Crosstown Rebels presents SPIRITS VI

Since its debut in 2017, Damian Lazarus' annual "SPIRITS" series on Crosstown Rebels has been a beacon for breakthrough artists, setting the label's agenda for the year ahead. The sixth installment in February is another meticulously curated lineup with "SPIRITS VI" featuring a blend of new and recognizable talents, including Lauren Lane, Cristina Lazic, Iñigo Vontier, AJ Christou, and many more.

London-based talent Cameron Jack kicks off what looks set to be a breakout year with "The Vision," a bubbly and tropical cut with cosmic synths and loose, jumbled rhythms. Chris Bowl then brings his emotional style to the deep, rolling beats and fresh melodies of "Silent Plain," while NY-born, LA-based house tastemaker Lauren Lane layers in smoky pads and tender whispers to her sublime deep house cut "Fair Game." Next, German talent and Degree Records head Marc Lenz brings darker vibes to his track "People Are People." At the same time, Rebellion artist Cristina Lazic and previous Lazarus collaborator Leia Contois combine for the alluring vocal soul and gritty minimal drums of "So Deep."

Mexican Iñigo Vontier is a pioneer in his homeland after crafting a global reputation, and his twisted synths, shiny textures, and steely drums on "That Trippy Sound" prove why as they work you into a trance. Next is influential Manchester-based DJ/producer AJ Christou, who has released on Hot Creations and Cuttin' Headz. His track "Back & Forth" brings an infectious groove with plenty of flair and catchy drum funk before TMPLE shuts things down with the deft, airy grooves and floating bass of "The Girl In The Room," complete with its tender male vocals.

Crosstown Rebels is a pivotal platform and record label at the forefront of electronic innovation, reflecting the genre's diversity and housing an impressive roster that includes renowned artists and household names like Art Department, Maceo Plex, and Jamie Jones. With sub-labels Rebellion and Secret Teachings in tow, the imprint consistently and continuously expands its musical canvas, creating an immersive landscape for leading and emerging talents to thrive.
