American drum and bass producer REAPER has had a huge 2024. He started the year with a Zeds Dead collab “Back Bus,” and then in March, a new seven-track album, CHALLENGER, on Bassrush. After a Challenger World Tour and a full slate of festival appearances over the spring and summer, REAPER restarted his Challenger Tour again this fall. REAPER even appeared overseas at the Amsterdam Dance Event to support the 13-track CHALLENGER (Deluxe) album. His most recent release, a remix of NGHTMRE’s “Torture,” dropped on November 7, via Gud Vibrations.
REAPER put all these new DnB tunes to good use on his Challenger Tour. Moon Lvnding was on hand for his 360-set in Brooklyn two weeks ago, as well as his sellout in Tempe last Friday and Denver on Saturday. REAPER was in fine form in NYC, whipping the crowd into a dancing frenzy as fans surrounded his stage for a long night of drum and bass. The 360 setup commanded attention at the center of the dance floor and helped keep the energy up all night long. Along for support at the Brooklyn stop was Rebel Scum, who some may remember as a collaborator on THE PULSE #013, REAPER’s hour-long DnB guest mix series.
REAPER is nearing the end of his Challenger tour, but there are still a few dates left, including four stops this week in Washington DC, Las Vegas, Costa Mesa, and Sacramento, before his tour finale in Salt Lake City on December 7. Limited tickets remain, so hit his website to see if you can make it to one of these last shows. If you like drum and bass, this show is a must-see event!
As the drum and bass scene in the US continues to grow, REAPER is sure to capitalize on the momentum. After an action-packed 2024, filled with albums, remixes, festivals, and a fall tour, DnB fans must be licking their lips in anticipation of an even bigger 2025.
