yeah, pretty much all his early stuff, whatever the alias (digital, natural mystic, d4,...), was in "classic jungle style"
yeah i knew about the d4 stuff but not the natural mystic stuff. i've got one record under the s.o.s. alias (waiting remix) that is a bit weak. cheers for the heads up on natural mystic, i like what i've heard so far.
i thought i had a fair bit of digital's discography but there are evidently still considerable holes. i thought he only had like maybe less than eight straight jungle records before he started moving away from that sound and a lot of those are pretty unremarkable. out of the early digital i've got i only ever really caned touch me, which i really like. tunes like mystery and two faced are a bit average. after the natural mystic revelation, i'd be more than happy to be proved wrong again.
i used to listen to digital a fair bit alongside breakage, equinox and other drumfunky stuff in the early/mid 00's and have actually got fairly fond memories of a fair bit of dnb from that era. there were a few people who were keeping the spirit of jungle alive during a pretty rough period. i really rated almost everything breakage did up until the "this too shall pass" lp, i remember it sucking really really hard, a proper disappointment.
apart from the obviously huge acid rain remixes breakage did, i really liked prophecy, ask me and dubby rollers like 4 me. i remember liking the disco 45 vip with naphta when it came out, rolling along with those weird rave-y pitch-bent pads.
equinox deserves some kind of special award for services to jungle.
did this with bizzy b at the age of 16! the vip's due on the new bizzy b comp and it's even better
