Following a brief insolvency where he was told it was a wise time to get out of the music industry, he re-launched the brand in 2008 seeking out a fresh storm of sounds and the new creatures of the night. Reflecting on a whirlwind journey of Rebel rave ups and downs, Damian is colorfully robust. Immersed in the twisted realm of music’s weird and wonderful history, embracing pop obscurities, electroclash, classic house and showtunes, two years later he founded Crosstown Rebels.

London-born, Lazarus is steeped in the capital’s free rave era, all the way from Norman Jay’s feted sessions at Hoxton’s Bass Clef to Blue Note’s Metalheadz, through his roles as Music Editor, then Assistant Editor, at Dazed & Confused magazine and as A&R man of the City Rockers label back in 2001. Enjoying close ties with Hot Natured and Visionquest, Damian has even revealed he is in talks about forming an ass-whipping ‘Rebels Supergroup.’ You heard it here first.

Re-defining the airspace of house with a torrent of emotionally-charged artist albums from Art Department, Maceo Plex and Deniz Kurtel, the Rebel roster is a veritable temple of talent, attracting a massive crossover of names such as Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Clive Henry, Craig Richards and Soul Clap. In what has been a banner year for the Crosstown Rebels label boss, Lazarus has been busier than ever, opening the floodgates to some of the most popular and in-demand artists in the world of music. An elder statesman of the house music community, Damian Lazarus is the fancy-dress clad production wizard who fronts Crosstown RebelsĪs star-crossed lovers of comedy, costumes, cats and George Michael, it’s surprising Damian Lazarus and Crack have never met before.
