The DJ will tour North America this fall and release a DJ mix entitled Night of the Dark Machines on Soma.
Damian Lazarus is the next DJ to be honored with a coveted spot as a mixer in Soma's Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi series this month.
The Crosstown Rebels owner will celebrate his recent relocation to Los Angeles—and the release of the mix—by leaving the city to tour across North American with dates throughout October and November on a jaunt he's calling The Devil Night Tour. Dates in Mexico and Canada are planned, but the tour will focus primarily on the United States with stops in Denver, Boston, New York, Detroit, Miami, San Francisco and, yes, a gig in Los Angeles.
The mix, entitled Night of the Dark Machines, will celebrate Lazarus's love of diverse sounds: It includes Burial, To Rococo Rot, Pulp and some of the usual house suspects as well (Portable, Seth Troxler, Solomun & Stimming). In reference to the title, Lazarus calls it "A misty nightmare where creatures of the dark wrap themselves lovingly around your ears and curl up inside your mind."
