Damian Lazarus unveils the eighth chapter of Crosstown Rebels’ acclaimed annual SPIRITS compilation series.

SPIRITS VIII, out 30th January 2026, blends emerging voices with established names, offering a carefully curated journey through hypnotic house, melodic depth, and late-night energy. Opening with Raz Alon’s immersive Hey It’s Me and Lost Desert’s trippy Ultima, the eight-track collection continues with TIMANTI, STEB, Yuvèe ft. FADO, Ekoboy, MADI, and JUAAN.

Once again, the series champions forward-thinking artists while affirming Crosstown Rebels’ role in shaping contemporary electronic music.
