'I Got You / Don't Let Me Go' EP is a two-track house music EP, inspired by the emotional state of flow that we experience when making music. The two tracks deliver contrasting feelings: one is more upbeat and energetic, while the other is more laid-back and chill. 

'I Got You' mirrors the thrill of a brilliant idea. It features a blend of open acoustic piano chords and a dreamy electric piano melody, creating a nostalgic 'old school' ambience. The track gradually builds up with the addition of female vocal samples, culminating in a powerful main break with a sustained vocal shot.

"Don't Let Me Go" represents the end of a creative session. It features soft female vocals and evocative Rhodes chords that dance over a pulsating beat. The track is grounded by an elastic, bouncing bass and the organic sounds of acoustic drums. Bright pads intermittently inject a sense of anticipation into the atmosphere. As the track draws to a close, a liquid 303 adds a hypnotic touch to the groove.

Thank you for listening!

Title: [QR]D.115.TLN.25
Label: COD3 QR
Cat No: QRD115TLN25
Format: Digital
Released: 25 April 2025

Track Listing:
A1. Laurent Garnier – Back Where I Belong (Solaris Mix)
A2. Tal Fussman – Waiting
B1. Loloman - The Wall (Laurent Garnier ReWork)
B2. The Lost Souldancer - No More Voices

We hit the jackpot with lucky number seven… seven killer new tracks on [QR]D.115.TLN.25 by returning players Carlos Nilmmns, Jules Wells & DCLVIII OFC, Jay Robinson, Alex Mendes and Onur Ozman, alongside new participants ProOne79 and Trecci.

Carlos Nilmmns has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound influenced by the traditions of Chicago and Detroit. In the past, he's released on some of the best-of-breed labels in the world including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. Don't sleep on his Jazz-infused opener "Moon Dance".

Italian based producer Gioele Cantoni a.k.a. ProOne79 lives for dance music. Like Carlos he's influenced by the sounds of Chicago and Detroit and has been crafting high-powered and catchy Techno and House for labels including Nervous, Circus Recordings, Kneaded Pains, Flashmob Records, This Ain't Bristol, WRKTRX and many more. Now he delivers the seriously funky groove of "Lysergic" to the label.

influenced by the Motor City, Jules Wells has released on several respected Detroit-based labels like Electrofunk, Submerge, Twilight 76, KMS and Planet E, but also on the likes of Brique Rouge (France), Purebox (Japan) and Logos (Macedonia). Most notably his track "Song4Clara" on KMS, which inspired Laurent Garnier's "Enchanté". Meanwhile, Anthony Godin a.k.a. DCLVIII OFC has been a veteran of music production for over two decades, with more than 25 years of mixing experience. As The White Shadow he released on Suara, Still Von Talent, Kattermukke and Einmusika. His DCLVIII OFC moniker embodies a more Techno approach, with subtle progression and a melodic touch. Together they deliver the epic and atmospheric, "Heritage".

Trecci is a French DJ, electronic music producer and manager of both Naeba Records and Ontake Records. While a lot of his releases are on his own Naeba Records, he has also featured on international labels including Brique Rouge, Soiree, RF, Biotech, UKR Special Series, Nice & Nasty, Deep Gruv, Hautboxx, Slates Records and many more. His track "Manly Whatnots" sends the release into deeper and moodier territory.

Having been in the music scene for a decade, Jay Robinson's mix of House, Techno and Bass music has found support from all corners of the industry. His Mau5trap releases and collaborations with Idris Elba, Example and Grammy award winning Todd Edwards have all added to what has been a great few years for the Welsh wizard. Here he delivers some slammin' House with "Stroker".

Passionate about music of all genres but particularly drawn to electronic music, Alex Mendes feels equally at home in the studio and on stage, where he excels in the art of extended DJ sets. When it comes to production, Alex gravitates towards music driven by synthesizers and drums, always drawn from his own imagination, allowing him to tell a story in each of his tracks and "Terceiro Orbito" is no exception.

Onur Ozman is one of the more remarkable names in Deep House. Artist and professional architect, he combines both disciplines in his precise productions; sound design to the smallest details. Now based in Zurich, Onur started his career as a prominent member of Istanbul's House scene. His talent has led him to release on labels like Sum Over Histories, Isolate, Yoshitoshi, Hottrax, Rebirth, Noir Music and Kwench. He closes [QR]D.115.TLN.25 with the dappled "Flash Back" to complete another eclectic COD3 QR release.

