Made By Pete returns to Crosstown Rebels as he links up with Zoe Kypri for the anthemic ‘Horizon Red’.

Born and raised in London, DJ and producer Made By Pete has flourished in recent years, making appearances  around the globe from Set Underground (Tulum) and fabric (London) to Off Week (Barcelona) and beyond. Gaining  plaudits from leading names in Damian Lazarus, Keinemusik and Pete Tong, to name just a few, the UK talent has  crafted a string of stand-out releases via the likes of Flying Circus, RADIANT and Crosstown Rebels. Having first  touched down on the imprint in 2018 alongside Jem Cooke for ‘So Long’, with two further appearances since, he  opens the label’s 2023 schedule alongside R&B, jazz and Neo-soul singer/songwriter Zoe Kypri for the gripping  sonics of ‘Horizon Red’ - with the track set to be remixed by label boss Damian Lazarus in the coming weeks. 

“We caught each other’s attention whilst playing sets at Tobacco Dock in London, and the admiration was  mutual. We knew we wanted to create something that evoked feelings of the afterglow. That dissonant  feeling at sunset when the horizon is so fiercely beautiful, yet the inevitability of the day falling behind the  mountains is near. A simultaneous beginning and end.” - Made By Pete & Zoe Kypri. 

A dynamic track guided by rich chords, rolling organic percussion and Kypri’s powerful yet graceful vocals,  ‘Horizon Red’ is a euphoric and captivating journey balancing energetic builds with deeper moments, while Pete’s Dub strips things back as spiralling synths and hazy atmospheres take hold for a late-night trip.

The South African phenomenon Black Coffee has become well known in recent years due to his impeccable blend of house, infused with African culture and vibes. In 2012, ‘Buya’ was released featuring the stunning vocalist Yoshi.  The track went platinum in Africa in 2 months, bringing Black Coffee into the international spotlight. Now, Get Physical has taken the reigns and handed the track over to Loco Dice, M.A.N.D.Y. and Da Cappo for their remix wizardry.  

Loco Dice who has African roots spends his proceeds of the EP for the development of the new website, and the donation campaign for the Kliptown Youth Centre in Soweto, South Africa, a non-profit project that provides hope through tutoring, athletic, music and arts programs.  The returns will go to helping the heroes of the Kliptown Youth Center in Soweto, South Africa, giving kids a chance to create and express themselves whereas they might not have had that chance before. The youth is our future, and right now they need our help and support.
