The Blackbox Weekly Saturday's

Prepare to be mesmerised on November 21 as Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus headlines Mixmag Live.

What a year it's been for the British DJ and producer. Alongside his live band The Ancient Moons, he released his second album, 'Message From The Other Side', a superb collection of 14 cosmic, spell-binding cuts, and took it on a tour that included IMS in Ibiza, Glastonbury and Germany's Melt! Festival.

His summer solo schedule was jam-packed, too, regularly taking to the decks at DC10 party Circoloco, joining Richie Hawtin at ENTER. at Space and treating festival-goers to his eccentric psychedelic house and techno sets in the US, Russia, Poland, Canada and plenty more places across the globe.

All of that's just part of the reason he fronts the December issue of Mixmag. A key figure in the electroclash movement back in the day, he later formed the hugely influential Crosstown Rebels – which ignited the careers of house and techno champions such as Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Art Department and Maceo Plex.
