- Earlier this year, it was with great sadness that we lost one of the veteran pioneers of the Dance music scene when Casper Pound sadly passed away. Casper was a big part of Silver Planet label in its early years, and the label pays respects to Casper as a person and a wonderful production talent with the re-release of Rainbows In The Sky, a production made famous in the early nineties by Casper under The Hypnotist guise.
On the a-side, the track gets a fantastic reworking by one of the rising talents in Orchid. He, I must say, turns in a blinding remix that is sure to absolutely do the business worldwide. The beats are crisp and intense from the word go, and the track lifts a notch early on as a nice rolling baseline gives the track a solid foundation to work on. Emotive string patterns as well as some nice subtle vocal samples and melodic effects work their way into the smooth as silk production, a production that takes a fantastic turn late on as the beats become quirky and full of life.
On the flip is the classic Natural High Mix, the mix that was so destructive on the floors in the early 90’s. It definitely has that early 90’s warm feel to it, be it the distinctive piano lines of that era, or the trademark drum patterns and bouncy primitive baselines.
A nice touch from Silver Planet, re-releasing a classic past hit alongside a absolutely storming remix from a producer that will surely make his mark in the next year.
