Tim Reaper announces debut solo album World's End on Hyperdub, led by the single Roll Call
Tim Reaper's debut solo album, World's End, is released by Hyperdub on 19 February 2027. It has 11 tracks and is led by the single Roll Call, which mixes footwork rhythms with marching band style percussion. The record keeps jungle at its core while drawing on gqom, footwork, drill and techno, and follows his 2024 Hyperdub album with Kloke, In Full Effect.
London jungle producer Tim Reaper has announced his first solo album. World's End arrives on Hyperdub on 19 February 2027, with 11 tracks, and the lead single Roll Call is out now. The announcement landed on 5 November and has been covered by DJ Mag, The Quietus and others, with pre-orders open on Bandcamp.
Roll Call sets out the idea of the record quickly. It runs footwork rhythms through jungle breaks and adds marching band style percussion, and the album pushes further in the same direction. Press material and the Bandcamp notes describe a record that keeps jungle at its core while borrowing from gqom, footwork, drill and techno, recalibrating the new with the old rather than recreating the 1990s.
Retail listings show the full tracklist: Roll Call, Dustbowl, Fangs, Aim Assist, Subspace, Emergency Loop, Feeding Frenzy, Impending Doom, Hard Rain, Sudden Death and Widespread Panic. It is pressed as a double LP and released on CD, with catalogue numbers HDBLP076 and HDBCD076, alongside the digital release.
World's End follows In Full Effect, Tim Reaper's 2024 album with Kloke, also on Hyperdub. That record was described at the time as the label's first full jungle album in two decades, and it brought a scene built on dubplates, white labels and small imprints in front of a much wider audience. A solo album is the next step: one name, one sound, and a label with reach well beyond drum and bass.
The track titles hint at the mood. Words like Impending Doom, Sudden Death and Widespread Panic suggest a darker, more urgent record than the warm rollers that defined much of the jungle revival, and the move from a duo album to a solo statement gives Reaper room to set the tone himself. Hyperdub, the London label founded by Kode9, has a long history of releasing records that sit between scenes, which makes it a natural home for an album built on that kind of crossover.
For techno DJs and bookers, the overlap is worth noticing. Jungle and breakbeat have been creeping back into faster techno sets for a few years, and a record that openly folds in techno and gqom will travel across genre lines on club systems. For artists and managers, the campaign is a useful model too: a long lead time from announcement to release, a single that explains the album in one listen, and physical formats that give DJs and collectors a reason to pre-order.
