I Love You Mom

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.

Kuba Sojka - Rain (Remastered Version)

German duo andhim give new life to their track ‘Tosch’ by releasing a four track remix pack, tapping fellow countryman Roman Flügel to offer his unique approach.

Transforming the original tune, Flügel pitches the vocal hook deeper and highlights the rolling bass melody, flipping the original with a somewhat retro synth-wave motif. The steady beat lies at the heart of the production, but the euphoric tones lift the track to a blissful state.

Having been andhim’s debut record on their freshly minted Superfriends label, the duo have paid special attention to delivering a stacked collection of remixes. Also on the release is seasoned veteran Acidi Pauli, up and coming Zurich based DJ and producer Jimi Jules and German duo Manuel Tur and Adrian Hoffman under their Clavis alias.
