Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/_CRMLP049

The release of Crosstown Rebels’ SPIRITS compilation is always a bastion moment for the label. The first edition came to prominence in 2017 and we’ve been graced with an annual compilation ever since, showcasing a consistent habit to champion established artists and breakthrough ones alike. Now, Crosstown Rebels’ lauded SPIRITS series will see the light of day once more in June, with the release of SPIRITS V.

“Compiling the Spirits compilations and sourcing the artists that create the artwork for the sleeves is one of my favourite annual jobs for Crosstown. I get to sift through all the best music being sent to me and find a way to make a cohesive one stop shop full of underground battle weapons and future club hits whilst also setting the tone for the sound of the label in any given year. Spirits V is one of the strongest of the series”. Damian Lazarus

NYC-native Layla Benitez leads proceedings with Fides, a progressive leaning, introspective number that retains an inherent danceability throughout. It kicks off the compilation with a driving energy, one that’s perfectly matched by Trabajar - the Crosstown Rebels debut of recent Hot Creations inductee Mr.Diamond. 

A techy-inspired cut, punchy four-four drum patterns create a distinctive late-night feel, as UK-talent Denney soon arrives with Kill The Soundboy. Showcasing the groove-laced house sound with which he’s become best known, the near seven-minute piece is sure to light up many a club setting this year, paving the way for Talk To Me. It’s a collaborative venture between Munich-based artist ASK:ME and El Muerto, with Soulfoot featuring on vocals. Retaining a vintage Detroit style, the fast-paced tempo creates a natural excitement before Romanian-born mainstay GruuvElement’s gifts us the minimal-toned Boom Room.

Building with tribal-like percussion and salsa-inspired instrumentals, it’s a playful excursion into dance music’s outer realms, paving the way for young Peruvian producer Chinonegro with My Moment. Whether it be the pluck of a guitar string or a jazzy trumpet solo, there’s an inherent authenticity to the six-minute piece, as a mid track breakdown gives way to whispering hats and a rhythmic underlying backbone.

The penultimate offering comes from French-born, London-based regular Maglia, who serves up the shamanic Rayiys. The chirping of birds reside atop an ever-changing bassline, leaving us open and ready for the VA’s closing saga: Thanks Moon, by Spain’s I AM JAS. A heady combination of beautiful lyrical contributions combine with softly moving electronic elements, to leave us in a state of calm, inward reflection. Rounding off proceedings on a note of quietude, it reminds us of the final moments in clubland, transporting our psyche to sunrise, fond memories and everything in between.

Over a period of nineteen years, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels has evolved into a world-renowned institution, garnering global audiences thanks to a consistent schedule of quality releases. In years since it’s earliest beginnings, the likes of Maceo Plex, Art Department, Seth Troxler, Ali Love, Mathew Jonson, Pier Bucci, Acid Pauli, Dennis Kurtel, Francesca Lombardo, Glimpse, Aphrohead, Fur Coat and a plethora of other figureheads have all found their home on the label.

The roster is international, showcasing how Crosstown has shaped a truly global scene. Releases are born in different continents by artists who hail from different countries, resulting in a sound that resonates worldwide. Perhaps most-pivotal to the label’s success is its musical output: no part is governed by boundary or genre. It’s underpinned by a truly eclectic sound, one that reflects the diversity of Damian’s love for music itself. An album from drum and bass icon DJ Krust here, a maiden LP from Audiojack there... traversing genres has been Damian’s forte for decades - and Crosstown epitomises that as a result.

INCOMING : Teemon & Poomba - Will never mind feat. Antinoë (Original mix) #MusicaCavernicola
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/label/musica-cavernicola/72377
Release date : 2022-12-16

Teemon & Poomba, a Madrid duo that is dominating the booths of the capital, signs this new reference of Musica Cavernicola. Three original tracks that, on the one hand, display the particular style of their creators, and on the other, show their possibilities and skills.

Nine Bad Decisions feat. Antinoë is in charge of opening the release to which it also gives its name. In just a short time, the nature of the track is made clear. The Indie Dance sounds, the eighties boxes, the arpeggiated bass, the subtle and enveloping pads and the impressive voice of the vocalist from Madrid, Antinoë, do the rest.

Phunkadelica, one of the most fashionable duos in Europe, has done one of the two remixes that accompanies this song. Making use of a very personal lead and boasting the subtlety, elegance, care and common sense that characterizes them, they manage to elevate the track to a completely new dimension.

The other remix is by SOSANDLOW’s, the owners of the label. This time the duo have opted for more club terrain, giving the rhythm more aggressiveness and weight. Special mention goes to the saturated basses and the monophonic arpeggios in delay that, within an acid sound framework, introduce the theme in a spiral.

The release continues with the original track Will Never Mind feat. Antinoë. On this occasion, Teemon & Poomba prefer to give us a more timeless sound with a long-term development in which the synth melody plays a fundamental role.

Finally, there is The Blast, an absolutely captivating track that is full of personality. The devastating bass, the arpeggiated melodies and the melody combined with the lead are a trap you fall into to let yourself go without resistance to the afterlife.

PREMIERE - Itzik K - I'll Be Good (Musica Cavernicola)

Two young and talented producers come together to create the perfect harmony. I AM JAS and Kaymane, met at their workplace: they both work as researchers in Acoustic and Audio Engineering in Barcelona. From the very first moment, they connected professionally and personally. This release is proof of that. A work that contains just the right elements to be a must-have in the suitcase of artists dedicated to house music. But it is also a delight for dance music lovers and electronic music collectors in general.

Nark, aka Kevin Kauer, founder of Bottom Forty and Nark Magazine, has devoted his life to dance music and club culture. For the last decade, he's helped cultivate Seattle's queer community, running a kaleidoscope of above and underground nightlife events including party/political movement Dickslap, a series of annual alternative Pride festival weekends, and the programming at Q Nightclub where he served as resident and creative director. For GhostlyCast #81, Nark delivers a marathon mix that serves as an emotional release and celebrates a recent revelation. "This year was about realizing I'm already exactly where I want to be and surrounded by boundless talent and energy here in the Seattle scene," he says. "Over the years of traveling the world and playing all these cool parties and making new friends and colleagues, I've only to come to realize how hard it is for anyone to separate friendship from competition; it puts a heavy emotional toll on so many people in the scene that builds exponentially, and it can really bring you down. For me, making this mix was about representing myself exactly the way I feel, not up to anyone else's standard. It's about letting go of the things I thought I wanted to chase after and instead, being in the present with myself, our scene and the people around me who need and support me as much as I do them."
