Info:
Damian Lazarus curates more international talent for the fifth instalment of ‘SOULS’ on Rebellion Records.
Boasting a spectrum of sounds, the VA series returns for its fifth edition with fresh material from Avision, Chelu Garcia, Secret Factory and Phil Source, set for release on 20th September 2024.

A visionary of sounds, Damian Lazarus has long since built a name for himself by supporting forward-thinking international talent across his labels, with his golden ear having led him to a career as a globally renowned DJ/producer and label owner at the forefront of the scene. Returning with the fifth instalment of the label’s ongoing VA series ‘SOULS’, Lazarus’ Rebellion unveils its latest lineup with four diverse and deep cuts set to grace the Crosstown Rebels sister imprint this September.

The VA opens with New York house native Avision, whose previous releases feature on labels such as Cocoon, Ellum, Knee Deep In Sound, and MATTER+, the co-owned label with his cousin and US techno legend Victor Calderone. Avision’s track, ‘Need You’, is a belter. Whilst staying true to his sound, he pushes into more cinematic spheres with floating flutes, hissing hi-hats and powerful vocals. Second up is Chelu Garcia, an Ibiza-based pianist and DJ/producer with a flair for jazz-flavoured house. His
contribution, ‘New Galaxies’, journeys into poetic realms, delivering the narrative vocals of Swiss singer-songwriter Ishantu over hypnotic rhythms and darker basslines. Dynamic Hungarian duo Secret Factory, who have been making waves with their party series turned imprint Secret Fusion since 2001, are next. Their track ‘Time Of Jubilation’ comes with sharp sounds as shooting synths collate to form a climaxing crescendo oriented towards the peak time. Closing the record, London-based DJ/producer and one-half of legendary D&B duo Source Direct, Phil Source, delivers rippling otherworldly soundscapes on ‘Pyramid of Sun’, where the captivating bassline meets compelling beats.

Rebellion’s ‘SOULS Vol.5’ VA drops on 20th September 2024.

'The Originals' - Edition II - Phil Source

Hailing from Helsinki in Finland, Physics has been busy for years producing, DJing, and running his own music label, Midnight Sun Recordings. He is looking to release music that's genuine and has done so since his first release back in 2003. His productions have been released on the scene's most seminal labels including Metalheadz, Liquid V, Hospital, Fokuz, Formation, MAC II and Secret Operations just to mention a few. His productions have seen dj support from the likes of Randall, Goldie, DJ Storm, Bryan Gee, LTJ Bukem, DJSS, Pendulum, A.M.C and many more. He is constantly pushing music out on his own Midnight Sun label and is also working on an artist collaboration project called "Midnight Sons" together with long-time companion Christian Champagne. In the studio, he has previously worked with names such as S.P.Y, Alix Perez, Seba and Phil Source (Source Direct) and XRS.

DJing wise, Physics likes to play the whole spectrum of drum & bass and he likes to build sets that take the listener on a journey. You can be sure to hear dubplates of him and his peers in his sets that are always oozing of soulful deepeness but still maintaining a dancefloor edge to them!

Rebel Cause - Savoy

Rebel Cause - Only Real Music.

Introduction

Rebel Cause is a drum and bass collective with a core formed by veteran producer inZtance (Villem Hion), his long-time studio partner Volume None, newcomer Rawla, and Toomas Teder, who is responsible for the visual identity. Their synergy creates a collective that embodies the traditions of the genre while remaining future-oriented. In anticipation of their upcoming debut album "Concepts," the collective is ready to introduce their work to a wider international audience.

The Collective's Creative Foundations

inZtance is an established figure on the Estonian drum and bass scene. His journey began in 2005 when he released his first track on the Basswerk Files label. His musical style is deep and melodic, yet enriched with technical elements. He has described his style as "smooth-with-the-rough," referring to the balance between softness and technical rigor. inZtance has also received recognition, winning the R2DNB Award for best drum and bass producer twice and the award for best Estonian DNB work.

His discography includes releases on several internationally recognized labels, such as Warm Communications and Hustle Audio. His 2007 debut album on Through Sounds is also notable. Additionally, he collaborated with Finnish artist Trisector on the track "Trace Of A Smile," which was released in 2009 on the Hospital Records sister imprint Med School. A 12-inch single, "Keep On Running / Breathing City," a collaboration with another Estonian producer Thing was released on the Warm Communications, with "Keep On Running" being a collaboration with Frank H. Carter III. On the Vampire Records label, inZtance has released tracks like "Last Few Minutes" (another collab with Trisector), "She's Gone" (on the "Nocturnal" album in 2012) and "He Knows Me."

Volume None is inZtance's long-time creative partner. Although little is publicly known about him, his contribution to the creation of Rebel Cause is significant. His name is credited as a featured artist on several tracks released under inZtance's Through Sounds label, including the 2013 EP "Understory / Ashes To Ashes."

Rawla is Volume None's younger brother and the newest member of Rebel Cause. Unlike the other members of the collective, who have been active on the music scene for longer, Rawla is only at the beginning of his career. However, he brings courage, freshness, a precise ear, and musical seriousness to the collective. Big things ahead!

Toomas Teder is responsible for the collective's visual identity. His role in integrating music and visuals is an integral part of Rebel Cause's artistic statement (videos, graphics, design, merch).
Toomas also filmed Rebel Cause's first music video for one of the main tracks from the album titled 'Try To Get By'

The birth of Rebel Cause is a natural continuation of the long-term collaboration between inZtance and Volume None, which has been expanded to include new talents (Rawla) and the visual aspect (Toomas Teder).

Their shared journey has culminated in the 16-track album "Concepts," which will be released on the legendary Source Direct co-founder Phil Source's Vampire Records label in 2026. The label's roster also includes well-known names like Teebee, Zero T, Survival, Kolectiv, Physics, Nymfo and NC-17.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
