CR20

20 years of madness, magic & music

Tour / Book / Compilation / Exhibition / Film
About

20 years ago I dreamed a dream of creating a family of like minded, crazy individuals from all corners of the planet - releasing music to the world and making people dance. That dream was Crosstown Rebels and this year we are 20.

Over these years I have forged beautiful friendships, discovered very talented artists and tried my best to help, advise and support some of the most colourful characters in dance music. Crosstown Rebels is more than a record label, it is Family.

So 2023 will mark the label’s 20th anniversary. This is an opportunity for the Crosstown Rebels family, a global community of artists, DJs and creatives, and the label’s myriad of followers to celebrate this momentous milestone. With support from our friends at Volcan Tequila, there will be parties and events around the world. A killer compilation of exclusives and special remixes is in the works. There’s also a beautiful coffee table book, a short film, and a special launch event are planned to bring together the sights and sounds of the label’s unique and influential history. There’s lots to share, announce and reminisce. 20 years young.

THE TOUR

Spectacular parties have always been at the very heart of Crosstown Rebels, so the 20th anniversary celebrations will be no different.

Spectacular parties have always been at the very heart of Crosstown Rebels, so the 20th anniversary celebrations will be no different.

We will be celebrating these 20 years by visiting those clubs, cities and places that have been part of the label’s story, and taking on the road many of our most loved artists, as well as some of the label’s hottest new talent.

The tour begins at our legendary Get Lost party in Miami, where we’ll be bringing over 90 artists from around the world to play the 24 hour carnival, perfectly rounding out Miami Music Week.

We’ll then take the show on the road, stopping off at Bali, Tokyo, Ibiza, Dubai, Istanbul, Rome, Paris, London and Berlin.

THE Book

We have started to bring together the 192 page hardback book telling the story of Crosstown Rebels’ two decades of ‘magic, madness and music’.

Featuring a plethora of never before seen photographs, the book is an extensive visual history of the label, with accompanying text written by Joe Muggs.

Joe Muggs has been a fixture in underground music for quarter of a century as a DJ, promoter, and most notably as a journalist for the Guardian, the Telegraph, FACT, Mixmag, and the Wire.

Through interviews with the label’s key players, Joe will tell the definitive story of the label’s ascension.

This lavishly produced book will be printed and bound in the UK by PurePrint, as a carbon neutral publication printed on recycled paper stock with the most eco-friendly inks available.

Pre-Order Details To Be Announced Soon

THE ALBUM

A lavish double album featuring a hand-picked selection of rarities and newly commissioned remixes will be released to tie in with the celebrations.

Tracklisting and Pre-order details to be announced soon

THE film

A new feature length documentary has been commissioned.

Acclaimed director David Terranova filmed the exploits of Crosstown Rebels between 2007-2015, with unique access, a series of ‘Rebel Rave’ film captured the  artists, the parties and the rise of the label around the world.

In 2023 Terranova revisits that footage, plus outtakes and with new filmed footage of Lazarus and the label in 2023, the new film will be a special celebration of the label’s history.

Volcan event

vulcan

CR20 is presented in partnership with Volcan X.A

Driven by a passion to craft the best of what Tequila can offer, Volcan X.A reveals a unique expression of its kind, the result of an alchemy only a volcano and centuries of Mexican heritage and craftsmanship could create. Volcan X.A, an innovative blend of Reposado, Añejo and Extra-Añejo tequilas, is made from 100% Blue Agave and zero additives. With its unique aromatic expression, revealed in a creative bottle design, Volcan X.A pays tribute to the Volcano named ‘Tequila’. Volcan X.A, which erupted into the Ultra-premium tequila category in 2022, is dedicated to igniting a sense of aliveness filled with possibility through the lens of music. We are honored to be the official partner of the Crosstown Rebels 20th anniversary.
