Jonathan Kaspar 'We Come' on Crosstown Rebels
Crosstown Rebels' latest release comes from Jonathan Kaspar with 'We Come,' a single that pulls new energy into the label's storied catalogue. Out 1 Mar, the track appears under Beatport's Melodic House & Techno genre. "We Come" was also taken up by Damian Lazarus for his Day Zero Sunrise '24 Moments chart, where it placed at number six this week.
Kaspar's work is woven from a dense percussive layer that does most of the track's work. The hit pattern carries the groove at a low volume, with enough space under its peaks for the arrangement to breathe. A shaded top end keeps the record moody and restrained, giving the percussion room to flex and drive.
The release marks the fourth Crosstown Rebels record of 2024 to appear on Beatport, keeping the label busy in its first quarter. It arrives during the last weeks of the Tulum season, as the label's day parties wind down. 'We Come' adds another chapter to what has been a steady run of output from the label this year.
