Its 2 years ago today we lost our man Duncan Busto aka Spirit. Feels like there's a big black empty hole where he used to be... (And there's a mahussive hole in my DJ sets too!!!) we all miss him! So back in Feb this year we had a cracking night for him @ Village Underground on Sunday 9th Feb 2020 featuring a quality line-up. Massive thanks to each & every DJ & MC who performed on the night, even our crew that couldn’t make it to the show due to the adverse weather & severe storms cancelling flights, trains & causing havoc on the roads…! 

But mostly we want to thank you all for the love & support when it comes to Duncan. You guys are just the best for showing up in full and making it such a great vibe, we had all crews in the building from across the UK & Europe! Hit the links below and listen back to the night & enjoy. RIPSpirt

Spirit:Remebered Sun 9th Feb 2020 @ Village Undergound, London.

Digital teams up with Canadian legend, Gremlinz. American duo, Sight Unseen and German new boy, Keygenlog for the breaks and bass heavy ‘Mental State’ EP. Link in bio....

Out Of Control features fierce breaks powered by a stabby Phantom Force style riff with an attitude. This is 1994 deep jungle in a 21st century full metal jacket.
Bitter Switch is a deeper, colder version of Digital's, 'Bitter Wind' featured on Rupture Recordings. The haunting pads hover above the high pitched clanging Amen in an exciting counterpoint to thedubbed out bass.
Too Late Again is full on unforgiving dirty Jungle written with one of the scene's favourite breaks: Blowfly - 'Sesame Street' that features on Deep Blue's, 'The Helicopter Tune'
Low Battery. The first collaboration between Digital and the relentless Gremlinz was always going to be an Amen smasher. Nuff said!

FUNC047 - Mental State EP - Digital, Gremlinz, Sight Unseen, Keygenlog

The crucial elements in many Jungle tracks are in this E.P.
Atmospherics, breakbeats and basslines that sing to you.

Digital & Response start the E.P. with a 160 bpm, breakbeat, dubbed out 4 to the floor track called, ‘Broken Dub’.

‘Tell Me’ has a little bit of Amen choppage about it and rumbling bass topped with sweet and sensual vocals.

‘Hung Up’ is a drifty, spaced-out smooth number with bass that takes you to a place you’ve never heard before.

Finally, ‘Plastic Dreams’ reminds you of the kind of track you’d play at Fabio’s night, speed to get everyone up dancing.

BROKEN DUB E.P.

DIGITAL & RESPONSE_BROKEN DUB E.P.

Kiljoy grabbed Digital’s dubbed out classic, ‘Waterhouse Dub’, smashed it to pieces and pounded it back together to produce this monstrous and titanic beast. This track has received enthusiastic support from Goldie, Storm, Dj Marky, Ray Keith and more

Where the original Strictly DNB was hectic and dynamic, Sight Unseen’s version has added soul and a new Roots Rub-a-Dub swing.

Abducted - Digital’s Is This A Dream Remix harks back to his strange and experimental phase of the mid ‘90s, a time when he was restricted to a paltry 14 seconds of sample time to make a track. He had a great time stretching his skills to be able to make the utmost use out of any little samples he could fit in the sampler, whatever they were. The revival of this ethos spawned Abducted.

DIGITAL...

My Phantom Audio partner Spirit and I team up with the multi talented, well travelled, all round straight up nice guy, Om Unit to bash out a deep and deadly track called 'Skull'. 

Spirit and I don't do too bad with the dubbed out 'Stolen Desire' which I've featured in heaps of online mixes and club sets over the last 6 months. 

'Jungle Jaw' is full of fun and energy to lift your day, or night if you're a DJ who loves their Jungle. I team up with Nomine aka Outrage aka Zero Bpm for 'Jungle Jaw' which is a pleasure as he's a long time friend with substance.

If there's anyone out there who can leisurely say he runs Function as much as I do its Kiat. He's always there for advice, he does the artwork off his own back and he releases on the label too. He still makes time for this while running the audio visual collective syndicate and design studio 'System Sovereign' , both together with his wife Cherry Chan.

I love our track 'War' for its brutal rawness. It's heavy!

Spacefunk, the remastered remixes plus a brand new mix from Om Unit.
. 
Digital

"Make no mistake I love the fact that my first solo track Spacefunk,  has been remixed by well respected and inspirational artists consisting of 3 artists I seriously looked up to for their production when I made the track which makes this extra special to me.

Spacefunk was well received by Dj's and it claimed anthem status in clubs like Speed, Swerve and Goldie's Metalheadz @ Bluenote.

The remixers are. Future Bound, Goldie's, Rufige Kru, Doc Scott's, Nasty Habits and Photek's, Special Forces. So to keep things moving along the same lines, Om Unit has stepped up with a future jungle mix of his own.
