In April, Dub Police figurehead Caspa returned with his sophomore album ‘Alpha Omega’, the long-awaited follow-up to his 2009 debut ‘Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening!’. Making his most decisive musical statement yet, the album runs the gamut of sounds and scenes that inspire Caspa’s music, and the bold move undoubtedly paid dividends. Now, the label is giving ‘Reach For The Sky’ a new lease of life as a single alongside a diverse selection of remixes from The Others, Break and RS4.

Featuring legendary soul singer Diane Charlemagne, who many will know as the voice of Goldie’s seminal track ‘Inner City Life’, ‘Reach For The Sky’ is a an ideal choice as the next single. Channeling rave’s break-driven sugar rush, the euphoric piano melodies perfectly compliment Charlemagne’s soaring vocals, while the tight drum and bass style edits and plunging bassline deliver a big soundsystem production.

Up first on remix duties, label stalwart The Others brings a darker edge to the track, suspending the vocals over lurching drums and heaving bassweight. Drum & bass innovator Break rarely does remixes, but jumped at the opportunity to get involved in this project, twisting the original and inserting intricate drum edits over a rolling rhythm, letting the vocals and melodies from the original set the tone before breaking out into a full on jungle brockout. Completing the package, upcoming talent RS4 delivers a stripped back and low-slung tech house mix utilizing the vocals to complement the funk-lined groove.
