Damian Lazarus reveals the eighth chapter of Crosstown Rebels’ acclaimed annual ‘SPIRITS’ VA compilation series. The latest instalment sees the label founder once again curating a carefully balanced lineup of emerging voices and established names, with the eight-track by Raz Alon, Lost Desert, TIMANTI, STEB, Yuvèe, Ekoboy, MADI, and UAAN.

Since its inception in 2017, Damian Lazarus’ SPIRITS series has become a trusted barometer for the year ahead, spotlighting forward-thinking artists and cutting-edge club music from across the global electronic landscape. With ‘SPIRITS VIII’, Crosstown Rebels continues this tradition, delivering a refined yet adventurous selection that moves seamlessly between hypnotic house, melodic depth, and late-night energy – building on the momentum of previous volumes and capturing the label’s unmistakable essence.

Opening the release, Raz Alon sets the tone with ‘Hey It’s Me’, a warm and immersive opener that draws listeners in with emotive touches and fluid groove work. Lost Desert follows with ‘Ultima’, leaning into trippy, melodic-tinged sensibilities as tumbling rhythms meet expansive atmospheres and subtly evolving motifs. On the flip, TIMANTI ventures into a captivating voyage with ‘Warrior Spirit’, pairing swirling synths with hazy melodies, before STEB delivers ‘House Of STEB’, a groove-led cut packed with personality, swing, and club-ready flair.

The journey continues with Yuvèe’s ‘Set The Fire’, featuring FADO, a hypnotic and vocal-led track that balances emotional weight with understated rhythmic pressure. Ekoboy then ups the intensity on ‘Lose Control’, combining crisp percussion with infectious momentum designed for peak-time moments. On the final stretch, MADI brings a reflective but playful touch with ‘Around Me’, weaving lush textures and subtle dynamics into a deeply absorbing listen, before JUAAN closes the compilation with ‘Bass Cliente’, a punchy and bass-forward finale that rounds things out with raw club energy.

With its continued ability to champion new talent while welcoming respected artists into its orbit, Crosstown Rebels remains a vital force within electronic music. ‘SPIRITS VIII’ stands as another clear statement of the label’s vision, reaﬃrming its role in shaping the sound of contemporary house and techno.

We are presenting ‘House of STEB’.

‘SPIRITS VIII’ VA will be available after January 30th HERE.

PREMIERE: STEB feat. Dario Rossi – Kauris 1979 (Van Der Kirche & THC Remix)

STEB delivers a brand new single featuring Dario Rossi and remixes from Marvin & Guy, Feel Fly and Van Der Kirche & THC.

Italian STEB is no stranger to cooking up floor filling hits. For this latest offering he works with Dario Rossi, a renowned drummer with a signature style like no one else. Their ‘Kauris 1979’ is a beautifully deep house track with shimmering chords and twinkling melodies. Echoing claps help drive this most classy of tunes forwards under subtle vocal sounds and the whole atmosphere is full of late-night magic.

The vibrant Marvin & Guy are celebrated artists who bring colour and charm to their work on labels like Life and Death, Permanent Vacation, Correspondant and Hivern Discs. It often has a cosmic edge and that’s the case here with this excellent remix. It layers in mysterious whistling leads and 80s synth sounds as well as a rasping bassline that brings a different perspective than the original. The remix has already picked up early support from The Blessed Madonna and also comes with a second timeless Marvin & Guy disco remix for the digital EP.

Feel Fly is a project that straddles worlds and scenes with influences from ambient, house and disco on top outlets like International Feel Recordings. This remix brings all that alongside some feel-good piano chords that light up a punchy nineties house bassline. It’s a stylish party starter for sure. Eclectic old-school producers and musicians Van Der Kirche & THC then join forces for an expansive broken beat remix with crisp hits and silky bass all making for a sublime trip.

‘Kauris 1979’ EP is a package packed with disco-tinged grooves for late-night dance floors.

We are presenting the remix from Van Der Kirche & THC.

‘Kauris 1979’ EP will be available after the 30th of June HERE.
