Damian Lazarus Interview & DJ Set
on BEATS IN SPACE - WNYU 89.1FM


DAMIAN LAZARUS

Damian’s SUCK MY DECK selection is a top-notch mix by this all round hedonist, “dance floor DJ extraordinaire and keeper of the funk.” There are some album exclusives (Freaks “Tweekers” and Border Community wonder boy James Holden’s track “Lump”). There are some forthcoming treats from Crosstown Rebels (Pier Bucci / Matt Tollfrey & Craig Sylvester). There are some huge dancefloor moments with Trentemoller, Issakidis, and the massive Superpitcher remix of M83. And there are some real surprises including Ricardo Villalobos’ criminally overlooked mix of Thomas Dolby and even the The Stranglers. While Damian brings his party aesthetic across the globe this summer, this soundtrack will be one of the summer’s essential electronic must-haves.


Damian Lazarus is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting DJ’s on the scene today with a sound that’s all about forward thinking electronic music and the more twisted hours of the morning. His faultless musical selection has picked up props around the world and most recently, Damian’s afterhours DJing sessions at the Winter Music Conference were one of this year’s highlights. He constantly delivers a fresh and unique sound best described as dirty & deep, electro house - a rebel sound designed for lovers of late night madness, future dance floor classics and cutting edge new ideas. Elsewhere, his DJing antics have taken him to such respected spaces as Bugged Out! in London, Zouk in Singapore, Rex in Paris, Circo Loco at DC-10 in Ibiza, plus DJing tours to Australia, Mexico, the United States, and a host of other dirty & sweaty underground parties around the world.

Damian Lazarus is giving less commercial music a big kick in the ass, and debauched dancefloors the world over are eating it up. – BPM Magazine

Damian Lazarus is keeping the off-kilter party-hard spirit of his sadly defunct City Rockers label alive…All sorts of funky basslines and electro glitches collide in this unashamedly groove tech-house mashup, making [Rebel Futurism 2] one dirty, sweaty, eardrum-popping compilation that doesn’t let up until minute 72. – XLR8R

Lazarus works best under the auspices of bringing underground beats to the masses. For anyone with an inkling of curiosity for what’s been going on in the world’s better dance clubs, Rebel Futurism is a one-stop primer on recent dance history. - EXCLAIM

British DJ and producer Damian Lazarus purveys dance-floor futurism through his imprint Crosstown Rebels. The sound is at once familiar -- think Rephlex-style Luke Vibert mixed with a bit of industrial techno -- and eerie: the records he spins are hard-hitting enough to rock any nightclub yet sleek and sensuous enough to entice listeners with discrete sensibilities. Many are bemoaning a dearth of innovative artists at this year's WMC, but if you can catch this rebel futurist DJ'ing, you're likely to get all the edginess you can handle. –MIAMI NEW TIMES
