We at Connaisseur are kids of the 90ies. The music we listened to at the clubs at the time made us and will have a place in our hearts for life. Breaking it down to a few titles is very difficult, but if we were to prepare a playlist featuring music from the 90ies that was utterly important to our musical development, Pete Lazonby’s "Sacred Cycles“ would definitely be included. 

It was January 2019 when we first came in touch with Pete and learned that the artist we have known for over two decades has been back for a while already going by the moniker PADRE and that he has quite some plans. In 2019, he released a stunning single "Sweet Transport“ on Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, followed by an album on the lovely Oleeva imprint and further remixes and compilation contributions. 

2020 we kick off with our PADRE debut. A single featuring two unique tracks for special occasions…

„Greater love had no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends“ is a quote from the bible, purveying neither praising nor praying, but a good example for high moral sense. The first track called "Greater Love“ is quite a long distance runner. Used as the opening track for PADRE’s liveset for a while, this tune instantly creates a cozy atmosphere, while the qualified listener and dancer will undoubtedly hear PADRE’s almost 30 years of ongoing experience with electronic music. 

"Flower and Willow World“ is the translation of the Japanese term "Karyūkai“ which describes the elegant, high culture world, that Geisha are a part of. The catchy and life-affirming main-theme creates an asia-inspired atmosphere that instantly sticks in your mind, exuding a farewell moment. An unusual but touching piece of music, hard to place in a certain corner.

The release is rounded up by a sublime Of Norway remix for "Flower and Willow World“, who transformed it into a melodic and classic-sounding house-bomb. The remix will be released two weeks after the original.

Next up is Steve Bug’s epic Chordwalk Empire, which gets three new treatments as a part of the remix competition to celebrate the label's 20 years.

Like the other two releases carefully handpicked by the artist of the orginal track from hundreds of entries, the standard remains incredibly high and each track is more than worthy of this official release.

The first remix comes from Theobald Ringer - a techno producer from Brest in northern France. His deep rework is a heavy hitter - full of energy and drive, yet maintaining a sense of melancholy and emotion that shine through.

Facundo Sosa is behind the 2nd remix here. The producer from Buenos Aires, Argentina takes things yet deeper with a classy, slick version that adds a spacy, cosmic layer to the track.

Finally, Esteban Howell shares his El Bicho Remix, representing the underground electronic scene of Central America. Howell provides a rework featuring a thick, rolling bassline, and crisp percussion to support the shimmering synths - while also adding a welcome balearic house feel.

The official release features the best 3 mixes while 7 more are exclusively released on Poker Flat's bandcamp page featuring remixes from Chris Sen from Pretoria County (South Africa) who already looks back on more than 50 releases on labels like Sony, Universal Dance, Einmusik, Ein2, Defected, Soul Candi,Stay True or Just Move records, producer, DJ and labelowner (Savia Park) Joshua Gutiérrez aka Slurm from Guayaquil, Ecuador, Vladimir Ivanoff aka Electricano from Riga, Latvia who already played stages like Sensation White, Kazantip, Ministry of Sound tour, Dance Summit, Moonlight Party and more, dark-disco producer Aidan Sealey aka Jousting Sticks from Melbourne, Australia, Slovakian born label owner (Digital Paradox) Sabiani from Prague, Czech Republic, Miklo a coffee drinker, live performer, synthesist, photographer, software developer from Stockholm, Sweden who already released on labels like Deepclass Records, Crossfade Sounds and Transform Recordings and David Granha from Spain who already released on Noir Music, Suara, Unrilis, Octopus, KMS, Respekt and more.

Mark Slee discovers cosmic landscapes in the elements of ‘Seizoen’, his first EP on Cosmic Society. With dreamy strokes and dubby sways in the Remixes of boys be kko and Florian Rietze.

This EP marks his return to the Cosmic Society label, after his sterling remix of Looke’s 'What Else', back in 2018. The title track ‘Seizoen’ is an ode to synths, beautifully sustained by listless melodies and subtle drums, beginning the journey into the spacy micro cosmos Mark brings forth. An air of mystery envelops us in the flavorful tribal drums on ‘Cardamom’. And ‘Dewdrops’ brings the funky house to end the trek through this spacy soundscape. Most excellent additions to this are the astral remix by boys be kko and the deliciously dubby remix by Florian Rietze. ‘Seizoen’ is an EP with many worlds to be explored.

The ends of days are ones with which Damian Lazarus is familiar, but, much like his biblical namesake, he too, has come back from the brink and risen to fight on, his career is interwoven with themes of survival and re-birth. Fittingly then, his second solo album does not wallow in our current dark times, but charts a path of hope. Flourish, offers a glimpse of a new world worth living in and surviving for.

Lazarus is a true DJ, an artist at home taking crowds on incredible journeys across the globe. He averages 150 + shows a year, including his own landmark events like Day Zero and Get Lost. He is nothing if not restless, no down time for Damian. Since February he has holed himself in the studio finalizing and reforming ideas that had been brewing for years. It took a pandemic to ground the DJ, but what emerged is a more fully realized vision of Lazarus as producer.

Flourish takes us through the many lives of Damian Lazarus, who, as he has grown older, and traversed the globe, has come to more deeply examine the role the dance floor plays in his own life and that of others. With parties cancelled, it would have been easy to wallow, but instead urgency took hold, and isolated Italian countryside Damian took the space to tackle the larger questions he has been grappling with for years.

“My early ideas about a new album were quite dark, pessimistic even, I had long been thinking and worrying about the problems of the world. Then the global pandemic and subsequent lockdown began and my fears seemed to become reality. But while writing these themes actually started to transform in an uplifting way. The new songs came together quite quickly, with renewed impetus, and mutated into a more positive outlook. Questions about faith, religion and spirituality all appeared amidst the darkness and fear, but in those times of quiet solitude and creation, I came to realise we can emerge into the sun and flourish on the other side.”

As anyone who has watched Lazarus DJ can attest, his inspirations are deep and varied, criss crossing show tunes, drum n bass, jazz, electro, soul, house, techno and everything in-between. This album reflects his immersion in a multitude of scenes over the years, from the early days of London drum n bass, to his role as a figurehead in the electroclash scene, and of course the significant impact his Crosstown Rebels label has had on contemporary underground house and techno. His shapeshifting is down to his relentless passion for new sounds and scenes, and it’s this dedication to the music that has seen him survive the boom and bust cycles and fads of club culture. It is this commitment to the outer edges of the dancefloor that has welcomed a resurgence of Crosstown as of late, a renewed reminder of Damian’s passion for showcasing the rising and revered alike

Flourish is far from a box of functional DJ tools, in the same way as Damian’s debut album Smoke The Monster Out or the more worldly outings in his brace of albums with the Ancient Moons. It’s a personal, brave and varied body of work. It’s also the work of an artist who has grown over the ten years since his last solo album. Lazarus plays with nuances of texture, tempo and style to create a rich and dense album that takes us on an odyssey that is at times both dark and uplifting. Vocals of his own cast an intimate shadow over the album with those of his sole collaborator Jem Cooke offering a soothing balance amidst the madness.
