Who better to kick off the series than Tim Reaper: The London based DJ and producer has become a figurehead of the UK's jungle revival and, via his Future Retro label and events, has been spreading the gospel of jungle's new wave to a future generation of listeners; with releases on labels including Deep Jungle, Myor and Hooversound among others. His remix of 2021's 'Unwound' is a sureshot, bringing an unquestionable dancefloor bounce to proceedings while retaining just the right amount of atmospherics and Jungle inspired drum programming from the original.
Drumskull has been quietly making waves in the more progressive corners of the Jungle revival and related breakbeat led scenes since the release of his 'Interlocked' LP in 2020 and recent releases on Sherelle's Hooversound label. His remix of 2022's 'Distant Response' features masterful production, treading a line between footwork, jungle and more forward thinking sounds.
Pressed on 10" vinyl and housed in brown kraft paper sleeves, the series makes visual reference to the exclusive dubplate pressings which introduced so many classic cuts to the UK's dancefloors in the 90s.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Contemporary jungle's poster boy returns on this new project from Suburban Archecture. Now I don't need reminding of how effortlessly Tim brings those classic sounds up-to-date, but this is a prime example of the producer's prowess. Keeping that OG spirit alive with just enough freshness to mark its differences from the first wave of breakbeat pressure.TRACK LISTING
