THE ANCIENT MOONS Vinilo y CD

Review: British electronic music veteran Damian Lazarus recently returned with his band project The Ancient Moons for a new full length entitled Heart Of Sky - which combined cosmic world influences with his love for '80s soul and funk artists such as Loose Ends, Luther Vandross, Maze and Gwen Guthrie. The first single is the evocative and heart wrenching slow-burner "Feedback Loop". It also receives a bunch of terrific remixes, which come courtesy of New York City's Serge Devant who delivers a sleek tech-house perspective, Bedouin's remix nails that woozy and esoteric Crosstown Rebels vibe perfectly but best of all is the legendary Mad Professor who delivers his version: the Ariwa dub 1.

Review: The legendary Crosstown Rebels - a label that's undergone so many changes and mutations over the years - drops a rather tasty 12" by the one and only Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons. "Vermillion" is a wonky and distinctly tribal 4/4 number with seductive pop vocals and a prominent indie feel to its groove. If you were already panicking about a lack of dancefloor debauchery then you needn't worry because there's a tight remix package: Agoria, Jamie Jones and Deniz Kurtel come through to save your dancing feet. Big EP!
