Damian Lazarus’ forthcoming full length album, Flourish, continues to take shape with the release of its second single featuring vocalist Jem Cooke. ‘Into The Sun’ further explores the LP’s broken beat territories with soulful songwriting and cadence that carries it beyond the walls of clubland.

The artists showcased through Damian’s Crosstown Rebels imprint and world-class events are always chosen deliberately and methodically. Jem Cooke’s selection as the only featured artist on ‘Flourish’ is no different. Cooke is known for topline stylings alongside the likes of Camelphat, Jamie Jones, Kate Simko and others. This collaboration offers a left of centre platform for the vocalist to experiment beyond the limits of 4/4, resulting in the swirling exposé of ‘Into The Sun’.

Damian Lazarus X Jem Cooke - Into The Sun

... 'sem mais nenhum pensamento que não fosse o de estar bem, dar e receber amor e desfrutar da música. Afinal é isso que interessa, não é?' ...

EXACTO!!! 
Somos poucos com esta percepção e sensibilidade, mas... SOMOS!!!!!!!!
E este sentimento ninguém nos tira, porque vem de dentro, da SOUL e talvez por esse motivo a 'comunidade' tende a aumentar como que contagiados pelo FEELING que conseguem retirar de nós (a tal pequena 'comunidade' dj's/público amante da qualidade músical). 
É uma tarefa ÁRDUA mas jamais desistiremos de prosseguir este 'caminho', esta 'via'. 
DEVAGAR mas CONSOLIDADO. 
Sim... porque uma vez que se entra por este 'caminho' é impossível inverter a tendência, pois a EXIGÊNCIA toma conta de nós...
Apenas finalizo com um singelo... 
POUCOS MAS BONS!!!!!!!

First of all, let me say this, it’s really not about the technology. It’s about honesty. It’s really about creating from your heart. Creating from the standpoint of wanting to provide a service for humanity, because you care. The second thing is to be aware that it’s your humanity that makes the music, not the chops that you have playing an instrument, or how much you technically know about music. Music is about something a lot deeper than that. Music is really supposed to tell a story about life. So, that’s where your humanity is involved. It’s not just going to school and studying music, which is very important and I encourage that, but not keeping your head stuck in just “being a musician.” If you are connected directly to humanity, you can come up with groundbreaking new ideas that are the beginning of a new pathway, not just the continuance of a path that was set by someone else. This way, you can set a path, and that’s important.