01- Carlos Nilmmns - Moon Dance - PREVIEW

Originally released in 2009, this standout remix package followed the release of Steve Bug’s fourth full artist album, Collaboratory, which dropped earlier that year to widespread acclaim. The album captured Steve’s dedication to forward-thinking house music, teaming up with a stellar cast of collaborators including Gigi, Donnacha Costello, and Simon Flower.
Collaboratory Remixes Vol.1 brought fresh interpretations from Ribn, Motor City Drum Ensemble, and Sven Tasnadi, and still holds up today.

Ribn (aka Manuel Tur and Langenberg) deliver a deep, dubby, Detroit-tinged take on “Like It Should Be” featuring Gigi. Their Translucent Vox Remix builds with patience, drawing you in with a long, atmospheric intro before locking into a driving, bass-led groove that honors Gigi’s sultry vocals.

Motor City Drum Ensemble brings the heat with a raw house twist on “Still Music,” the Bug and Costello collaboration. Loaded with late 80s and early 90s drum machine attitude and bubbling keys, it’s an acid-tinged workout that still burns.
Sven Tasnadi rounds things out with a tight, tracky remix of “Passing Clouds” (Bug and Simon Flower), fusing melancholic synth lines with solid drums and a modern tech-house edge.

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMCD040

Following on from the Moment in the Dark EP featuring remixes from Adam Port, Satori and Tibi Dabo, Damian Lazarus celebrates the tenth anniversary of his acclaimed debut album Smoke the Monster Out, with the release of a remastered and expanded edition on his own label Crosstown Rebels.

A decade ago I released my debut solo album on the label Get physical. It was the first time I’d let myself loose in the studio and what came out was a psychedelic collection of extremely strange and bizarre songs. I wanted to make an album full of my inspirations and influences, for exotic after parties, and with no consideration about necessarily getting played in the clubs. It divided opinion at the time and seemed to defy easy categorisation. My own sonic curveball. Here we are ten years on. I’m pleased to report that ‘Smoke The Monster Out’ is still as weird as it ever was. Still genre proof. Still an ‘album’ in an era of tracks and playlists. Now forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels, remastered and with three bonus tracks from the original studio sessions, it’s ready to confuse everyone all over again!

Smoke The Monster Out, originally released in 2009, was the first time Damian had written and produced his own music. Known across the globe for founding the Crosstown Rebels label, his captivating DJ sets and divergent Lazpod podcast series, his debut album is an emotional and humorous expression of his genre-defying imagination.

Following ongoing experimentation with lyric writing and production, Damian invited Arthur Jeffes (son of the Penguin Café Orchestra’s Simon Jeffes), Classic records head honcho Luke Solomon and Mark Ralph (then a member of Filthy Dukes and now a world renowned producer for the likes of Clean Bandit, Years & Years, and Jax Jones) into the studio with him. The result was a unique blend of music that represents Lazarus’ personality and vast experience of the dark and light moments that are captured on the dancefloor. The Guardian went as far as describing the album in 2009 as: “Less troubled and deep than Björk's Debut, it still captures the atmosphere of late-night clubland – the transcendent freedom, the fuzzy unreality, the implicit emptiness, the dysfunction – with a similar potent accuracy. That it does so by fusing Ricardo Villalobos and Robert Wyatt, and slipping in a Scott Walker cover, might explain why it is not being hailed as one of the crossover albums of the year. But it is."

Ten years on the album that draws on inspiration from: techno and house, rock and pop and drum and bass, still remains as challenging and exciting as it was upon its initial release and will capture the attention of both new and old fans alike.

Everything about Smoke The Monster Out feels idiosyncratic, direct and carefully thought-out: both the artwork and the title (which references Alice in Wonderland) evoke Lazarus’s interest in the loss and the return of innocence, the imagery of fairytale fables, and the battle to control and satisfy the emotions without losing sight of humour. Lazarus has a vision, and isn’t afraid to realize it. He continues to live this vision through the music released on his label, the groundbreaking festival he curates Day Zero and the story that unfolds during his DJ sets to audiences around the world every week.

Damian Lazarus - Diamond In The Dark
