Next up on Crosstown Rebels is a classy deep tech cut from one of Sweden’s finest exports - Ida Engberg. Making her debut on Crosstown Rebels with ‘Devil Dance’, Ida proves her undeniable power to move the dancefloor as she combines her tough yet groovy style with a sexy dose of acid. B-side ‘Silhouette Of A Ghost’ is a housier affair, with a lighter bounce yet injected with some filthy distorted bass.  Featuring reworks by the legendary Mr G and Ida’s close cohort Adam Beyer, the ‘Devil Dance’ package is essential for any DJ box and best served up on a system that’s worthy.

Ida Engberg is a global techno megastar. DJing from an incredibly young age and working her way up from local bars in hometown Stockholm to residencies in Marbella followed by season in Ibiza 2005, Ida then turned attention to production and by 2007 had releases out on Get Physical and Pickadoll. With European tour dates pouring in, Ida came to play her first Drumcode gig in 2008 and later joined the ranks of the juggernaut collective in 2011, often playing alongside Drumcode founder Adam Beyer and also making her mark with releases on the label. The dancefloor domination has continued with sets at the most prestigious clubs and festivals in the world. 2014 will see Ida kick off a residency for Verboten in NYC plus appearances at Damian Lazarus’s next Rebel Rave and 9th annual Get Lost in Miami. Ida is to follow this up with a series of EPs for Crosstown Rebels so watch this space.

Delivering a superb dub mix of ‘Devil Dance’, prolific UK techno veteran Mr G bestows his unmistakable raw and bass heavy thump and groove with his ‘NY Dub’. Mr G is a legend by anyones standards - a stronghold in the industry as much as in his pioneering days with The Advent. Nowadays Mr G is found lighting up the catalogues of Rekids, Running Back, Bass Culture and Contemporary Scarecrow as well as releasing on his own imprint Phoenix G.

Fellow Swedish techno royalty Adam Beyer delivers a suitably loopy remix of ‘Devil Dance’ - clunking and chunking up the percussion and with a groovy little suction motif, Adam once again proves he’s a true master of rhythm. Launching the now seminal label Drumcode in 1996, Beyer is the kingpin of the Stockholm scene and as well as a plethora of releases on labels Planet Rhythm, Truesoul and of course countless on own labels Drumcode and Code Red.

Electronic music innovator Cormac returns with his latest EP, Gone, due for release on July 25, 2025, through his own imprint, Polari Records. Intimate, emotionally charged, and rooted in queer expression, this project follows the success of his acclaimed singles Heartcore and Leather n Lasers, tracks that have become anthems on queer dancefloors worldwide.

The EP features four distinct interpretations of the title track. Renowned Italo maestro Chinaski contributes the main mix, while electronic legend Ewan Pearson delivers both an extended club version and a deep, atmospheric dub mix. A cold EBM-style version comes courtesy of Fred Terror, a rising French producer whose work has become a fixture in Cormac’s recent DJ sets. The release is mastered by Matthew Styles and showcases Cormac’s distinctive signature: a forward-thinking take on Italo disco, infused with elements of Hi-NRG and new wave pop. Drawing inspiration from pioneers like Patrick Cowley, Bobby O, and Soft Cell, Gone blends synthetic production with raw emotional honesty.

"Gone‘‘ began as a poem, a personal reflection where I told myself I wanted to move beyond heartbreak and choose love, despite the wreckage it had left behind," says Cormac. "I questioned if love was even real anymore—I wasn’t sure. Like many of my tracks, the narrative involves a dancefloor, but it could just as easily be a darkroom, a leather bar, or a gym class - drawing on retro gay aesthetics. If love is real, it can blossom in these spaces just as much as anywhere else."

This EP marks another milestone in Cormac’s ongoing mission with Polari Records: to showcase music that celebrates and preserves queer culture. Named after the secret language once used by LGBTQ+ communities in Britain, Polari has grown into a vital voice in contemporary electronic music, pairing genre-pushing releases with artwork from LGBTQ+ visual artists.

As both a respected DJ and cultural archivist, Cormac’s impact extends well beyond his productions. His work as host of the Queerly Beloved podcast—where he explores the history and future of LGBTQIA+ dance music—has further established him as a steward of underground queer culture.

PREMIERE : Cormac - Gone (Ewan Pearson's Extended Club Mix)

Hot on the heels of the acclaimed Tears Maker Chant 12” LP, illustrious French Electronic duo Froid Dub are back on Ransom Note Records with an interstellar remix package. Featuring the inimitable talents of Richard Fearless, Lena Willikens, Rug Dug, Tia Cousins, Zillas On Acid, Tolouse Low Tax, Timothy Clerkin and Vacant Heads, there is a little something special for all occasions on this colossal record. Slip into something comfortable and sit back.

Opening proceedings, Mr Richard Fearless starts us off with a bang with his remix of Control. Or, indeed, a warp. Bubbly Dubby bass abound, frenetic, IDM-esque beats skip along underneath the low end pummelling before giving way to luxuriant chord progressions. A perfect balance of light and shade, this is a weapons grade banger.

Next up, Lena Willikens puts her own distinctive imprint on Digital Pond. Upping the bpm and the pressure, this dark, synthy, Lofi safari is an anxiety attack is audio format. But an exceptionally pleasurable one!

Lead single comes from Strange Affair with their mix of Just One. Who are Strange Affair, we hear you ask? They are the exquisite combination of two big hitters, Ruf Dug and Tia Cousins! We’re delighted to introduce their maiden voyage as a production pair, and they make waves here with a frenzied reimagining of the original.

Elsewhere, Philly Chug Champions Zillas On Acid turn On The Nose into a dance floor stomper of epic proportions. Tolouse Low Trax takes on Terri’s Dub, sliding into a pair of laidback slacks and sipping a cocktail on the showery terrace, his insouciant approach will have you dancing in the most relaxed way imaginable.

Timothy Clerkin remixes LP lead track Tears Maker, which in Froid Dub’s very own words is “like been catapulted back to a DJ Alfredo mix at Pacha Club in 92”. Hands in the air! Finally, our old friends Oliver Ho and Christian Donaghey (Autumns) team up as Vacant Heads to undertake Tears Maker too, moulding it into an angular, industrial dirge, brimming with sleaze, distortion and grimy 808s. You have been warned!

PREMIERE : Ksky - Bad Philly

Turbo Recordings was founded by Tiga in Montreal back in 1998. In addition to launching his own career, the label has been integral in the success of acts like Chromeo, Gesaffelstein, Duke Dumont and most recently, ANNA & Charlotte de Witte. Core talent includes ZZT (Tiga's collaboration with Zombie Nation), Jori Hulkkonen, BETON, Clouds, Harvard Bass, Pilo, Shaded, Dimitri Veimar and a host of new young producers in genres ranging from pure techno, electro, and house to pop. The list of artists who have released music on the label is a veritable 'who's who' of top-level talent spanning a broad musical range, and this, along with a commitment to beautiful design, has earned the label respect in the industry and a cult following among fans. 

“We started out singing into plastic bags and shipping them to stores as quickly as possible. Later, we discovered that vinyl sounds way better when delivered by kayak. I learned so much the first few years…Now, as I look towards the future, I can envision music for poor people, sonic odors for the hearing impaired, even MP3s for women....Vroom, sucka!” says Tiga, the lyrical lampsman lighting the way down Dance Avenue.
