Crosstown Rebels has remained at the forefront of contemporary dance music for nearly two decades. Championing both breakthrough artists, as well as those well-established, label head Damian Lazarus, global house duo Gorgon City, and rising vocalist Leia Contois team up on 'Start Over', Crosstown's biggest release of the year so far. Tribal-like drum patterns get things underway on 'Start Over', as we're soon graced with the enchanting vocals of Leia Contois. Mesmeric and moving, her delicate lyrical offerings complement the electronic sounds of Damian and Gorgon City, with the introduction of a driving lead bassline in the track's second half helping to create a hard, club-ready edge. It feels emotive and geared for the dancefloor simultaneously, showcasing an innate chemistry between each artist.Damian Lazarus: DJ, producer, Crosstown Rebels label-head and internationally recognized talent.
