Desire by AJ Christou

Manchester-based favourite AJ Christou continues his impressive start to 2025 as he steps up for his first full release on Damian Lazarus' revered Crosstown Rebels imprint with his latest two-track EP, "Desire." An exciting name in the contemporary house landscape, Christou has earned his ever-rising reputation with releases on influential imprints such as Hot Creations, Paradise Music, Cuttin' Headz, and Fools' Gold Records, collaborating with renowned names like A-Trak and Robert Owens, as well as his own V-House Sound imprint. Now, with "Desire," the DJ/producer and label boss delivers a refined yet electrifying showcase of his sound, blending rolling grooves and subtle intricacies.

This is crazy to finally have my own Crosstown Rebels EP! I have been collecting and playing their records for as long as I can remember, and after my recent release on the Spirits VA, it was my goal to achieve a full release!!!

The title track, "Desire," opens the release with its deep, pulsating basslines, crisp percussion, and a sultry vocal line that draws listeners into its infectious energy. On the flip, "Patience" offers a more subtle yet equally engaging journey, featuring textured soundscapes, dynamic drum arrangements, and a groove-laden core primed for late-night moments. Providing another standout addition to his catalogue, "Desire" marks Christou's return to Crosstown Rebels in style, further solidifying his position within the global scene.
