We’re happy to announce to familiar faces back to the mothership: Chloe Raunet aka C.A.R. has been a long time friend and made her first appearance on the label with Maceo Plex on “Mirror Me”. Dj and producer extraordinaire Patrice Bäumel certainly doesn’t need much introduction. “Four Down” shows the duo in a rowdy mood. There’s a very welcome punk-ish attitude to the song that is set to brush today’s polished dancefloors against the grain. Here’s what C.A.R. has to say in her own words: “Some collaborations are meant to be. I first met Patrice at Trouw over a decade ago and we instantly hit it off. When he sent me this idea back in lockdown, it wasn’t something I could come up with musically, but words came easy and the song wrote itself. Bouncing ideas back and forth through the ether doesn’t always work, but when you just get each other, distance doesn’t matter and stepping outside your comfort zone can bring about the best, most fun and spot-on results!”

Matador makes his debut appearance on Crosstown Rebels with his absorbing new EP ‘My Yellow Coat’, accompanied a  remix from NYC house and techno favourite Levon Vincent.  

An outstandingly technical live artist, DJ and producer, Matador, real name Gavin Lynch, has a prolific discography with releases on  renowned labels such as Minus, Hot Creations, and Cocoon. A resident at Richie Hawtin’s iconic ENTER series in Ibiza, the past decade has  seen the Irish talent tour the globe consistently with performances at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and clubs, including  Awakenings, TimeWarp, and Neopop, while featuring in Resident Advisor’s ‘Tip 20 Live Acts’ on three separate occasions. ‘My Yellow Coat’  marks his first appearance on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, describing the debut as “a result all round” with the imprint featuring as a  personal favourite of his over the years. 

“I wrote the EP as one of the first projects in my new studio in Ibiza in 2021. I’d been listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem and  more electronic rock-leaning sounds, really good riffs and wonky synths. I have a Roland VP330 here that was running slightly out  of tune at times, the oscillators in the string section, so I used that and played everything in for both tracks and recorded some  vocals processing them through various effects. Then I tied it all together with an 808. It was a limited set-up using old equipment  and utilising the imperfections, and that’s what it was all about – not correcting or quantising everything but letting the instruments  speak as they were. So that’s pretty much how the tracks came about, and I’m so happy that Damian connected with them and  that the EP is going out on Crosstown, one of my favourite labels” - Matador.  

The EP features two original tracks, ‘My Yellow Coat’ and ‘What You Say Is So’, showcasing a dynamic approach to electronic music with a  deep dive into rich beds of emotive and spellbinding tones. Title track ‘My Yellow Coat’ is a slow-blooming and delightfully suspenseful  production guided by the track’s charming vocals as soft synth melodies and refined percussion build gracefully across its eight-minute  duration. ‘What You Say Is So’ is again rooted amongst captivating tones and subtle background textures before the lead melody emerges  and places itself at the forefront of the mix. 

Novel Sound boss Levon Vincent’s dynamic interpretation of the title cut welcomes a new side to his expansive sound, building on his  distinctive sound palette and welcoming a shift towards faster realms. He explains, “I saw the remix as an opportunity to step out of my  comfort zone, musically speaking, and to make something at a faster tempo. I wanted to do this to at least recognise what has happened in  techno in recent years with faster BPMs. It just seems a little rude to live in Germany and not even comment once on these fascinating beats  happening in techno. I don’t play that fast, but for me, it was an opportunity to make something that shows I’ve not disregarded any dialogues  happening around me”. 

He adds, “It was exciting to work with these vocals from Matador and to mix ‘em up and get creative with them. I kept the same fundamental  frequency of the original tune and used it as a foundation to build my own tonal universe, a scale which consists of several just intervals and  some that reflect PHI, or 1x 1.618- and the square root of PHI, which is 1x1.2720”.
