Tim Reaper & Jordana
Rhythm Section, a collaboration between Onset, Breakbeat Preservation Society, TZK, and Heavy Sounds proudly presents Tim Reaper
Tim Reaper (Future Retro – London): If you’ve been paying any sort of attention to jungle and drum & bass during the past few years, you’ve almost surely come across the name Tim Reaper. The London-based artist is frequently touted as one of the leading figures of “new-school jungle,” despite the fact that he’s been involved in the genre since the late 2000s. A dedicated student of the genre, he’s spent the past 15-plus years compiling an encyclopedia-like knowledge of jungle, and much of his craft—including his approach to DJing, production and his staggeringly prolific label, Future Retro London—has been heavily informed by those who came before him, particularly those who got started during the music’s golden era in the early to mid ’90s. That said, Reaper also has an irreverent streak. Alongside his friend and frequent collaborator Dwarde, he runs Globex Corp, a Simpsons-themed imprint devoted to ravey hybrids that bridge the gap between jungle and hardcore. Elsewhere in his catalog are forays into atmospheric, ragga and other variants of jungle; although he does seem himself as something of a jungle purist, he refuses to box himself in by committing to any one style or subgenre.
Jordana (Imagine Audio, Emergence DnB): Jordana LeSesne, formerly known as 1.8.7, is an American musician and producer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As both a DJ and Producer she has toured the world and played alongside many of the top DJs in the world of Dance and more specifically Jungle/Drum’n’Bass music. She has also worked with artists such as Mike Joyce (formerly of The Smiths), Deborah Harry and Blondie, Lady Sovereign, MC Kinky from London/ffrr, Yellownote, Soulslinger & TC Izlam from Liquid Sky Records. She first came to popular attention in the mid 90s as one of the first respected producers of American Drum N’ Bass. In 2001-2003 Jordana was known as Lady J and was a regular DJ on FLEX FM in London, UK. Talent runs in the family as she was related to the late Tupac Shakur. Vibe magazine called her “one of the most respected Drum ‘n’ Bass producers in the US. In 2015, she was named as one of “20 women who shaped the history of dance music” by Mixmag.
