Damian Lazarus’ imprint Crosstown Rebels will release a solo EP by German DJ and producer Jonathan Kaspar in August. Transcending melodic techno and sultry house, the 4-track Overfree release echoes the cinematic but club-driven aesthetic of the Bonn-born artist.

Reflecting on his Overfree EP, Kaspar says he is "super happy about my first full solo EP with Crosstown Rebels and also about the four tracks which Damian selected for it. They somehow show a whole DJ Set of mine, containing different emotions and feelings: starting deep, peaking and ending conciliatory." Enter the rabbit hole through the title track and its constellation of starry synth notes and a chugging bassline. Magic. 

Ten floats in next as a slow-burning melody curls around a bleepy percussive pattern. On the flip, Kaspar goes deep via Piece Of, as staccato piano notes and a soft kickdrum evokes ethereal textures, the kind that marks the end of an all-night-long DJ set. Kaspar collaborates with Canadian singer and songwriter Graham Baxter on the closing track Unify. It's a sublime meeting of the minds as Baxter’s ghostly vocals collide with Kaspar's dreamy grooves and rippling bassline. Surreal synergies, made with the dancefloor and introspective listener in mind.

Jonathan Kaspar is a Cologne-based producer and DJ with an evolving collection spanning Cocoon, Innervisions and Kompakt. Kaspar's roots in dance music stem from his student days studying medicine, when he promoted parties in his native Bonn, Germany, to fund his studies. After graduating, he followed a winding road in producing and DJing and delivered his debut release on Upon You Records in 2015. A slew of solid releases followed suit on Objektivity, These Eyes, ouï and Kompakt. Like his productions, Kaspar's DJ sets convey stories, stitching a range of atmospheric tones and tingling melodies that capture his audience's imagination. He garners a residency at Cologne's esteemed Gewölbe club and enjoys curating all-night-long sets and inviting international names to play alongside him. Beyond Cologne, Kaspar's played at German institutions Watergate, Kater Blau and Fusion Club, as well as Volt Club in Milan, T7 in Paris and Extrema Open Air in Hasselt.

Motip White - The Infinite Edge

xyzlabel.lnk.to/TheInfiniteEdge

Cologne’s Motip White is back on When We Dip XYZ with ‘The Infinite Edge’ EP, a two-tracker which showcases Motip’s songwriting prowess coupled with his signature raw, grimy sound.

On the title track, ‘The Infinite Edge’ the twists and turns of the bass progression make way for the celestial melodies and gritty drums. The hopeful harmony and upbeat vocals contrasts with White’s lyrics speaking of losing his mind in an ever-confusing world which keeps on moving faster and faster. 

On ‘Straight To The Sun’, the saturated combo of vocals and guitar lead the way. The raspy bassline and the triplet kicks interact with the hats and shakers invigorating the groove. White’s hummed vocals in the break lighten the mood, pulling hips and ears straight to the Springtime sun.

Jonathan Kaspar, fresh from the release of his excellent 'We Come' EP on Crosstown Rebels, now turns his talent to remixing 'Open Door'; the deep, emotive, broken beat number from the Polish duo's glorious 2015 Album 'Basic Colour Theory.'

Utilising Cloud Boat's beautiful vocal with precision, Kaspar crafts a mystical, simmering late night soundtrack. One that is set to be a firm favourite for the season ahead.

Tanzgemeinschaft unveils a powerful two-track release from rising artist @Prexse, titled Pyrite—a refined blend of melodic house & techno that explores both raw energy and introspective depth. With Pyrite and Exzenter, Prexse demonstrates a sharp ear for texture, groove, and evolving emotion.

The title track, “Pyrite,” opens with a tightly wound groove that immediately locks you in. A haunting melodic riff slowly emerges from beneath the surface, shimmering like the track’s namesake mineral—beautiful, structured, but never predictable. There’s a restrained intensity throughout, as Prexse carefully controls the build, letting tension smolder just below the surface. The result is a track that feels both grounded and atmospheric, equally suited for dark rooms or peak-hour outdoor sets.

“Exzenter” follows with a more hypnotic and progressive flair. The rhythm rolls effortlessly, layered with intricate synth work and rhythmic accents that swirl like smoke. It leans into repetition, but not monotony—each element evolves just enough to pull the listener deeper into its groove. There’s a subtle emotional edge here, giving the track a sense of forward motion without urgency.

Together, Pyrite and Exzenter showcase Prexse’s ability to balance drive and detail, delivering music that moves bodies and minds alike. A confident, late-night statement for the discerning selector.
