DAMIAN LAZARUS in ATL June 8th **FULL INFO**
Thursday, June 8th, Cleaning Up The Dirty South and
Blueprint team up to bring you a night of sideways music and keepin it real led by none other than:
DAMIAN LAZARUS (Crosstown Rebels, UK)
The well-deserved hype behind this artist has grown at exponential, unprecedented levels over recent years. Notorious for his live sets that can only be fully appreciated in the flesh, the buzz on Damian is based on word of mouth, rather than PR generated hype. In addition to being a bad-ass behind the decks with a truly unique sound, Damian runs the extremely popular and cutting edge UK-based record label, Crosstown Rebels. While incorporating the electro/tech-house sound so popular these days into an expansive genre playlist, Lazarus finds a way to make his sets undeniably original and utterly inspiring. He explains it as "twisted, raw, deep underground techno, house and electro. Crazy future music that works just as well at peak times in large clubs as it does in the early hours in small spaces."
Along with:
Habersham and Numinous (Blueprint Recorings, ATL)
Factory Aire (C.U.D.S., ATL)
DJ DVA (C.U.D.S., ATL)

Damian only has five U.S. dates (ATL and NYC are the only tour stops east of the Rockies lucky enough to experience one of his infamous live sets!). Out of town guests and local heads alike on June 8th in Atlanta will experience a special night of true underground music...up-close & personal. Atlanta will be the first stop on this limited U.S. tour, and Damian's gig just before ATL is the opening party for his renowned residency at DC-10 in Ibiza. Expect Mr. Lazarus to come prepared with an arsenal of mad new tunes up his sleeve!
Damian Lazarus will be promoting his forthcoming 2xCD mix compilation, Get Lost, mixed with Crosstown's label manager, Matthew Styles. As if playing a high profile party in Ibiza and touring America in the same week isn't enough, on June 6th the highly anticipated Get Lost compilation will be released, two days prior to this on Crosstown Rebels June 6th.
