"DAMIAN LAZARUS PLAYS THE BEST UNDERGROUND RECORDS IN THE WORLD" (DJ
MAGAZINE MAY 2004)
Damian Lazarus delivers a fresh and unique sound best described as dirty &
deep, electro house - a rebel sound designed for lovers of late night
madness, future dance floor classics and cutting edge new ideas.
With dj sets designed for good time party heads - his style combines the
most upfront twisted music with a touch of attitude.
As former Head of A&R for UK based label, City Rockers, Lazarus divided his
time between signing and developing the next wave of future bands/artists
and spinning the most vibrant new tunes to like minded clubbers. He is
responsible for signing and releasing classics like Felix's Silver Screen,
Tiga's Sunglasses and Coloursound's Fly With Me.
At the end of 2002, City Rockers was voted "Label of the Year" by various music magazine and the genre defining compilations, Futurism 1 and 2 (both
compiled and mixed by Damian) were included in many music publication's
'Albums of the Year' lists.
Damian received a djing major break in 2002 when he was invited to spin at
Barcelona's Sonar Festival and by 2003, He had four perfect residencies at
four of the best club spaces in the world - Circo Loco at DC10 (Ibiza),
Polar TV (Berlin), The Loft (Barcelona) and 21st Century Bodyrockers
(London).
With his style and sound developing in 2004, Damian launched his new label,
Crosstown Rebels. Rebels is firmly dedicated to the support and development
of the best cutting edge, international underground Electronic dance music.
Rebel artists include Kiki & Silversurfer, Phonique, Hiem, Adam Sky, Frankie
Flowerz and the Glimmer Twins amongst many other next level producers and
artists.
Damian has just released his first ever dj mix album - REBEL FUTURISM
SESSION ONE - to great critical acclaim. (See below)
Always a lover of 'proper' music - and not a fan of mainstream music
machines - Damian Lazarus is a believer in giving people something exciting,
special and different.
PRESS FOR REBEL FUTURISM SESSION ONE
Time Out - Rebel Futurism is sure to be rated one of the best comps of 2004.
Q - A collection with bite 4/5
Jockey Slut - If anyone questions why you still love nightclubs then just
play them this . Comp of the month 9/10.
DJ - Plenty of people have dared to take dance music in new directions over
the years but few ever genuinely take it anywhere. Damian Lazarus is an
exception to this rule. Comp of the month 5/5 Jack - If Nag Nag Nag just
isn't electrokore enough for you. Then head to the shop's and buy 'rebel
futurism'. It's elektrik!
Loaded - We are not going to bang on about what's happened to dance music
cos' quite frankly, who cares? But it can still come up with music like
Rebel Futurism 4/5
