Digital's Dirty Dubs Vol 1 - Function 54

Digital searches through old Dat tapes and hard drives for unreleased music and combines them with new tracks for Digital's Dirty Dubs. Volume 1 features Spirit, DJ Ratty & Nick EP.



1. "Motherland Dub"

Motherland Dub is a heavier dubbed-out mix of Digital's 'Motherland'. Haunting, eerie vocals glide over pitched-down chunky breaks and serious deep subs that will pummel your bass bins.

2. "Dread Life"

"Dread Life" combines a moment from an '80s reggae dancehall session with jumping breakcore grooves and wobbling bass, creating a ragga piece of Jungle.


3. "An Evil Source"

'Digital, Spirit, DJ Ratty & Nick EP created An Evil Source in the late hours of a party at Digital's house. Rave stabs, riffs, Mentasm, Amen, and Funky Mule breaks show they went for that dark n dirty 93/94 Rave / Jungle sound championed by Dj Ratty. Stay til the end because this one builds perfectly.

4. "Stay"  

Syncopated rhythms and a percussive synth lead merge with a frantic vocal and dynamically juicy breakbeats. Slightly unusual, but it's unique!

WOUNDED EP

Total Control_Digital_Tim Clay Remix

Sweet Dubplate

It’s been a long time coming. After Raygun, Conscious Mind, Void VIP, Stolen Desire and a host of other guest appearances over the years, it was about time Spirit delivered his first full solo release and it has certainly been worth the wait! 

‘International’ has already been causing some severe destruction in the hands of those DJ’s fortunate enough to have early access. An unrelenting frenzy of thunderous bass, seesaw amen fills, cavernous reverberating drums and hypnotic pads spiralling towards it’s intense surging apex.  Creeping synths, stripped-down militant rhythms and stealth subs provide the perfect vision for the title track, ’Stalker’ before ’Look Out’ completes the journey with a brooding bass overload, surrounded in huge atmospherics and mystical echoing vocals.
