Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM267

Having become one of Crosstown Rebels’ key artists in recent years, Barcelona-born Tibi Dabo returns to the label this February with his latest EP, the four track Isla. Since debuting on the label in 2019, Tibi Dabo (AKA Max Guardans) has cemented his place amongst the Crosstown family with standout EPs such as Disbelieve and The Distance We Share, the latter of which featuring two remixes from David Morales.

Sharing his thoughts on Isla, Tibi Dabo asks “What to do with our time on earth? Find an island of joy and comfort, a modest retreat. A place to stay sane... I was feeling quite empty during our months of isolation, no influences and no external inputs. Then this idea of creating a conceptual island came to existence, an entity where I could play and put contrasting influences of electronic music together in one place. My little island was born, a space I feel as an optimistic outlook towards the future, something that I find hard to achieve.”

Tibi Dabo creates this scene perfectly as the title track opens proceedings, easing the listener in with delicate pads before waves of harmonious elements and finely placed percussions dance in and out of the track. Mothball then further emphasises the artist’s attention to detail as its lead melody and vocal-chops develop in tandem throughout. Brain The Cut follows, acting as a metaphorical signal of nightfall on Tibi Dabo’s conceptual island. Rounding off the release, Arp 8 delivers warming melodies atop of a subtle break beat in an exquisitely emotive manner.

Still in its infancy, yet mature in its intention, the Tibi Dabo project sees Max in his element; drawing on over a decade of playing and making music, perfectly demonstrated on Isla. Emerging from a new generation of multi-disciplined artists, Tibi Dabo’s refreshingly unique sound has also seen him remix for Crosstown Rebels head Damian Lazarus on two occasions. Determined and full of creative energy, Tibi Dabo thrives on producing music with no restrictions and, driven by his own need for exploration together with the support of influential industry figureheads, he has a locker full of fresh new music to unleash.

'Sueños' is out now https://waleed.lnk.to/Suenos

Born in Washington D.C., Waleed moved to Europe to explore electronic music at night, whilst writing code by day. Immersing himself in the London and Berlin music scenes, his own production was heavily influenced by what he found there. In August 2021, Waleed quietly released his debut single, ‘Se Rompen’. The response was anything but, with the track quickly receiving support from the likes of Ben-UFO, Floating Points and Four Tet.

Waleed’s sound is at once ecstatic and melancholic, with abrupt drops—engineering an unexpected narrative for the listener. With influences ranging from UK House to sounds from Waleed’s own Puerto Rican-Iraqi heritage, his tracks are a layered tapestry of sounds and styles. Signing to City-Slang in 2022 Waleed is staking his claim as a producer who is undoubtedly one to watch.
