DOWNLOAD: Damian Lazarus - Dr. Whiskers Theme
As the owner of London's Crosstown Rebels label and an internationally renowned DJ, Damian Lazarus is best known for what he does with records rather than for making them himself. That's about to change this summer as he drops his debut album, Smoke the Monster Out, on Get Physical Music. Those expecting the light and brisk tech-house sound Lazarus peddles through his label and plays in his DJ sets will be surprised by the sound at which he's arrived. Together with collaborators Arthur Jeffes and Swedish vocalist twins Taxi Taxi, Lazarus opts for jazzy chamber pop rather than dance music. "Dr. Whiskers Theme" sways to and fro to the tune of melancholic piano lines and pirouettes between the smokey plucked bass line, the wordless vocals of Taxi Taxi waxing and waning throughout. This is the record Crosstown Rebel fans can reach for after clubbing the night away.
Sounds like: Jazzanova, Mr. Scruff
