Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint opens its 2026 release schedule with a special label debut from Romanian favourite Cristi Cons, as he delivers a magnetic three-tracker in the form of his ‘Give Me Love’ EP. Known for his precise groove-driven approach, Cristi’s arrival onto the label brings a release that distils his signature tension-and-release architecture into some of its most direct club form yet.

The title track, ‘Give Me Love’, unfolds with subtle vocal refrains, shadowy atmospheres, and a rolling, elastic groove built for late-night momentum. On the B-side, ‘Can You Hear Me’ channels a sleeker, more hypnotic pulse, with dubby textures, restrained bass pressure, hooky vocals, and a snaking groove to keep dancers moving. Closing the EP, ‘You Ain’t Got Nothin’ brings vibrant synths, tight drum programming, and more captivating vocal use into a head-down trip that leans into Cons’s innate ability to craft late-night and early-hours journeys.

A longstanding architect of Romania’s influential underground, Cristi Cons has carved a reputation through his solo work, his collaborative SIT project with Vlad Caia, and their shared imprint, Amphia, which now stands as a true force within the minimal landscape. Alongside regular appearances across Europe’s key institutions and collaborations with revered names, including Raresh as part of their Verico project along with Caia, Cristi continues to evolve with each release - and ‘Give Me Love’ delivers yet another side to his diverse sound as he steps into the Crosstown Rebels fold to open the year.

Cristi Cons ‘Give Me Love’ EP drops via Crosstown Rebels on 16th January 2026.

Der gebürtige Bückeburger Keven, welcher derzeit in Köln lebt, fing wie viele schon früh an sich musikalisch auszuleben , sei es beim ausprobieren allerlei Instrumente sowie beim scratchen auf Papas Plattenspieler. Was noch lange nicht als aussergewöhnlich scheint. 
Er ist in der Mitte der 80er geboren als die Techno und House Bewegung ihren Höhepunkt erreichte.

Dabei wurde er von Hip-Hop & House Musik der 90er Jahre beeinflusst. 
Die andere Hälfte zog es mehr zu melodischen Klängen und europäisch basierten Techno.
Die Harmonie zwischen dem Auflegen, Performen und dem unmittelbaren Kontakt zu dem Publikum macht einen guten DJ zu einem ´´besseren´´ Dj.

Der Kölner Dj hat ein Gefühl für das Clubbing, Tanzwütige und alle andern, für die Musik viel mehr ist als nur ein Wort.
Er liebt es verschiedene Styles miteinander zu kombinieren um seine Sets noch intensiver, abwechslungsreicher und aussergewöhnlicher zu machen. Man könnte es fast schon als poetisch bezeichnen, zu vergleichen mit einer aufregenden Geschichte.
