Laolu makes his Crosstown Rebels debut with ‘Now I See

PRE-ORDER 'NOW I SEE' HERE

Having emerged via his versatile and dynamic DJ sets for the likes of Circoloco, with releases via labels such as Keinemusik, Innervisions and Anjunadeep, Swiss DJ/producer Laolu has stamped his mark while racking up support from Dixon and Black Coffee. Arriving in fine form, he closes out November with a classy label debut on Damian Lazarus’ renowned Crosstown Rebels as he serves up his latest two-track release ‘Now I See’ - a vibrant and personal release shaped and finalised after a decade following the birth of his daughter.

“‘Now I See’ is the last iteration of a demo I left untouched for over a decade. The birth of my daughter gave me the vision and clarity of mind to bring it to completion. For ‘Monday to Sunday’, I wanted to do something different and collaborate with Kamohelo Khoaripe, the frontman of Of The Meds. I loved their song ‘Belter’. It’s a bit of a curveball combining techno influences, afro vocals and a heavily distorted oriental flute.” - Laolu.

Spirited and resonant, combining soulful female vocals with organic percussion and sweeping melodies throughout, ‘Now I See’ is a warm and sonorous production set for heartfelt dancefloor moments, while ‘Monday To Sunday’ featuring the impactful vocals of Kamohelo takes a darker path as swirling bass patterns, menacing synths and warped tones merge around the commanding flute for a powerful late night cut.

Laolu ‘Now I See’ drops via Crosstown Rebels on 24th November 2023.
