The newest talent to be added to the Crosstown Rebels roster is the Iranian-Canadian Amirali who appears with his debut album. Grooving between downbeat, house, electronic-pop with his own vocals threading through the tracks, a warm embracing album that matches the CR-ethos, yet offers something a bit different.

Lauer, Actress, Maya Jane Coles, Lazer Sword
As if to salute the northern hemisphere's arrival of Spring, our virtual shelves have been filled to the brim with fantastic music this month, culminating in today's 100+ new releases.
For our star-studded Essentials we've done our best to narrow down the more...
Maceo Plex getting frisky with the bitter-sweet title track, confidently deploying vocoders and melancholic pads. 'Sex Appeal' on the flip heads in a more funky direction, infusing his unrivaled electro-disco style with a robotic acid touch. Perfect as always from Eric Estornel.

Mouse On Mars, Regis, Terranova, Burial
If it weren't for today's free bonus day we would have had to miss out on a few amazing releases this February: Regis' three-volume 'Complete Works' for instance or Edward's debut album on White Music, which have just barely made the deadline for this month's more...
Amirali's 'Beautiful World' closely follows the Art Department template with heavy house beats, techno-funk vibes and pop vocals, but it's actually Deniz Kurtel's stripped down electro mix that best satisfies our thirst for Depeche Mode revivalism. Hrdvsion's dreamy version comes also recommended.
Dayz
(Track 01 on this EP)
Wagon Repair's main man Mathew Jonson makes an appearance on Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels. 'Dayz' is a sweet arpeggiated slice of melodic techno for early morning hours, 'Cold Blooded' a more brooding electroid track with a surprise killer foggy abstraction remix from dBridge.

Chilean-NYC wonder Dinky appears on Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels with two sumptuous dancefloor cuts. 'Sealed' whirls a hypnotic vocal loop over elegantly grooving percussion, 'Eeled' shimmers with minimalist melodic flair. Very nice.

Selected as release of the week
Crosstown Rebels has certainly dominated and guided in 2011, reinventing underground house vibes into ever-fresh dancefloor dynamite. This 32 track compilation proves their feat, with highlights from usual suspects such as Maceo Plex, Deniz Kurtel, Quenum and an exclusive Art Dept remix of Jamie Jones. Yeah!
Second Crosstown Rebels release for Nico Purman and the Argentian producer elegantly nails it with four disco/boogie inspired house cuts. Brisk funk licks, touches of electro and spacious vibes make this a must for fans of Soul Clap, Francisco or Raiders Of The Lost Arp.
