New Town Dub #001

Suburban Architecture are pleased to announce the launch of a new release series, 'New Town Dubs', following in the footsteps of the now Sold Out 'Architecture Dubs' series. Whereas 'Architecture Dubs' enlisted remixers from Drum & Bass's mid 90s golden era (among them the likes of Peshay, Blame, 4Hero and Ray Keith), 'New Town Dubs' turns its attention to the new breed of producers inspired by the sounds of Drum & Bass and Jungle's foundations.

Who better to kick off the series than Tim Reaper: The London based DJ and producer has become a figurehead of the UK's Jungle revival and, via his Future Retro label and events, has been spreading the Gospel of Jungle's new wave to a future generation of listeners. With releases on labels including Deep Jungle, Myor and Hooversound among others, we're thrilled for Tim Reaper to have joined us on this release. His remix of 2021's 'Unwound' is a sureshot, bringing an unquestionable dancefloor bounce to proceedings while retaining just the right amount of atmospherics and Jungle inspired drum programming from the original.

On the flip, we're pleased to welcome long time friend of the label Drumskull to the mix. Drumskull has been quietly making waves in the more progressive corners of the Jungle revival and related breakbeat led scenes since the release of his 'Interlocked' LP in 2020. With recent releases on Sherelle's Hooversound label and an active DJ schedule, we're hyped to catch Drumskull on the rise. His remix of 2022's 'Distant Response' features masterful production, treading a line between Footwork, Jungle and more forward thinking sounds.

Pressed on 10" vinyl and housed in brown Kraft paper sleeves, the series makes visual reference to the exclusive dubplate pressings which introduced so many classic cuts to the UK's dancefloors in the 90s.
