An ode to the last tune of the night, warm pads, tidal synths and spoken word provide a sense of escapism.

“We had this idea of creating a last tune, something hyper reflective that you could bring the night to an end with. One of the only things keeping us sane during lockdown was making transportive music that conjured up club moments. The spoken word was given to us by a friend and it fit perfectly, the words really resonating with the state of things at that current time. Records like Burial’s 'Untrue' opened doors in our minds that electronic music can conjure feelings and visuals, something we've tried to achieve for the listeners of Sapphire Eyes.”

Premiere: Wayward 'Sapphire Eyes'

Together was written for someone close to me who was going through a rough patch at the time. I wanted to write something hopeful to reassure them that we would get through the hard times together and come out the other side even stronger. In a sense, the song is about how shared hardship can strengthen relationships of all kinds. As the past year and a half has been a tough one for most, it feels like the right time to release this song about mental wellbeing and looking out for one another."

Izy release They Don’t Care (Yoruba Soul Extended Mix) a raw, deep house reimagining of their 2021 track by legendary producer and DJ Osunlade. Osunlade takes They Don’t Care on a sparse, minimal house journey, clearing the arrangement right out to give bassist and vocalist Warrigo Tyrrell’s vocals room to breathe and float over the pulse. 

One of the world's longest established deep house producers, Osunlade’s touch is minimal and masterful. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri but a lifetime nomad, Osunlade is the founder of Yoruba Records and has worked with and remixed for artists including Patti Labelle, Freddie Jackson, Roy Ayers, Nkemdi, Salif Keita, and Cesária Évora. Osunlade's music has a deep spiritual root in Yoruba traditions that are also reflected in the name of his record label, album covers, and approach to life. 

They Don’t Care (Yoruba Soul Extended Mix) is the first single from Irene - Remixes (Vol I), a collection of dancefloor focused re-workings of Izy’s 2021 album Irene. The remixes take Izy’s raw, soulful vocals and analog production and reconstitutes them in pulsing new arrangements. Vol I of remixes launches as Izy head back into the studio to work on album number two. 

They Don’t Care (Yoruba Soul Extended Mix) is available everywhere on September 29th on Hopestreet Recordings.

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM237

Tibi Dabo returns to Crosstown Rebels with his second EP of the year The Distance We Share. His third EP will follow in the Autumn in advance of his debut album forthcoming in 2021. Globally revered American producer David Morales turns in two outstanding remixes that demonstrate contrasting aspects of his illustrious career.

The Distance We Share sees beautiful melodies standing both individually and combined to create an ethereal atmosphere. Starting with golden keys that drop into a twinkling lullaby, rising and falling throughout the track before ending with danceable energy. Komorebi opens with melancholic chords, the bassline moves at a relaxed pace over a rhythm of hi-hats and cowbell, sensual distorted vocals and delicate chimes induce a feeling of romance. The first remix of Komorebi from David Morales sees him add his legendary Red Zone stamp of New York influenced house music, building tension with darker tones, chugging percussion and hypnotic loops. On the Diridim Mix Morales turns the vibe to that of his newest label, with classic soulful electronics adding a deep sense of warmth.

Still in its infancy, the Tibi Dabo project from Max Guardans has seen his unique emotive take on electronic music and sound design catch the attention of influential figureheads. His debut release the Ende EP on Sasha's Last Night on Earth imprint demonstrating his remarkable talent. With his determined attitude and unrelenting thirst for exploration impressing respected tastemaker Damian Lazarus, he was immediately signed to Crosstown Rebels. His last two EP’s Her Moon and Disbelieve on the imprint, initiating a run of unrelenting form that marks the start of big things to come.
