The last chapter of Top Drawer Digital


One of the greatest labels specified mainly in the Future Jungle and 140 bpm sound, Top Drawer Digital, have just released their 100th release, which is obviously a celebratory to the label's history. In addition, it comes among the announcement that this release marks also the final episode of this groundbreaking label that paved the way since 2009.
Sad but true as can be translated by the words of TDDR management: "As we draw the curtain on Top Drawer Digital, we do so with hearts full of happiness, knowing that we've had the privilege of hosting incredible artists on our label. Their talent and dedication have made this journey unforgettable."

'Abstractions 3: Jungle Techno Breaks' is larger than expected and it is comprised of 36 tracks obeying the oldskool ethos under contemporary techniques. You can find anything that tastes fresh and nuskool with the likes of Pressa, Vinyl Junkie, Sanxion. Strange Rollers, Gav Ley, The Rumblist, Beat-Breaker, Schoco, SwankOut, but to name a few luminaries of the game.
The release comes out on TDDR Bandcamp page in digital format or on a limited USB Stick that carries 6GB of:
  • 'TDDR100 - Abstractions 3 : Jungle - Techno - Breaks' in HQ 24Bit WAV format , 320 MP3 , A Mix of the album by DJ Digitally Mashed.
  • Secret Bonus Tracks not available anywhere else.
  • 6 of previous TDDR Albums in 320 MP3 format including the rest of the 'Abstractions Series' , Volumes 1 & 2.
  • The Complete 'Future Jungle Expeditions' Series , Volumes 1 , 2 & 3 and the 20-track '10 Year Album TDDX'.

" While Top Drawer Digital as you know it may be bidding farewell, our company remains deeply committed to the scene we adore. In what capacity we'll continue our involvement, only time will reveal. For now, we believe that reaching the milestone of 100 releases is the perfect time to conclude this chapter. Thank you for being a part of our incredible journey. "Abstractions 3" is our parting gift, a testament to the enduring spirit of Old Skool inspired electronic music, and a promise that the rave will live on." -
Lucas
