Big sound camps like DISTRIKT are always a ton of work but last year DISTRIKT brought an incredibly ambitious setup that sounded, looked and felt amazing. Those of us that were there were really given quite a treat. I’m so grateful to get to play in such an ideal set up in such an insanely challenging setting. With 2023 being such a particularly epic year I’m extra glad to have this recording that so quickly brings back the feeling for me of that beautiful night. For those who were there I hope this tickles your memories the same way it does mine and for those who weren’t I’m glad you can join for the ride. Massive thanks to Ben and the entire DISTRIKT crew who worked so hard to make this happen. You guys are legends and the true stars of this show.

¨This set holds a special place in my heart from start to finish. Performing on the Mayan Warrior is always a profound experience for me, not only because of the incredible connection I share with the team but also because of my deep bond with Mexico, a country I now consider my second home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did playing it.¨

DJ Tennis- Mayan Warrior - Burning Man 2024

Art Department (Kenny Glasgow) from the Robot Heart ResIIdency at the Loom in Oakland CA, 2024

On May 10th, we had arranged something truly special: a rare reunion from Art Department, Jonny and Kenny back under the original banner. The day before the show, though, we got word that Jonny tested positive for COVID and would not be able to make it. To make matters worse, Kenny showed up feeling off himself—stomach problems, not doing great. For a moment, we were not sure whether the set would happen at all.

Then, after a quick pep talk (and maybe a little Johnnie Walker), Kenny decided to push through. He played the entire set from just one side of the DJ setup, leaving the other deck silent, like he was holding space for Jonny. Mid-set he passed us his phone to grab some content; somewhere between shots we pulled a South Park moment and killed Kenny’s phone, leaving him to play on, clock-free and carried by the night’s energy.

With no idea what time it was, Kenny kept the dance floor alive well past closing. It was one of the most memorable sets of the season—raw, alive, and full of heart. Kenny played for both of them, and everyone there felt it. Nights like that are why we do this. For the music, the people, and the magic you could never script.

We’re pleased to announce the launch of The Crosstown Mix Show, a new bi-weekly mix series from Crosstown Rebels and Rebellion. Each episode will feature a different member of the label roster taking us on a mind bending journey of upfront, fresh, exclusive music.

The first instalment comes from Damian Lazarus, who explained more about the series:

'Since the beginning of the lockdown, with the inability for DJs to be heard in clubs, we thought that now was a good time to remind people about the quality of the artists we work with at the label. These mixes are a reminder that the art of DJing is still alive and kicking, even while the dancefloors lie dormant.'

The Crosstown Mix Show 001 sets the standard, with the focus on unreleased forward thinking tracks. Deep and twisted electronic music, to be enjoyed both in your head and in your home, a perfect selection also for a dance.

This twice monthly series will also be the first place to hear forthcoming releases on Crosstown, Rebellion and beyond... Upcoming mixes come from Quenum and Alinka.
