Tibi Dabo unveils his long-awaited full-length ‘Vista’ on Crosstown Rebels this September, with the  kaleidoscopic nine-track album showcasing his diverse and rich sound palette.  

Born in Barcelona, DJ, producer, and musician Tibi Dabo has proven himself adept at mixing the classic and the cutting-edge. From  his early days touring Europe and the US with a band in which he plays the drums, the foundation for his experimentation for his work  within the electronic sphere, he has since grown to become an exciting and much-loved DJ and producer, adding to his growing  reputation as a Crosstown Rebels favourite. Stepping things up once more, his spirited new album ‘Vista’ is a perfect fusion of  futuristic synths and compelling house grooves, all of which are masterfully designed and full of character. Following three well received singles across the summer, the full-length is a complete sonic statement that explores deep house, leftfield sonics and  widescreen cosmic vistas.  

Opener ‘Water Is’ layers up fresh sound sources and playful melodies on nimble basslines that soon make you move. ‘Somewhere  Beach’ is then a silky groove layered up with diffuse pads and aching synths that convey real romance, while ‘Licht’ is another  masterful display of original drum programming with bursts of cosmic synth and elastic bass. ‘Useless Ideas’ then gets deeper on  more low-key drums and bass. Instead, the focus is on the deft percussion and well-treated vocals that swirl and smudge around the  mix to a woozy late-night effect.  

The elegant ‘Mundo’ channels the machine soul of early Detroit techno, before ‘Mangabeira Manifesto’ featuring Dudu Bongo layers  up wonky drums and bass with curling, soft acid sounds and a playful vocal line. There is heartbreak in the melancholic chords and  broken beat funk of ‘Diamond Baby’ while ‘Triple Frontier’ picks up the pace and heads out on a high-speed cosmic house journey, all  before ‘Overture’, another far-sighted astral trip with starry melodies and rich, rubbery bass, closes the package in fine style. 

An expressive and adventurous yet coherent long player with a range of moods, feelings and grooves taking you to all corners of the  house world, ‘Vista’ showcases Dabo’s most in-depth project to date and an album which provides the perfect platform for him to  display his rich sonic universe.

Australia-based duo Lunar Disco land on Crosstown Rebels with new single ‘Devil’s Hands’, remixed by house heavyweights Luciano and Anthony Middleton.

Comprised of DJ and composer Nicolas Blistene and his singer-songwriter partner Kate Elsworth, Lunar Disco rose through the Parisian house scene but are now based in Australia, producing music that fuses live vocals and rich electronic textures. They veer towards the deeper, more sensual and playful end of the spectrum, while Kate has also been in hot demand as a vocalist by the likes of Deep Dish and labels such as Mobilee. Building on releases via Blond:ish’s Abracadabra Music, Kindisch and their own Suck My Disco imprint, late July welcomes a debut appearance on Crosstown Rebels for the release of their latest single, ‘Devil’s Hands’.

‘Devil’s Hand’ is a low-slung and sleazy take on indie disco. The bass is rough, with wild guitar riffs adding an extra layer next to the swinging, macho disco drums, while Kate’s steamy vocal brings inviting human soul as psyched-out guitars add a spaghetti western-style energy. The track then comes as a ‘Dirty Club Mix’ by Lunar Disco and Rebellion signee TAYA., opting for a rubbery groove for the back room, with moody bass and electronic pulses taking it deep into the night. 

Swiss-Chilean minimal maestro, long-time cult underground hero, and Cadenza boss Luciano heads up the B-side as he draws on his Latin heritage to cook up intricate percussive grooves across his remix to lock in listeners. His drums are rolling but heavy, and the claps and hits are layered carefully into an infectious tangle that never lets up. As both one half of Audiofly and on his own, final remixer Anthony Middleton has been at the heart of the house scene for many years, featuring as a vital presence in Ibiza each summer. His remix is sparse, with cosmic synths sequences unfolding over elastic drums and bass. It’s subtle but emotionally intense, and will make for a perfect late-night trip.

A rework I did of Laurent Garnier's brilliant "Man With The Red Face" to play in my sets. Enjoy. X

Laurent Garnier - Man With The Red Face (Emanuel Satie Edit)

The latest transmission on Body Parts comes from rapidly rising Tel Aviv producer Saraga, who builds on a strong body of work released to date on labels such as Whitech, Decay Records, Plattenbank, and most recently via Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat. With a keen focus on rolling grooves and hypnotic atmospheres, his distinctive sound fits in perfectly with the Body Parts narrative.

The Pikes EP opens up with the title track, where a smooth and steady minimal house groove undulates through a hazy landscape of fragmented speech samples and distant textures.

"Full Of Candys" is sharper in comparison, using a snapping beat and fulsome bass to command an energetic groove aimed squarely at the peak of the dancefloor without compromising on the tripped-out qualities that embed his productions.

By way of contrast, "Better Sun" rides on disco-flavoured drums and uses some slick, head-turning touches of melody to punch through the mid range and add a sprightly edge to the situation.

"SIS" finishes the EP off with a subtle swing, looming sub bass and a delicate female vocal to create an alluring mood, perfect for deeper moments in the dance.
