While his mask may conceal his face, REAPER’s influence as a producer has given him another identity: one of the torchbearers of the American drum & bass movement.
He’s further solidified his reputation after releasing his sophomore album, CHALLENGER, on Bassrush, comprising seven masterful tracks. From his signature soaring synths to his frenetic percussion, it’s the enigmatic producer’s most influential work to date.
The album’s intro track “BALANCE” expertly captures REAPER’s artistry. Its vocals pair effortlessly with a rumbling beat, adding two distinct hypnotic layers that beautifully break the ice.
Elsewhere, “COLD CASE” sees the producer reuniting with Bella Renee after their breakout hit “IMY” in 2022. Their new collaboration embraces the same uplifting energy as Renee’s enchanting vocals once again blend with REAPER’s powerful production.
All said and done, CHALLENGER is a defining work for REAPER, who is reinforcing himself as a leader of America’s drum & bass renaissance as he continues to tour and write inventive music. You can listen to the new album below and find it on streaming platforms here.
