Following collaborations on Crosstown Rebels and Saved Records, UK talents Denney and James Dexter get set to release the spell-binding Lucid Dreams on Rebellion this May.

The release represents the musical middle ground of both Denney and James’ individual sounds and the power of this production duo is one to be reckoned with. Title track Lucid Dreams is a lushious, deep number that Denney describes as “groovy, dark and melodic... a track that works any time of night.” Eternal Space is a brooding, moody cut with tribal-like drums and eerie vocals, aimed at the late night floors.

From being Mixmag’s youngest ever “Future Hero” back in 2004 and signing his first ever release to Saved Records in 2005, North-Eastern star Denney has gone on to achieve great things. His smash hit Ultraviolet was signed by Hot Creations, leading to huge international success with releases following on the likes of Crosstown Rebels, VIVa Music, 2020 Vision, Knee Deep In Sound and Moon Harbour. Having spent several years immersed in London's underground house music scene, Inermu boss James Dexter is a name now well recognised. With releases across a host of well-respected labels including Crosstown Rebels, Poker Flat, Gruuv, PIV, Moan and Cyclic, James has quickly emerged as one of the UK's brightest talents with regular chart success across a number of leading music platforms.

'As is evident in other Midtown House releases, Nightdrive’s “Summer Sunsets” EP, the label’s fourth official release, creates a palpable, metropolitan, story-like feeling of motion. The St. Petersburg-based producer offers up a five track, interpretive story rich with unique sound elements that showcase Nightdrive’s production aptitude. Each track provides a different road to travel on. Voluminous moods are drawn through the ornate production quality, all while maintaining a constant track of movement. This is the Russian producer’s first release on Midtown House, joining one of the fastest-growing electronic labels currently operating out of Manhattan.'

Damian Lazarus presents ‘Mountain’ - the opening single from his first solo album for over 10 years.

Released on the 24th July, ‘Mountain’ is a fusion of darkness and light circumnavigating the outer edges of the dance floor. Complete with a Balearic infused remix from Tornado Wallace and deep-chugging transcendental Tibi Dabo Remix to throw the arc wider still. This new body of work, written and recorded by Lazarus at home in Italy during lockdown, is entitled ‘Flourish” and will be released on the 4th September on Crosstown Rebels.

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.

'Todd Terry protégé Ant LaRock has provided some gems for Exploited Ghetto previously in the form of ‘Grown Ups’ and ‘When’, and this latest effort are by far his strongest productions to date.
‘For You’ is a spacious, heads-down, pacey deep house / tech romp with soft acid tones, pulsing stabs, shuffling beats and a whistling arpeggio which pulls you into the delicious depths of Ant’s artistry. It’s the type of track that makes you pull that satisfying stink face, it’s so darm good.
This is one of two tracks on Ant’s latest release, the other track named ‘Alkebulan’, which centres around a rousing Afro chant, and splices deeper house and techno flavours in equal measure. Roland Clark’s vocal gives a dramatic edge, spinning a narrative yarn over the peppy percussion and subby bass tones. Blasts of low-slung synth drama swoop in and out dramatically before they switch to an uplifting chord progression.'
