Following on from last year’s critically acclaimed Heart Of Sky album and its spellbinding live project, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons bring together all of the album’s remixes and a handful of new exclusives. The remix collection is preceded by the single, All I Need To Get High, with remixes from BUTCH and Ae:ther released on the 12th April.

Released last summer, Heart Of Sky inspired in part by Damian’s love of 80s funk and soul artists, combined with his passion for the psychedelic. Leading the remix package is All I Need To Get High a song that ‘is deep, soulful and a little strange. I’m very proud of it,’ Damian says. He explains that he ‘started with the pretext of the melody from the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell classic and built a psychedelic journey inspired by Pink Floyd and gospel choirs’. BUTCH creates a more club aesthetic, adding a deep and rolling bass with squelchy synths and minimal vocals. A mesmerising break bleeds back into the gritty bass. Next to provide their take is Ae:ther. He creates a more sinister and foreboding feel with trance-like elements.

‘Heart Of Sky (The Remixes)’ is released on Crosstown Rebels on the 26th April, featuring exclusive and unreleased remixes from Emanuel Satie, La Fleur and Magit Cacoon.
