Triumphant March

A little over a year ago Tim Reaper made his first appearance in Portland, Oregon, the city that LoDubs is based in, at the always forward thinking Westside venue Barn Radio. The bill was rounded out by yours truly, Jon AD, who set the standard for the night, which was a boggy, thick warehouse vibe, even though the venue was more of a tightly packed repurposed storefront with an overactive fog machine. This stop turned into a bit of a several day stopover, as he saw the town, met up with other Portland people, and after that was left with a bit of an aural vision of the whole experience, the DIY ethos of Portland, and the desire to document these impressions on the label of his bill mate for the aforementioned night, LoDubs. Shortly thereafter 'Triumphant March' arrived at the LoDubs mailbox, and reverb heavy, oozing slab of Jungle funkiness. Upon realizing this would be good material for a dubby remix, the next step was reaching out for people to do so, and Beatrice M was at that time really getting noticed with their take on Dub. This year has seen them really move up the ranks, needless to say.
