Function Records Featured Artist Mix: RESPONSE

We’re delighted to present the 16th Bassic mix, this time with drum and bass legend Digital at the controls.

The last couple of years have seen the veteran producer return in an astounding manner, with a plethora of releases to his name in that time. Digital collaborated with Spirit for ‘The Wolf EP’ on Metalheadz, debuted on Dispatch with ‘Red Alert’ and still found time to make appearances on Horizons, Ingredients, V Recordings, Commercial Suicide and many more.

With Phantom Audio’s first release since 2013 out last week, attention is now turning to another of Digital’s imprints in Function (which this year has released the highly sought-after Dub Phizix remix of ‘Deadline’ and the hard-hitting collab with Drumsound & Bassline Smith ‘Bail Out’) where there’s a huge project in the pipeline. The various artists and collaboration only album is penned for a spring release and will feature the likes of Digital, Spirit, Total Science, Klute, Om Unit, Amit, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Nomine, Need For Mirrors, Response and more.
