'Lilya Mandre makes her Crosstown Rebels debut with her emotive three-tracker, 'Exi(s)t'. The Casablancan artist unveils two originals, including a collaboration with Zac Martel and Jono McCleery, backed by a remix from Haitian star Francis Mercier. Marking her ?rst appearance on Damian Lazarus' iconic Crosstown Rebels imprint, Moroccan-born artist Lilya Mandre steps into the spotlight with 'Exi(s)t'. The EP pairs her expressive, melodic style with a striking vocal feature from UK-based singer-songwriter Jono McCleery and a collaboration with Montreal's Zac Martel, completed by a stellar remix from Haitian heavyweight Francis Mercier. An ascending name in the global electronic sphere, Lilya Mandre channels her Casablanca roots into a sound that balances deep, minimal-leaning grooves with raw emotional weight. Her magnetic presence has already taken her to stages such as Hi Ibiza, where she joined Crosstown head honcho Lazarus for his summer residency, plus the likes of Moga Festival, La Clairiere Paris, and Picnik Electronik, while recent releases on Mind of A Genius, IN/ROTATION and Madorasindahouse continue to position her as one of the scene's most exciting breakthrough candidates. With 'Exi(s)t', she brings this same captivating energy into the studio, weaving powerful collaborations and evocative solo work into a release that captures her artistry in full. Opening track 'A Part Of Your Soul', crafted alongside Canadian producer Zac Martel (Madorasindahouse), sees Lilya also link up with acclaimed English singer-songwriter Jono McCleery (Ninja Tune), whose delicate and soulful vocals glide over rich synth work and ?uid percussion to deliver a stirring and cinematic cut. Deep Roots founder Francis Mercier then steps in on remix duties, injecting his signature blend of worldly percussion and driving energy to transform the original into a hypnotic, club-ready anthem. Closing the package, 'Malou' takes things deeper as Lilya steps out solo, layering subtle melodies and textural ?ourishes for a track that's both restrained and emotionally resonant. With it's balance of expressive collaborations and immersive solo work, 'Exi(s)t' sets a compelling tone and brings an impressive debut to Crosstown Rebels, showcasing her ability to craft moments that resonate both on the dance ?oor and beyond.
