about

Cheptegei (Abel Ray remix) is the new release by British keyboard player and producer Sebastian Reynolds released on 3rd March 2023. Cheptegei was part of the Athletics EP released on 20th May via producer Capitol K’s label Faith & Industry. Athletics EP follows the previous Sebastian Reynolds EPs Crows (August 2021) and Nihilism is Pointless (January 2021). Abel Ray is an acclaimed producer and DJ based in Marrakesh, Morocco who has brought his signature lush sound-craft to bear on the remix.

A life-long lover of athletics and keen amateur middle-distance runner it was only a matter of time before Sebastian’s great passion came to directly inspire his creative output. Cheptegei was inspired by the superstar Ugandan runner Joshua Cheptegei’s record-breaking 5000M run in Monaco in August 2020. A fittingly jubilant affair featuring joyous saxophones from acclaimed reeds man Peter Fraser as well as guitar and bass from Jody Prewett and percussion and synths from drummer and producer Greig Stewart (ex-Guillemots). The track builds around the narrative laid out by the commentary of running legends Tim Hutchings and Steve Cram. When asked about what inspired him to create the track Sebastian explains, “what I found so inspiring was the sheer shock and awe of Cheptegei performing such an incredible feat with no pre-warning or fanfare, a truly exceptional moment in the history of athletics, and one worth commemorating in song. The tone of surprise and disbelief in the commentators’ voices says it all!”.
