The sorcery of Lazarus.
The eternal alchemist.

Crosstown Rebels, Day Zero, Get Lost, his own DJ and production career, the discovery of a wealth of influential talents... all of these achievements and more make Damian Lazarus not only one of the most respected exponents of the contemporary house and techno scene, but also one of its key tastemakers and pathfinders.

Open your mind, embrace the magic and get ready for the next bewitching chapter...

As a DJ, his mastery is unsurpassed. A true storyteller, Damian often holds court at those special times of the day when only his kind of DJ sets are required. Moments that demand a soundtrack that not only fits the mood, but elevates the atmosphere and takes the audience to a whole other level of experience. Besides playing at the world’s best clubbing institutions, Damian also specialises in performing beyond the confines of the walls of a club. He is an expert in performing his magic in extraordinary outdoor locations; jungles, beaches, deserts, mountains and amongst archeological ruins. Just a quick glance at his spellbinding Day Zero festival will tell you what Damian’s ethos is when it comes to creating special moments. Add to that the seminal Get Lost and Rebel Rave events, two more scene defining parties that epitomise his approach to hosting unique shows. This is now intertwined with a mission to make his life, his labels and his parties as environmentally responsible and conscious as possible.

Damian’s visionary abilities are no more apparent than in the curation of music and his discovery of artists via his seminal labels, Crosstown Rebels and Rebellion. During its 18-year lifespan, Crosstown has been responsible for launching the careers of some of our scene’s best known names; Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Art Department, to name a few. His A&R skills are second-to-none and his dedication to seeking out unique talents is unsurpassed. It is this commitment to the outer edges of the dancefloor that has welcomed a constant resurgence of his sound and of his global support.

As anyone who has watched Lazarus DJ or listened to his Lazpod shows can attest, his inspirations are deep and varied, criss crossing show tunes, drum n bass, jazz, electro, soul, house, techno and everything in-between. His new solo album ‘Flourish’ (Crosstown Rebels / Higher Ground) reflects his immersion in a multitude of scenes over the years, from his early days in London's drum n bass movement, to his role as a figurehead in the electroclash scene, and of course the significant impact his Crosstown Rebels label has had on contemporary underground house and techno.

‘Flourish’ is far from a box of functional DJ tools, in the same way as Damian’s debut album ‘Smoke The Monster Out’ or the more worldly outings in his brace of albums with the Ancient Moons collective. It’s a personal, brave and varied body of work. It’s also the work of an artist who has grown over the ten years since his last solo album. Lazarus plays with nuances of texture, tempo and style to create a rich and deep album that takes us on an odyssey that is at times both dark and uplifting. A similar approach that he takes with his "Re-Shapes" (remixes) of other artists.

Throughout his solid and unremitting career, Damian Lazarus has worked tirelessly to maintain a constant flow of creativity and innovation within the electronic music sphere. Never losing focus, he continues on his mystical pathway to greatness, unleashing his positive spirit on the masses at every opportunity. Open your mind, embrace the magic, and get ready for the next bewitching chapter...
