microCastle returns for its third release of 2018, welcoming Kevin Jamey aka Groj to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Montreal, the Canadian artist shot into the spotlight this year with a trio of releases on fryhide. Kevin’s unique combination of rich design, compelling melodies and new wave vocal stylings have made him one of the underground’s most intriguing acts. The festival anthem ‘To Know You’, coupled with his HOSH collaboration ‘Jedi’, made for a hugely successful summer season. Now making his much anticipated microCastle debut, Groj presents his 'Bunk Up' artist showcase alongside a remix from Clarian.

Spread across four tracks 'Bunk Up' is a collection which transcends barriers and captures the imagination of electronic music connoisseurs. Beginning with the spirited vibes of the title cut, it becomes immediately apparent just how far Groj’s artistic scope reaches. Pulsating energies move in free flowing fashion, as esoteric vocals pierce the air, while impassioned melodies add a hopeful charm. Much like the Canadian's live shows where emotive shifts are at a premium, the narrative evolves into the techno inspired beats of ‘Five Roses’. Raw and industrial at points yet melodic and moving at others, it’s a dramatic creation perfectly dialled for a clued up dance floor. Prophetic in delivery, the storyboard then melts down into the EP’s closer ‘Rhyody’; a reflective, uplifting slice of melodic minimalism that’s already found favour with Dixon and Âme. 

The lone interpretation of ‘Bunk Up’ is provided by Clarian who also makes his label debut here. The renowned musician and Montreal native has long been one of electronic music's most fascinating artists. His fresh, organic and masterfully creative productions have found a home on Life & Death, Kompakt, Turbo Recordings, Rumors, Anjunadeep and My Favorite Robot. Now fresh off collaborations with Tiga and Felix Da Housecat, along with the release of his debut album ‘Television Days’, Clarian makes his microCastle debut with a stunning rendition of ‘Bunk Up’. Synonymous with creating innovative, out-of-the-box productions, the Canadian artist draws on the new wave techno sensibilities of the original, reinventing them in an eccentric blend of 80's nostalgia and quirky psychedelia.

The final composition aptly reflects both artists. ‘Bunk Up’ is an elegant and evocative EP that artfully balances its nostalgic hints with a resolutely modern stimulus.

'At the command of the 27th Rural release, we welcome Nowhere People, Oliver Klostermann & Barber!

On this ep, he builds a perfect duality between organic rhythms and a typically electronic tension articulated around a hypnotic and percussive groove.

Klostermann & Barber´s remix goes towards the melodic side, helped by accurate rolling rhythm elements.

They shape here a personal and captivating piece of modern art.'

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMCD040

Following on from the Moment in the Dark EP featuring remixes from Adam Port, Satori and Tibi Dabo, Damian Lazarus celebrates the tenth anniversary of his acclaimed debut album Smoke the Monster Out, with the release of a remastered and expanded edition on his own label Crosstown Rebels.

A decade ago I released my debut solo album on the label Get physical. It was the first time I’d let myself loose in the studio and what came out was a psychedelic collection of extremely strange and bizarre songs. I wanted to make an album full of my inspirations and influences, for exotic after parties, and with no consideration about necessarily getting played in the clubs. It divided opinion at the time and seemed to defy easy categorisation. My own sonic curveball. Here we are ten years on. I’m pleased to report that ‘Smoke The Monster Out’ is still as weird as it ever was. Still genre proof. Still an ‘album’ in an era of tracks and playlists. Now forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels, remastered and with three bonus tracks from the original studio sessions, it’s ready to confuse everyone all over again!

Smoke The Monster Out, originally released in 2009, was the first time Damian had written and produced his own music. Known across the globe for founding the Crosstown Rebels label, his captivating DJ sets and divergent Lazpod podcast series, his debut album is an emotional and humorous expression of his genre-defying imagination.

Following ongoing experimentation with lyric writing and production, Damian invited Arthur Jeffes (son of the Penguin Café Orchestra’s Simon Jeffes), Classic records head honcho Luke Solomon and Mark Ralph (then a member of Filthy Dukes and now a world renowned producer for the likes of Clean Bandit, Years & Years, and Jax Jones) into the studio with him. The result was a unique blend of music that represents Lazarus’ personality and vast experience of the dark and light moments that are captured on the dancefloor. The Guardian went as far as describing the album in 2009 as: “Less troubled and deep than Björk's Debut, it still captures the atmosphere of late-night clubland – the transcendent freedom, the fuzzy unreality, the implicit emptiness, the dysfunction – with a similar potent accuracy. That it does so by fusing Ricardo Villalobos and Robert Wyatt, and slipping in a Scott Walker cover, might explain why it is not being hailed as one of the crossover albums of the year. But it is."

Ten years on the album that draws on inspiration from: techno and house, rock and pop and drum and bass, still remains as challenging and exciting as it was upon its initial release and will capture the attention of both new and old fans alike.

Everything about Smoke The Monster Out feels idiosyncratic, direct and carefully thought-out: both the artwork and the title (which references Alice in Wonderland) evoke Lazarus’s interest in the loss and the return of innocence, the imagery of fairytale fables, and the battle to control and satisfy the emotions without losing sight of humour. Lazarus has a vision, and isn’t afraid to realize it. He continues to live this vision through the music released on his label, the groundbreaking festival he curates Day Zero and the story that unfolds during his DJ sets to audiences around the world every week.
