Magickal: Remixed (Part 1) [12" Vinyl]

Damian Lazarus - Magickal: Remixed (Part 1) [12" Vinyl]

Following the release of his fifth studio album 'Magickal' at the start of 2025, Damian Lazarus now opens a new chapter in the project's evolution with 'Magickal Remixed (Part I)', this first installment of the two-part series features bold reimagining's from Harry Romero, Jonathan Kaspar, THEMBA, and Mestiza, offering four fresh takes on standout cuts from the acclaimed long-player. The package opens with Harry Romero's 'Raw Dog' remix of 'R U Dreaming?', originally a deeply introspective cut featuring Canadian maestro Mathew Jonson. Here, the New York favorite dials up the low-end pressure and rhythmic weight, bringing raw tribal energy and heavyweight swing to the original's dreamlike tones. Jonathan Kaspar's 'Sunrise Remix' of 'Falling Down', Lazarus' collaboration with TEED and A-Trak, comes next. Channeling radiant euphoria through rising pads and sweeping melodic phrasing, it leans into the emotional intensity of the original while transforming it into a full-blown moment of sunrise transcendence. On the B Side THEMBA delivers striking remix of Damian Lazarus and Jem Cooke's 'Searchin'. THEMBA's remix builds on that foundation and takes it into expansive, Afro-infused club territory, layering hypnotic percussion, deep rolling grooves, and subtle atmospheric shifts that heighten the emotion and push the track into new late-night spaces. Closing out the release, Spanish duo Mestiza return to reinterpret their collaboration with the Crosstown head honcho, 'La Hija De Juan Simon'. Expanding on the track's flamenco-inspired roots, they layer hand-played percussion, haunting vocal flourishes, and dense atmospheres into a hypnotic, slow-burning groove, bridging folklore and futurism in their unmistakable style.
