LEFTFIELD release new remix of ‘RAPTURE 16’ ahead of spring 2023 UK tour

Leftfield have today released a new single entitled “Rapture 16”. This is a completely new remix of the album version of the track, featuring the vocals of the incredible Earl 16. Earl first collaborated with Leftfield on the seminal track ‘Release The Pressure’, taken from their legendary debut album ‘Leftism’.

“Rapture 16” is a track that drives along a combination of pulsing synths, echoes and the inimitable vocals of Earl 16 meeting a driving beat. It is another moment of surging hedonism on the latest album ‘This Is What We Do’.

Speaking of Rapture 16, Leftfield say, “It’s Earl’s vocal that makes this track. It’s such a great voice, and the fact that he’s singing about how music shaped him growing up in Jamaica really brought something soulful and special to the track. We’ve tweaked the album mix, so that it really bumps along – it’s going to be a great track to play live.”
