White Men Could Jump…Now Just Dubsteps. Once upon a time in jolly ol’ England, Gary McCann was a promising basketball star. Like all stars though, it eventually ran its course and sadly burned out. But, in its place, a ghost named “Caspa” was manifest and now bounces a different beat intent on dribbling your eardrums. While listening to this poltergeist murder the crowd at HARDfest this past weekend in Los Angeles, I could see that there was definitely no one reaching for a phone to call you know who.

If anything the success of the first dubstep remix of a major US rap-star, his remix of Ludacris’ ‘How Low Can You Go’, has kept his phone lines ringing from the likes of Lily Allen to The Arctic Monkey’s. In a relativity short amount of time, “Caspa”, has become one name most likely to pop up on Ouija boards at anti-slumber parties and dancehall’s across the UK and abroad. His upcoming EP, Love Never Dies (Back for the First Time), is a 4 trak ethereal mix featuring another well known entity “Mr. Hudson” and will be followed shortly by a mix CD labeled “My Style”. Now if only iTunes would start accepting chants in the mirror as payment…Caspa, Caspa, CASPA!
