Crosstown Rebels Presents Rebel Rave 4 CD

Given that the previous instalment in the Rebel Rave series landed two years ago last month, this fourth volume is well overdue. As usual, there's much to admire for those hooked on the fluid, deep, immersive and tech-tinged sound pushed forward by Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels imprint, with two unmixed discs of "rare remixes and special cuts" being joined by a thrill-a-minute DJ mix from Matthew Styles. While that mix is hugely enjoyable, it's the unmixed selections that will entice DJs. Given that these include fine cuts and remixes from Matthew Jonson, Sub-Ann, Jamie Jones, Eats Everything, Cassius, Ali Love, Pezzner and Psychemagik, amongst others, it's an understandable attitude.
