PREVIEW: Fracture & Tim Reaper – APHAFR001

Three years in the making, APHAFR001 is the longest project Future Retro London has ever worked on — a back-and-forth between two of jungle’s most vital voices, Fracture & Tim Reaper.

What started with Fracture’s “Booyaka Style” spiralled into something bigger: a joint statement that bottles the energy of London’s hardcore continuum in 2025. “There’s a lot of backstory behind this project,” admits Tim, “so excuse my ramblings” — but the music speaks for itself. From the rolling pressure of “Dancing Toms” to the ragga-fired intensity of “Lickshot (ft. Blackeye),” every track bangs with history and future locked in the same groove. Three years of patience, perfected.

From the rolling pressure of “Dancing Toms” to the ragga-fired intensity of “Lickshot (ft. Blackeye),” every track bangs with history and future locked in the same groove. It’s also a project that underlines the strength of collaboration in jungle’s new wave. Both producers have been pushing the sound worldwide in their own lanes, but here their styles fuse seamlessly — a nod to the past and a roadmap for what’s next.This one’s going to be worth every second of the wait.
