Damian Lazarus - Lazpod #11




Crosstown Rebel head honcho Damian Lazarus has recently released his monthly podcast for February '09-->Lazpod #11. This, like the rest of of the Lazpod's, is not your regular DJ mix. Expect lots of psychedelic sounds and rare track selection. I really enjoy it. This is how he describes this months episode:


'FOR THIS SHOW I TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS IN THE STUDIO, MADE MYSELF A NICE CUP OF TEA, SETTLED THE CATS DOWN IN THE CORNER, PULLED OUT SOME PRICELESS OLD GEMS AND PRESSED RECORD.

THERE IS NO CHAT ON THIS SHOW; AND NO SPECIAL AUDIO TRICKERY; JUST ME, YOU AND SOME PSYCHEDLIC BEAUTIES.'



You can subscribe to the podcast HERE


For those of you attending WMC this year, make sure to check out the Crosstown Rebel party brought to you by quality party-throwers SAFE. Here is some more info on the event:

Founders of The London Police Reunite

Word on the street is the founders of that the great London Police (not London's authorities, but rather the legendary art crew) have reunited and started putting out some cool work for 2009.

Retired Plane Turned Into Hostel

Leave it to the great people of Stockholm to turn an old 747 into a HOSTEL! Yes, you read right! The Jumbo Hostel is housed within a 747 in the Stockholm-Arlanda airport. It has 25 rooms with three bunk beds each. Each room is around 6 square meters, and naturally, a lucky visitor will get the chance to sleep in the cockpit.
