Fresh from the success of SOULS Vol.1 in April, Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion gears up for the next edition of the series this October. Rebellion presents SOULS Vol.2 continues the spiritual theme, featuring appearances from label-regulars and debutantes alike in the form of Yulia Niko, Mommo G, Cristina Lazic, Paride Saraceni, Landikhan and MoM.
The VA’s first collaborative effort gets things underway, as Yulia Niko and Mommo G’s It’s All In My Mind manifests as a spacey dancefloor cut thanks to an infectious bassline and hypnotising vocals. Leap Year arrives next courtesy of Cristina Lazic, who delivers a stripped-back, minimal leaning number packed full of dubby undertones, before Paride Saraceni’s Without Your Love ups the pace with wholesome pads and punchy, groove-filled drum patterns. Power Of Life brings proceedings to a gentle close, with Landikhan and MoM’s collaboration taking the form of an emotive, slow-building number that brims with ethereal lyrics.
Russia’s Yulia Niko has become an internationally respected artist thanks to her residency at Watergate Berlin as well as several standout productions on Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical Music and her own TochnoTechno and Live Vibe imprints. Argentina’s Mommo G is a DJ, producer, writer, painter, singer and actor, based in Berlin. Italian-talent Cristina Lazic is a regular on the international DJ circuit, performing at venues such as Egg London, Opium Dublin and Armani Privé Milan. She is also a member of shesaid.so, the world’s community of women in the music industry. Fellow Italian Paride Saraceni has made a name for himself through releases on Tronic, Truesoul and Selador Recordings to name a few. Spanish mainstay Landikhan is a resident of WooMooN Ibiza, head of Thunder Nights Madrid and has appeared on labels including Natura Sonoris, Stil Vor Talent and many more besides. Esteemed Spaniard MoM has found a welcome home on Crosstown Rebels, LNDKHN and Pieces Of Life in recent times, a testament to his skill as a producer.
