Damian Lazarus is a British DJ and producer based in London, widely recognised for his hypnotic, ritualistic approach to house and techno. He founded the Crosstown Rebels label in 2003 and launched the Day Zero festival series in Tulum in 2012, which has since expanded to Brazil and Bali. His 2021 collaboration with Diplo and Jungle, 'Don't Be Afraid', earned a Grammy nomination, and in January 2025 he released his fifth studio album, 'Magickal', on Crosstown Rebels.
Day Zero held its first Bali edition on April 17, 2026 at GWK Cultural Park with Bonobo (DJ-set), Âme and Jamie Jones on the lineup.
Lazarus concluded his four-year residency in Club Room at Hï Ibiza with Black Coffee in 2026 to return to guest appearances at the island's iconic venues.
Day Zero celebrated its 12th edition in Tulum on January 10, 2026 with Lazarus, Seth Troxler, Mau P and Vintage Culture on the lineup.
Lazarus released his fifth studio album 'Magickal' on Crosstown Rebels on January 8, 2025 as a surprise release without prior singles - a deliberate counter-reaction to industry norms.
The accompanying 'Magickal World Tour' spanned four continents in the first half of 2025 with over 40 stops, including performances on both weekends of Coachella.
