A special album project of unreleased cuts and fresh remixes.
Over the past two decades, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels has been at the forefront of electronic dance music, from Krust to Bedouin, from Róisìn Murphy to Dennis Cruz, while playing a pivotal part in the careers of artists like Maceo Plex, Jamie Jones, Art Department, and Seth Troxler, and its scene-defining showcases Day Zero and Get Lost.
Now, the brand has shared the drop of ‘CR20 The Album: Unreleased Gems and Remixes’. The new VA package is comprised of six stellar, high-profile remixes of releases from the label’s catalog, alongside two previously unreleased original gems.
“So 2023 will mark the label’s 20th Anniversary. This is an opportunity for the Crosstown Rebels family, a global community of artists, DJs, and creatives, and the label’s myriad of followers to celebrate this momentous milestone. There will be parties and events around the world. A killer compilation of exclusives and special remixes, a beautiful coffee table book, a short film, and a special launch event are planned to bring together the sights and sounds of the label’s unique and influential history. There are lots to share, announce and reminisce. 20 years young,” says Damian Lazarus about the milestone.
The new package features new takes and unreleased cuts from Major League DJz, Art Department, Dennis Cruz, Michael Mayer, Black Coffee, Adam Ten & Yamagucci, Maceo Plex, and Tibi Dabo. The 20 Year celebrations will also welcome a 192-page hardback book, ’20 Years Of Magic, Madness and Music’, written by renowned journalist and key underground music player Joe Muggs, and a feature-length documentary directed by acclaimed director David Terranova.
