Damian Lazarus is a British DJ, producer and label founder whose influence on underground electronic music stretches back to the early 2000s. He runs Crosstown Rebels - the London imprint that launched careers of Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex and Art Department - and created the Day Zero festival in Tulum, Mexico. His fifth studio album, Magickal (January 2025), arrived as a surprise drop alongside Day Zero and drew wide critical attention. Among his collaborations is the Grammy-nominated 'Don't Be Afraid' with Diplo and Jungle (2021).
Lazarus ended his four-year Hï Ibiza residency with Black Coffee in 2026 to pursue a freer touring schedule and guest appearances at the island's other events.
Day Zero announced new editions in Brazil and Bali for 2026, expanding beyond its original Tulum home.
Magickal was released on vinyl as a 3LP on Crosstown Rebels on 11 April 2025, following its digital surprise drop in January.
Lazarus released his fifth studio album Magickal on 8 January 2025 as an unannounced surprise drop, timed to coincide with Day Zero Tulum.
The Magickal World Tour launched from Day Zero and covered over 40 stops across four continents, including Coachella and Glastonbury.
