The Crosstown Rebels chief is offering up two-and-a-half hours of his four-hour set from the Robot Heart Bus at Burning Man 2011. Expect plenty of those flabby Rebels basslines and skewed synthesizers.
Going out to Burning Man this year, but haven't made your way out yet? The Crosstown Rebels boss thinks he has the proper desert vibes with this Playa warm-up session. LCD Soundsystem, among many others, make the cut.
The latest Crosstown Rebels film comes from Peru, in which Damian Lazarus, Clive Henry and Jamie Jones play the country's first ever day time beach party and visit Machu Picchu.
Crosstown Rebels is proud to announce our newest release from James What "About Love" out today on all digital retailers:
James What steps up with his first solo release for Crosstown Rebels, building on his collaborations on the label in the past with an emotive pair of dancefloor weapons in ‘About Love’.
The two tracks of the packaged are intertwined and related in concept and spirit. Distant and edgy yet utterly enveloping, their melancholic backbone sits comfortably amidst the dreamy and evocative atmospheres.
‘About Love’ is an earth-shattering dancefloor classic to get lost in the wee hours. Calling cries of “this thing used to be about love” set a despondent tone but hopes is wrapped in the rhythm and an element of nostalgia tied within the rave style synths.
On the B-side, ‘A Target For The Scene’ is just as mysterious with a mischievous sample in an alluring female tone describing her introduction to the world of drugs and addiction. Seducing with electronic stabs of melody, ‘A Target’ engulfs the listener in a spellbound web of sound.
Inspired by Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol’s muse from his infamous Factory days, this pairing of tracks possesses a distinct air of sexiness, mystery and fervent in keeping with her qualities. Made during his recent move to San Francisco, James What has been busying penning a slew of new solo material including a forthcoming EP for Poker Flat. Interestingly his long term musical partner, Dan Berkson has also signed forthcoming solo material to Crosstown Rebels, coming later this year, and follows on from their earlier collaborations on the label.
