Crystal Fighters

Crystal Fighters will be releasing their forthcoming album, Cave Rave on May 28th via Big Beat/Atlantic/RRP. Cave Rave is a mix of genres from Basque folk to straight electronic and dubstep. Recorded in LA, the album was produced by Justin Mehdal Johnson, and mixed by Manny Marroquin. "You & I" is the first single out from it. The song was debuted on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show as the "Hottest Record In The World". Subsequently it has been added to BBC Radio 1's playlist and 3FM in Holland's playlist as MEGAHIT.

Formed in London in 2007, Crystal Fighters' debut album was Star Of Love, originally released in October 2010 on their label, Zirkulo. Two releases followed in 2011: an Australian Limited Edition, which included a bonus disc of acoustic remixes, and a worldwide Deluxe Edition, which included the acoustic tracks and an additional track.

The album charted in the United Kingdom and Belgium. Its singles have received attention from musicians and producers and some were selected by the band for its compilation album, Star Of Love Remixes, which was released in September 2012.

Crystal Fighters begin a U.S. Tour in June. Their knack for fusing genres has garnered them a reputation for thrilling and involving live shows. This reputation has led to the band being awarded the accolade of "a definite band to watch during the summer festival season" by numerous publications, including The Guardian, Artrocker and Skiddle.
