Warrior Dance by Damian Lazarus feat. Jojo Abot

Damian Lazarus and Jojo Abot unleash the mesmerising new single Warrior Dance on Crosstown Rebels.

Following the initial shock-drop release of his latest album "Magikal" and the 2025 edition of his revered Day Zero Festival in Tulum, Crosstown Rebels founder Damian Lazarus unveils his next sonic offering, "Warrior Dance," featuring Ghanaian interdisciplinary artist and healer Jojo Abot.

A dynamic and powerful composition, ‘Warrior Dance' sees Lazarus and Jojo Abot craft an entrancing fusion of pulsating beats, immersive textures, and commanding vocals, adding to the album's diverse soundscapes and blending hypnotic rhythms with amapiano influences. Their synergy extends beyond this track, with the duo having already collaborated on "Force," another standout moment from "Magikal" that showcases Jojo Abot's evocative vocal prowess and the influence of her Ghanaian roots. She notes, "I think the merging of our individual production styles and cultural influences is really what allowed for these tracks to be dynamic, psychedelic and global in sound. A magickal meeting of worlds…"

The release also features two expertly curated remixes as Lazarus once again showcases his renowned A&R talents. South African trailblazers Major League Djz serve up signature driving and captivating grooves, following their remix of Lazarus' "Into The Sun" feat. Jem Cooke as part of "Crosstown Rebels pres. CR20 The Album: Unreleased Gems and Remixes." Meanwhile, Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based DJ/producer Raxon makes his Crosstown Rebels debut, delivering a tunnelling, driving and off-kilter rework that stays true to his trademark sound, as heard on labels like Kompakt, Ellum, and Diynamic.

With "Warrior Dance," Lazarus continues to showcase his deep appreciation for global sounds, bringing together a fusion of cultures and influences to create an unforgettable listening experience and add another standout moment to "Magikal" - all while continuing to go against the grain in terms of traditional LP rollouts.
