Crosstown Rebels Presents Rebel Rave 3 CD

Unless you've been living in a cave up a remote Scottish mountain for the past few years, you can't have failed to notice the unrelenting success of Damian Lazarus's Crosstown Rebels label. Here, he hands over the controls to Subb-An for a two-disc mix-up of 2012 label highlights that comes bundled with a third disc of unmixed favourites. There's little particularly revelatory, though that's hardly the point; as a showcase of the slinky, touchy-feely, subterranean groovery at which the label excels, it's near perfect. There are one or two surprises - see Subb-An's remix of Tiga classic "Pleasure from the Bass" - as well as hot cuts from the likes of Jamie Jones, Fur Coat, Laura Jones and Maceo Plex.
