The Last Time

The Last Time, released on July 12, 2026 as a Beatport exclusive through 77DEUCE RECORDS (catalog number 77DR083), is the most recent confirmed release in the entire DJ Natural Nate® vs Jiggabot catalog: the current endpoint of a discography that stretches back to the late 1990s. Its title carries the weight of that position: "The Last Time" is a phrase that resonates differently when you know it is the most recent entry in a catalog that has been building for nearly three decades. It is not necessarily a farewell: the catalog has demonstrated too much creative momentum for that reading, but it is a statement about endings, about the significance of final moments, about the way that time transforms the meaning of experience.

The Beatport exclusive release model for The Last Time reflects a strategic choice about where and how the music reaches its audience. Beatport exclusives, releases available only on Beatport for a defined period before wider distribution, are a tool that labels use to reward the platform's core DJ audience, the professionals who rely on Beatport for their music purchasing and who represent the most engaged segment of the electronic music market. By releasing The Last Time as a Beatport exclusive, 77DEUCE RECORDS signaled that this music was made for DJs first, that its primary audience was the professional DJ community that would play it in clubs, on radio, and in mixes before it reached the broader streaming audience.

The catalog number 77DR083 places The Last Time late in the 77DEUCE RECORDS sequence, eighty-three releases into the label's catalog, a number that reflects the extraordinary productivity of the label's output since its establishment. The progression from 77DR005 (The Test of Time Anthology, 2021) to 77DR083 (The Last Time, 2026) represents five years of sustained creative output, a catalog built track by track, release by release, through the consistent work of DJ Natural Nate® and Jiggabot. The Last Time is not the end of that story, it is the most recent chapter, the current edge of a body of work that continues to grow.
