Nick Curly - Mute Navigator THE REMIXES by Black Circle & Matthias Meyer

Premiere: Nick Curly - Mute Navigator (Black Circle Remix) [Radiant.]

An innate tendency to inspire chemistry between virtuosos of ancient Greek folk instruments and a keen ear for making music with both the reveller and thinker in mind has ensured Valeron a beacon-like status on the Mykonos electronic music scene both as a DJ and producer. Valeron explores a new musical lexicon with "Aminta", leaning towards afro-house with deep vocals, melodic flutes and a range of synths. Riding the line between playful and professional, this is classic Valeron.

A career spent DJing across the globe was the catalyst for Damian Lazarus’s latest project – Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons. Masterminded by Lazarus the album brings together a wide assortment of vocalists, collaborators and players from around the world. Taking inspiration from Lazarus's Lazpod series, Get Lost events and Day Zero festival in Mexico, this is music for deserts, jungles and sunrises.

Kicking off in LA, Lazarus was joined at the production controls by James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco, Arctic Monkeys, Florence) as the album moved to London, and then final recording sessions completed in Mexico . The resulting album, ‘Message From the Other Side’, is a revelation. It runs the gamut from the wonderful Qawwali-flavoured techno of last year’s alternative dance hit ‘Lovers Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya)’ to the African-tinged house of ‘Sacred Dance of the Demon’, dense dark ambient of ‘Inner Core’, and the bubbling depths of forthcoming single Vermillion, this is a rich and ambitious album. Lazarus brought together the widest range of musicians to achieve his goals. Initially there was Moses Sumney, an LA singer-songwriter and guitarist whose vocals light up the dynamic deep house groove of ‘Vermillion’, and the epic closing number, ‘Tangled Web’. Lazarus’s long-standing friend and associate Ali Love, contributes vocals to the soulful groove of ‘We Will Return’. Other collaborations came from further afield. Hossam Ramzy, an Egyptian master- percussionist, most famous for his work on Jimmy Page and Robert Plant’s ‘No Quarter’ album laid down the amazing rhythm tracks for the Ancient Moons. ELEW (Eric Lewis), an American jazz pianist played a ‘treated piano’ in an unexpected, experimental way. Lazarus and Ford turned to Andrew Waterworth, double bassist with the acclaimed Penguin Café for the album’s lush string arrangements courtesy of Mexico’s Yucatan Symphony Orchestra.

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons - Vermillion

The new single 'We Will Return' from Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons is due for release 13th November on Crosstown Rebels.

Back from a whirlwind tour this summer that included Glastonbury, Melt & Wilderness festivals plus a much-lauded residency at Heart in Ibiza, performing Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons’ eccentric and immersive debut album for the first time, the band unveil their third single, ‘We Will Return’. 

Co-written by Ali Love, who also features on vocals, ‘We Will Return’ is remixed by Love’s own Infinity Ink project, Serge Devant and Joeski and veers the Moons back to the dancefloor.

Mixmag "Message From The Other Side represents a display of progressive mastery that brims with finesse and leftfield invention." 

Thump "Dim the lights and lock into one of the most immersive and mind-fucking albums of the year."

XLR8R "a great piece of studio artistry, a rich and fulfilling work"

We Will Return

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons - We Will Return

Listen and pre-order here: https://lnk.to/CRM178 

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons return to Crosstown Rebels with the iconic I Found You, remixed by Black Coffee and former resident of Trouw Patrice Bäumel. 

Lazarus closed his Day Zero festival in Mexico with I Found You back in January, and since then it has become one of his most requested tracks. His magical live project The Ancient Moons was first unleashed in 2014 with Lover’s Eyes (Mohe Pi Ki Najariya) and followed in 2015 by the highly acclaimed album, A Message From The Other Side, co-produced with James Ford. Since then, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons have travelled the world with their highly immersive live show, supported Roisin Murphy on tour and played at Glastonbury festival and Melt! amongst others. 

