'Damian Lazarus uncovers 'SPIRITS VII', the seventh chapter of Crosstown Rebels' visionary annual compilation series. The eight-track package sees the Crosstown Rebels founder curate another stellar lineup of emerging and established talent for the latest installment of the ongoing highly acclaimed series. Since it's debut in 2017, Damian Lazarus' SPIRITS series has become a de?nitive platform for rising stars and established talent pushing cutting-edge sounds, consistently setting the tone for the year ahead. With the release of 'SPIRITS VII' this February, Crosstown Rebels continues it's tradition of curating groundbreaking talent, delivering an impressive collection of tracks from both new and returning names. Building on the momentum of previous volumes, the eight-tracker o?ers an expertly crafted selection of deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and forward-thinking productions - providing a glimpse into the future of house and techno while staying true to the genre's roots. Opening the release, US-based duo Lisbona Sisters present 'OK GURL', a trippy and warping track with their original vocals that sets an otherworldly tone. Next, Netherlands-based SHARE follows releases on Mobilee and Abracadabra with 'Oh Please... ', an acid-led cut with hooky vocals from Def E? that leave a lasting impression. Next, Bona?que, part of the Maccabi House family, infuse 'Desperadio' with signature Middle Eastern in?uences and organic, rhythmic drums, while Dino Lenny delivers 'I Have Sampled Father', a playful yet o?-kilter cut loaded with a kaleidoscope of diverse elements balanced by captivating grooves. The journey continues with Upercent's 'Where Are You', a dynamic composition characterised by soaring synths, sharp drums, and heavy bass licks. Collaborating on 'Le Tourbillon', Timo Maas & Inamo craft a hypnotic blend of grooves and sweeping melodies, perfect for late-hour moments. Recorded in his Ibiza studio, John Monkman energises the collection with 'Colours', a track brimming with intricate synth work, standout vocals, and dynamic sound design, before Enamour closes with 'Jackpot', a dreamy and hazy masterpiece featuring colourful sonics and enchanting soundscapes. With it's distinct ability to uncover hidden gems and elevate them to global recognition, Crosstown Rebels remains a leading force, and this latest edition of SPIRITS proves precisely why it remains at the forefront of the global electronic scene as one of it's most vital imprints.
