Damian Lazarus (Crosstown Rebels)
Since the moment he spun his first record, Damian Lazarus’s mission has been a clear and urgent one: to blow away the mediocre, the over-inflated, the obsolete; to seek out and celebrate the energetic, the important, the new. Always rebelling, always going places. 

Inspired by the new energy and possibilities in international club culture and music, Lazarus founded Crosstown Rebels in 2003, the label’s records offering all kinds of unique and twisted angles on cutting edge electronic music. Recent releases on Rebels from Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Deniz Kurtel and Art Department have found the label consistently breaking new ground and the new imprints CDR (a digital only label) and Rebellion are set to change the rules once again.

Art Department (Crosstown Rebels, No. 19- Toronto)
Art Department is the brainchild of Canadian techno/house Legend Kenny Glasgow and Canada’s fastest rising star and No.19 label owner - Jonny White. As individuals both Kenny and Jonny have released countless critically acclaimed records and are regarded internationally as two of the most forward thinking, relevant underground producers out of North America.


Droog (*Andrei Osyka* Crosstown Rebels, Cuprit- Los Angeles)
In the last two years, Droog has expanded their reach by playing highly respected clubs and discerning parties around the world. So far their travels have taken them to shows at Fabric, T Bar, Rex Club, Arena Club (Berlin), Space (Miami), Spybar (Chicago), Electric Pickle (Miami), gigs in Barcelona, Moscow, Nottingham, Mexicali & Tijuana, Tampa, New York, San Francisco. This will be Andrei Osyka's first Public Works appearance.

Dead Seal (Crosstown Rebels, No. 19- SF)
an Francisco producer Derrick Boyd aka Dead Seal has been making music for almost of his whole life, one of those special individuals possessed with the gift of perfect pitch. He brings a glimpse of real musicality to the underground tech house and groovy house scene, something rarely experienced on the dance floor.

Re:Body (Briski and Nolan Haener) SF based DJ duo have been throwing proper underground parties (including the Art Department debut at the Compound) and rocking their tasty underground styles all over town for a while now.
