The Reason Why EP by Jonathan Kaspar
Jonathan Kaspar returns to Crosstown Rebels with a dynamic four-track EP that shows his stylistic range and voice.
After an intense touring summer with acclaimed gigs, including Fusion Festival, Fabric London, Else Berlin, and Woodstock 69 Bloemendaal, Jonathan Kaspar lands back on Crosstown Rebels. After remixing CRM head Damian Lazarus with two different versions in 2025 and his last massive "We Come EP" for the label in 2024, Jonathan is in a purple patch right now, with upcoming remixes for the likes of Âme and Acid Pauli. This upcoming release reveals different sides of his sound while still feeling like one cohesive body of work.
The opener "Take Control" will be familiar to fans who have seen Kaspar play recently - it's stripped back but tense, with a searching lead synth and tight, dusty tech drums that grip you and never let up. "The Reason Why" came to life when Bákayan's incredible vocals were added to the deep, dreamy groove, bringing a smoky soul and human warmth that tugs at the heart.
"Play With Me" and "I Love Your Voice" both feature Kaspar's own vocals: the former is a subtle, late-night grower that unfolds with trippy synth details and sci-fi motifs. The closer is a deeply immersive, widescreen, mid-tempo sound that carries a heartfelt reminder to hold on to the voices of the people who love you when everything else gets loud.
