haven’t been on the decks in a while, been trying to settle in back at home and do some spring cleaning. hard to make time to create sometimes when the never ending to-do list won’t give my mind a break. but i got on the decks late last night and really enjoyed what came out of it. 

i’ve been recording a lot of mixtapes, just for myself to listen back to. they aren’t perfect, im still training my ear with beat matching and jungle isn’t the simplest to line up. but it’s really nice to hear myself work on it and see my progression. i learn a lot about myself and my music by listening back to these freestyle sessions. i am constantly trying to experiment and to find new ways of mixing and different blends and styles. 

sometimes i love what comes out of it and sometimes ill only get a couple good blends out of a session. i want to be vulnerable and get over this gruelling mental state of perfectionism. which is why im going to start sharing these personal mixtapes. those who care to listen will, and i hope that you can hear me and my soul through these tapes.

Seven and a half exhilarating hours from one of modern club's sharpest.

Tim Reaper's mammoth entry for RA.1000 is all about range. You thought the Future Retro London boss was just a jungle and hardcore head? Think again.

The mix's infinite-scroll tracklist (the longest we've ever published in full!) includes a who's who of top-rate producers, from A Guy Called Gerald and Cari Lekebusch to Batu, Mia Koden and the one and only Shackleton.

Opening with weighty grime and ending on head-spinning drum & bass, the mix journeys through US club, wobbly dubstep, classic techno and, of course, many shades of jungle. Rather than go the easy route, the Londoner approached the assignment with the curiosity, integrity and vulnerability of fellow shapeshifters like dBridge, Calibre and ASC.

"The idea was to represent other styles of electronic music that I've been a bit self-conscious about openly expressing my interest in," he told RA.

RA.1000 isn't just another side of Tim Reaper's artistry: thankfully for us, it feels like only the beginning.
