Reaper and Basstripper Collide on Raw, Show-Stopping Jump Up Drum & Bass Collab "MOMENT" for Bassrush Records

REAPER and Basstripper collide in high-impact fashion on their new single “MOMENT,” a transatlantic drum and bass weapon that merges the raw edge of jump-up with future-facing sound design. Out April 25 via Bassrush Records, this release sees two of the genre’s most exciting forces crossing continents and sonic boundaries to deliver a showstopping single built for the rave and the festival mainstage alike.

“MOMENT” kicks off with a commanding vocal hook and a triumphant horn motif, teasing grandeur before diving headfirst into a murky underworld of distorted bass growls and snarling synth interplay. The groove hits with precision—steppy and supercharged, yet twisted by REAPER’s razor-sharp engineering and Basstripper’s infectious festival energy. From the cheeky call-and-response sequences to the grungy low-end pressure, every element is built for maximum movement.

Touching on the fusion of their respective styles, REAPER sets the stage for their collab, saying “‘MOMENT’ is a collision of American and European styles, paying homage to classic DNB Reeses while expressing modern jump up sound. Ready set for dark rooms and big festival stages, I can’t wait to rinse this one on tour this year.”

Chiming in to voice his anticipation, Basstripper adds: “Had a great time working on this track in REAPER—really happy with how it came together, we vibed really well. So excited to be releasing it on a label as big as Bassrush, too!”

No stranger to Bassrush, REAPER has quickly become a flagbearer for the American drum and bass resurgence. His previous albums ‘CHALLENGER’ and ‘DISRUPTOR’ turned heads across the electronic scene, receiving critical praise from EDM.com, This Song Is Sick, and River Beats, to name but a few. Currently commanding stages across North America on his ‘Simulate’ 360 tour—with appearances lined up at Rampage Montreal, Bass Canyon, and Das Energi—REAPER continues to convert fresh crowds with his forward-thinking sound and enigmatic stage presence.

Joining forces from Belgium, Basstripper brings his own wave of momentum to the table. Known for explosive releases and high-profile remixes for Netsky and Friction, the DNBAllstars favorite has racked up nearly 30 million streams on his breakout single “In The City.” In the midst of his debut North American headline tour, Basstripper’s itinerary includes EDC Las Vegas, Red Rocks, and Beyond Wonderland—proving his sound is built to move bodies across borders.

“MOMENT” captures both artists at peak form: sharp, focused, and fully locked into their sound. It’s a fierce, unrelenting dose of modern jump-up that solidifies REAPER and Basstripper as standout forces in the genre, and cements Bassrush’s position at the forefront of drum and bass’s global push.
