Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM272

Chilean-born Francisco Allendes returns to Crosstown Rebels for the first time in six years this May. Serving up the three-track What You Do, the title number has already received global airplay via Damian Lazarus himself. Now, the full release will be made available next month and includes a remix by US-legend Harry Romero.

“What You Do is one of those tracks that happens magically on a jam and you can't really make it much better after that. I wrote it during the pandemic, so I wanted to create a weapon for when clubs would open again. Maratone came about the day after I played b2b with Matthias Tanzmann for thirteen hours, at the birthday of a friend in Ibiza. I sent both tracks to Damian and didn’t hear back from him for a few months... then I woke up to his WhatsApp message. It was a video of him playing What You Do at Space Miami and people climbing the walls of the club!” - Francisco Allendes.

A contemporary dose of four-on-the-floor house, What You Do leaves few prisoners in its wake, as rampant drum patterns converge on a heady combination of kicks, synths and irresistible vocals right the way through. There’s an infectious energy to the track, paving the way for Harry Romero’s similarly up-tempo remix. It’s feel-good, club ready dance music at its best, packed full of low-slung groove that opens neatly into the closing sequence: Maratone, a stripped-back, techy cut that bears all the hallmarks of a true Ibiza anthem.

Hailing from Chile and now based in Ibiza, Francisco Allendes is a leading light in today’s scene. Be it Loco Dice’s Desolat, Steve Lawler’s VIVA or Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, his productions have graced some of the industry’s most well-respected labels. Such quality hasn’t gone unnoticed - he picked up the ‘Best Ibiza’ DJ Award in September 2019 and has gone on to complete several South American tours. A much loved affiliate of ANTS, Francisco has a long standing residency at both Ushuaïa in Ibiza and their affiliated tours, in addition to hosting the weekly radio show.

Seminal American house talent Harry Romero is a well-established figure on the worldwide music circuit. A prominent global DJ and producer since the ‘90s, early productions on Cutting Records and Cutting Traxx helped set the tone for Harry’s career trajectory, opening the doors to a coveted BBC Radio 1 ‘Essential Mix’ in recent years.

Crafted amidst the crisp air of Denver, Colorado, 'Lessons' emerged from the creative fusion of Denney and House hero, Hipp-E. Having jumped into the studio, the pair effortlessly locked in an ice-cold groove before their imaginations soared to warmer climates. Which of course, beckoned the saxophone.

A quintessential soundtrack for the summer season, 'Lessons' encapsulates the spirit of House, with its deep, groovy essence never reaching a peak, but instead delivering nostalgic '90s vibes with a modern '24 flair. True to form, a Hipp-E release wouldn't be complete without a touch of acid. 'Lessons' takes a dip and trip, stripping down to its core elements of percussion, strings, and smooth Rhodes piano to create a fresh bubbling take on the original.

Cali-via-Bilbao DJ and producer JOSAAN, aka Joan Sanchez, has become a familiar face on labels such as Klaphouse Records, Hotfingers, and LW Recordings over the last few years while picking up notable support from tastemakers like Mau P.

The rising talent now enters 2025 with a huge label debut for Junior Jack’s Adesso Music as he unveils the deep and driving ‘Luminous’.

Drawing for gritty drums paired with shuffling low-end, ‘Luminous’ delivers a no-nonsense, stripped-back house anthem where soulful female vox samples wash over groove-laden beats.

Karm is Barraca Music’s freshest starlet. Hailing from Toronto, but raised in Milan from a very early age he is an artist in the purest sense with a fresh and balanced take on world music. Heaven EP is a true blessing for the music lover with a release ranging from the in your face drive of ‘Grubjo’ (alongside Matteo Milleri) to the sweet tones of ‘Dora’ and ending with the deep house burner of ‘Heaven’. A fine introduction to an artist that is soon to be a household name.
