Italian pairing The Deepshakerz make their long-awaited return to Damian Lazarus’ iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint with their latest EP ‘Give It 2 U’, set to open May in style. The three-track offering signals an exciting return to the label for the Bari-born artists, who have become known for their percussive, groove-led sound across acclaimed releases on Moon Harbour, Knee Deep In Sound, and Glasgow Underground – following on from their label debut ‘Fire’ with Aaron Pfeiffer
on the label in 2023.

“We’ve been huge fans of Crosstown Rebels for years. It is one of our absolute favourite labels, and it’s always an honour for us to release music here. The love for the percussion and the melodic vibes we hear every time on this label gives us the inspiration to experiment and create something truly special. This EP perfectly combines what we love to make and play right now!” – The Deepshakerz.

Their ‘Give It 2 U’ EP features three tracks that exemplify the pair’s ever-evolving sound, taking in influences from afrohouse to early Chicago house. The title track ‘Give It 2 U’ kicks things off with infectious percussion and a driving groove, setting the tone for the entire release. On the flip side, ‘The Beginning Groove’ explores deeper, hypnotic territories with further rolling rhythms and hooky stabs, while ‘Green Light’ featuring Dennis Wonder switches up proceedings, bringing a no-nonsense dancefloor groove with a blend of punchy, skippy drums, uplifting melodies and smooth vocals.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘The Beginning Groove’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
