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. "

Tim Reaper - BTTO Radio September 8th 2024

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.)

Battle of the Badgers

Our second release features an original production from label founder, Garrett Jr. With heavyweight Amen breaks, rave-era pads, and techno-inspired stabs, So High fuses speaker shaking sub-bass with soulful vocal cuts recorded in collaboration with Jo Hadler from Wilder Vocals.

With the incredible DJ Sofa on remix duties, the track flips into a deep, thumping Jungle roller - stripped back and driven hard by pounding drums and crisp 808s.

This cross-border link-up connects Garrett’s Bristol roots with Sofa’s new school Jungle style out of Helsinki, Finland.
