the original's cinematic vocals and an astounding mixture of melodies, with vintage sounding keys and a disco baseline. The result is wonderful.

The EP concludes with Timeless, a melodic storytelling piece. The constantly evolving conversation between the lead synthesiser, the keys, pads and cinematic vocals conveys a delicate balance between beauty, melancholy and energy – which can sit equally well in a club, on the beach or at home.

Crossings is a London based boutique electronic music label and a platform for artists and local heroes from around the globe and their respective communities to interact and grow.
