Sharp FM 006 coming in hot! We're honored to present a custom mix by Tim Reaper. As a venerable pioneer of London’s contemporary jungle revival, Reaper’s visibility in global electronic music culture feels perfunctory—this is just what happens when you put the music first, and you do it well.

Reaper anticipates the spring equinox and gives spark to Aries’ fire with an all-vinyl mix that displays jungle’s virtuosic syncopations and body high-inducing bass frequencies; he touches upon both classic and contemporary legends with customary deftness, zeroing in on the combustive rowdiness of the scene’s ragga subgenre. We’re primed for warmer weather.

Given his prolific output, it’s obvious that Reaper works quickly, but he surprised us by sending over a completed mix before we even knew he was onboard for the project:

"This mix was recorded on vinyl, me playing some of my favourite ragga style jungle tunes from ‘93-’96, as well as some newer style ragga jungle bits, including a new remix I've done for M-Beat. "

006: Tim Reaper

We are very proud to welcome the Polish wunderkind Radicall to the Parallax label. His releases on Cantinca Cuts caught our attention and so we reached out and were surprised by the quality of the tracks he sent us. He then continued to write more music for us in the style we represented, and boy did he deliver in no time! We can´t wait to bring you more of him in the future, but for now, here´s a  2x12" with 2 digital bonus cuts as there just was too much good stuff we wanted to show you! The first vinyl is on a darker, outer-worldly tip, the second one represents his more happy/ piano-led tunes. Turn it up!

J Majik - The Spell (Unreleased Version) [Unreleased Clip]

Rikipicchi delivers a hard-hitting promomix for his upcoming debut release on Guerilla Bass Records. Blessing the camp not only with a solid 4-track EP, fully loaded with some heavy jungle tek sounds, but also with a wicked mix to promote it!

Taking cues from the eerie 70s horror soundtracks and the gritty noise of Atrax Morgue, Rikipicchi crafts haunting atmospheres paired with relentless breakbeats. Each track is a perfect mix of nostalgic darkness and modern energy, creating a vibe that feels both timeless and fresh.

This promomix gives you a glimpse of the sounds that inspired him while making the EP. We've also asked him a couple questions to get a bit more insight in who Rikipicchi is, check it out on our facebook page. 

(The official release date is October 24, 2024, but you can pre-order now and immediately download the single The Trickster.)
