For the next release on On My Own Terms/Time, I’ve managed to pry loose a tune from the archives that took it’s sweet time to be released. As always I hope you like it and play it at high volume!

A1. Tim Reaper & Yorobi “Nostalgia Dealers”

Back in 2020, on January 25th after the grand opening of Planet Wax (then Disc World) I went back to the studio with Tim Reaper and we made this tune (well he mostly did).
The next morning we finished it off, added the sample “feeling” at 04:24 from Pascals’ Remix 2 Underground Feeling tune and little did I know it would be the last time we would see each other for five years as Covid hit and he blew up. Next thing I knew we’re in lockdown and the tune sat gathering dust.
Nostalgia Dealers is a tune that’s soulful and uplifting with obvious hints to ’94 hay day jungle. Through regular conversation about the jungle revival at the time, and how far that could go (little did we know what would lie in the future). I basically sat there thinking how the retro 94 sounds had made for a generation of people making nostalgic sounds, hence producers of the jungle revival being Nostalgia Dealers.

B.Yorobi - Synodical Return

This track plays again into this idea of a rare alignment, at a 145 bpm. The vocal samples evoke a sense of melancholy. Jungle has always been quite a forward future driven sound. From inception it sounded out of this world and futuristic and as it went on sound design side became more and more important. It caused endless sub genres, sonic warfare and and expansion. With the current resurgence of jungle it’s almost like a rare planetary realignment were everything is just right, and we witness a cycle which repeats itself over longer intervals. A window into both past, present and the future, a flattening of time. And if that’s too much jibber-jabber, enjoy the dubbed out breaks, lush pads created with the Juno 60 VSTI and the vocals of Kate B. ;)
