**LAZPOD IS BACK**
After taking a moments break I am finally back with a brand new extra special LAZPOD show. Hot on the heels of releasing my very first Movie Soundtrack, Beijing Spring, I figured it was a perfect time to create my ultimate movie soundtrack mix. This mix is a collection of some of my all time favorite prices of music from the silver screen, nothing too obvious here but they are all winners. 
Expect to hear incredible pieces from Johann Jóhannsson, Michael Nyman, Philip Glass, Marvin Gaye and so much more… having been collecting soundtrack albums all mg life, this is one of those moments when I realized I needed to create something true, honest and beautiful.
Welcome to The MoviePod, welcome to Lazpod #39

The Lovepod

This brand new episode of Lazpod, the first in AGES, was inspired by seeing Stevie Wonder in concert last week. He reminded me that, in this time of trouble around the world, the one thing that keeps us sane and together is... love.
 
For many years I have been adding and subtracting songs from this compilation... my ultimate collection of love songs. These are songs about the joy of being in love and in some cases, they depict the despair we feel when we are without love.

I discovered whilst making this that you cant beat the classics and every time I tried to add in a fresher, "cooler" track, it just didn’t stand up against the rest. So, here it is, the return of Lazpod. I hope you can feel the love vibes and enjoy this one over years to come.

Lazpod is BACK. 

Enjoy X

Take a trip to Black Rock City on the Robot Heart Bus with Damian Lazarus. This is the first 2 and half hours from his 5 hour set of playa magic for your listening pleasure. This was a very special night for Damian and the entire Liquid Sky camp as they rocked the Robot Heart crew on the Wednesday night through to Thursday afternoon. Enjoy!

Damian Lazarus on the Robot Heart Bus - Burning Man 2011

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.

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.

Damian Lazarus - Essential Mix 2006

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’.