The Fader labelled The Ancient Moons “a journey into techno’s dreamiest recesses” and the four piece have been continually shrouded in mystery. Last year Lazarus and his collection of musicians retreated into the Italian countryside and started work on new and self-produced material. The Ancient Moons brings together Zulu on vocals, Ben Chetwood on electronics, and Rob Gentry on keyboards. I Found You is the first fruits of their labour. Continuing a path first started by the band’s anthemic single Vermillion, I Found You is intensely soulful, warm and paired with anthemic vocals from singer Zulu. This the first of a string of tracks from the band in 2017.

Lazarus comments: “This is the first time I've created music in a band situation and I loved every moment of it. I decided to make the new music as a collective and the four of us have created magic. The energy that we enjoyed from beginning to end of this process was electric."

Champion of the South African electronic scene Black Coffee supplies the first remix, and takes I Found You to new dimensions. This is a rare remix outing from this pioneering South African DJ. Amsterdam based Patrice Bäumel is a former resident of the now legendary Trouw and has released on Get Physical, Systematic, Diynamic, Kompakt and My Favorite Robot among others. Patrice adds complexity and takes things deeper and more atmospheric. It’s quite the package. 

Label: Crosstown Rebels | Released: 28th April 2017 | Distribution: Above Board | Cat no: CRM178

I Found You

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons - I Found You

Damian Lazarus’ magical live project The Ancient Moons returns with their new single Five Moons. 

The band led by Lazarus, is comprised of Ben Chetwood on drums, Rob Gentry on keyboards, and new vocalist J Appiah. On Five Moons they are also joined by the Australian punk sensation Chela for a dubbed out, soulful excursion into the darker recesses of the dancefloor.

The Ancient Moons first debuted in 2014 with Lover’s Eyes, and followed that with the acclaimed album ‘Message From The Other Side’, dubbed a “a journey into techno’s dreamiest recesses” by The Fader and a “psychedelic masterpiece’ by Vice. Since then The Ancient Moons have travelled the world with their highly immersive live show, supported Roisin Murphy on tour and played at Glastonbury festival and Melt! amongst others.

Last year the band resurfaced, after locking themselves away to record in the Italian countryside, with I Found You, which nabbed a BBC Essential New Tune and stunning remixes from Black Coffee and Patrice Baumel. Today Five Moons offers another glimpse into this summer’s forthcoming album.. 

Remixes of ‘Five Moons’ from Jamie Jones and Luciano are to follow.

Five Moons

Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons feat. Chela - Five Moons (Original)

Taken from the forthcoming Moons album 'Heart Of Sky', the new  single ‘Fly Away’ has been described by Lazarus as “a cosmic love story”.

Heart of Sky is ebulliently fronted by Jesse Appiah, the rising London singer who’s worked with Michael Kiwanuka, Jamie Woon, Kwabs and Jess Glynne. He is joined by Ben Chetwood, session musician and MD who has worked with everyone from Rudimental to King Krule, plus the Heritage Orchestra’s Rob Gentry, and, of course, Lazarus himself. With a guest appearance from Australian singer Chela on the recent single ‘Five Moons’.

Heart of Sky was recorded in Monastic Studios, Lazarus’ custom-built studio overlooking the Mugello mountains, deep in the heart of Tuscany. It combines Lazarus’s cosmic world influences with his love for ‘80s soul/funk. “The world influence is still there but it’s subtler,” Lazarus explains, “I’ve been digging in crates, searching for interesting, weird music in Middle Eastern record fairs. These inspirations appear throughout the new record, but after touring I knew I wanted to write the next record with the band, utilising the power of a soulful vocalist at the front. My background is very much in soul music. I started buying records when I was 12, listening to pirate radio stations in London, going to soul all-dayers, jazz-funk, rare groove, I spent every penny on records with strong vocals and hooky choruses. On the new album, I thought maybe there was a way to connect that heart and soul to a positive, trippy, psychedelic sound.”

Remixes of 'Fly Away' by Swedish DJ Jonas Rathsman are forthcoming. 'Heart Of Sky' album is released on the 20th July 2018.
