Damian Lazarus celebrates 20 Years of his world-renowned Crosstown Rebels imprint with a special album  project of unreleased cuts and fresh remixes, featuring material from Black Coffee, Maceo Plex, Art Department,  Dennis Cruz and many more. 

Ringing in a major milestone in style, 2023 will see Lazarus and Crosstown mark  the 20th Anniversary of the label with a series of celebratory projects unveiled in the lead-up to summer, with ‘CR20 The Album’ set for  release on 12th May 2023.  

“20 years ago, I dreamed a dream of creating a family of like-minded, crazy individuals from all corners of the planet - releasing  music to the world and making people dance. That dream was Crosstown Rebels, and this year we are 20. Over these years, I have  forged beautiful friendships, discovered very talented artists and tried my best to help, advise and support some of the most  colourful characters in dance music. Crosstown Rebels is more than a record label, it is family. 

So 2023 will mark the label’s 20th Anniversary. This is an opportunity for the Crosstown Rebels family, a global community of  artists, DJs and creatives, and the label’s myriad of followers to celebrate this momentous milestone. There will be parties and  events around the world. A killer compilation of exclusives and special remixes, a beautiful coffee table book, a short film, and a  special launch event are planned to bring together the sights and sounds of the label’s unique and influential history. There’s lots to  share, announce and reminisce. 20 years young.” - Damian Lazarus. 

Opening the package, Lazarus’ own 2020 collaboration ‘Into The Sun’ with regular Crosstown vocalist Jem Cooke is given a cosmic rework  by Johannesburg’s Major League DJz, while Jamie Jones’ slick ‘Paradise 2011’ is stripped back and given a new lease of life by the  hypnotic and heady sounds of Art Department. Opening the B-Side, Dennis Cruz brings his percussive Latin-infused signature sound  palette to Chilean musician and producer Pier Bucci’s ‘Hay Consuelo’, before Audiojack’s ‘Feel Good’, another standout collaboration  alongside Cooke, is taken into synth-led territories as Michael Mayer reaches for an evolving bed of captivating tones. 

The second half of the project brings more excellently remixed material, both new and old, with GRAMMY-winning DJ/producer Black Coffee  turning his hand to the label’s first release of 2023 in Made By Pete and Zoe Kypri’s emotive ‘Horizon Red’, unveiling reworked melodies and  sparkling keys as he delivers an interpretation of a track which has featured as a staple in his sets. Next, the project welcomes Adam Ten &  Yamagucci’s playful yet off-kilter and wonky ‘The K Dance’ which unveils itself as a production perfect for those late night hours and early  afters, before Ellum boss Maceo Plex’s ‘Together (2011 Mix)’ brings another lost production to the mix with a driving and zipping ride through  sugary synths and soaring leads. To close, Tibi Dabo turns his attention to Guti & Dubshape’s absorbing ‘Every Cow Has A Bird’, delivering a  nimble minimal-led trip through lush pads and crisp percussion to round things out in style.

Already a close member of Life and Death’s extended family, @adamten makes his debut appearance on the label with a freaky anthem, distinctly shaped for baroque dancefloors, eccentric parties, and sweaty summer festivals.  

It’s already been a massive run for Adam Ten over the past year: following the chart-topping success of his anthemic tune ‘Spring Girl’ on Higher Ground, Adam performed one of the most impactful sets at Burning Man last summer, had two packed DJ sets with longtime collaborator Mita Gami at the Yuma Tent at Coachella, and has all the while stayed consistent with strong releases on Crosstown Rebels and his very own label Maccabi House label. 

‘Magic Circus’ has Adam’s signature soundscape all over it: funky samples, hypnotizing groove and trippy synths, coupled with tensed buildups and highly percussive drums. This special record has been a staple in recent sets by Adam himself, as well as Life and Death label member Carlita, and founder DJ Tennis.

Praise (BR) @praisebr presents his new EP “Drevera / Eclipse / Day Dream”, featuring three original Progressive House tracks, released under the signature sound of Univack. A sonic journey that balances drive, hypnotic atmospheres, and emotional depth — a powerful artistic statement and a compelling introduction to the Univack catalogue.

This EP unfolds through three distinct yet complementary pieces: “Drevera” kicks off with a robust, dancefloor-oriented groove aimed straight at the body. “Eclipse” dives deeper with a hypnotic character, wrapping the listener in psychedelic layers and steadily building tension. “Day Dream” closes the release like a deep exhale, with  spacious textures, and an intimate atmosphere that lingers.

A release that reaffirms Univack’s commitment to discovering and nurturing artists with a unique identity in the contemporary melodic landscape.
