Tim Reaper Announces Debut Album, World’s End

UK jungle producer Tim Reaper is set to release his debut solo album, World’s End, on February 19 via Hyperdub. The album, which blends Reaper's jungle roots with influences from gqom, footwork, drill, and techno, premieres with the single "Roll Call." Reaper's motivation for exploring new genres stemmed from his 2024 EP, Scorched Earth, which was inspired by a discussion with a friend about defining "jungle" music.

According to Reaper, "jungle is mainly about the breakbeats and the tempo, but it could have anything else going on within that template." This realization propelled him to experiment with newer, less represented sounds. The 11-track album features tracks such as "Dustbowl," "Fangs," "Aim Assist," "Subspace," "Emergency Loop," "Feeding Frenzy," "Impending Doom," "Hard Rain," "Sudden Death," and "Widespread Panic."
