Review: Two stone cold dons of the game, Digital & Spirit continue to build on their new slew of collaborations with this epic two part EP. "Deaddial" is a mutant blend of Digital's "Deadline" and Spirit's "Dial-up/Redial" that fans have been asking about for what feels like dubplate eternity while "Revolution" is the Ipswich pair at their snakiest; rattled percussion, subtle soul and a lurking sense of restrained menace. Vive la revolution!

Review: Ding ding, round two. Following the long-awaited "Deaddial" and "Revolution", Digital & Spirit's latest EP continues to shatter a second slab of wax. "Phantom 2018" brings their 1999 game-changing bleep hypno-hurter "Phantom Force" up to speed with a full rebuild on all the elements that punch with a perfect balance of modern weight but the classic Digital & Spirit wall of sound feel. "Small World" is a brand new construction laced with their signature fabrics. Pummelling breaks, treacle subs and a strident dubby synth hook that's tailored for 3am+ moments. No one does it like these guys.

Review: Following their reunion on Metalheadz earlier this year, the legendary partnership of Digital & Spirit return to their spiritual home Phantom Audio with four mammoth jungle gems... Ageless, uncompromised and galvanised with a certain sense of dark danger, each cut hits hard. "Vision" is the stepper for set with its Dispatch-style bass plucks, "Heaven" is a skippy, subby early 90s homage, "Stage Fright" is all drama and drums (think late 90s Doc Scott) while "Square One" is an amen frenzy laced with ghostly cries and bowel-battering subs. It's like they never stopped producing together.

Review: Their first original material together in many, many years, "Original Rockers" shows Digital & Spirit have maintained their fingers on the pulse with futurist attention to detail. The title track rides roughshod on a mean ghetto, almost jukey groove, all chopped up and sleazy. "Redo", meanwhile, looks back to look forward - a super-charged jungle breakbeat tear-up that growls with attitude and swaggers with cymbal-splashing fervour, it reminds us why the pair were so respected in the first place.

Review: Rewind: it's destination 1999 as Digital and Spirit dust off one of their biggest cuts and let Fracture go to town on it. One of the most exciting prospects in the half-step scene, his delivery is up there with Dub Phizix in the unique stakes. This trippy, spliced, slo-mo jungle mix being no exception. Digital and Spirit themselves get in on the action with their own remix of "Backlash"; a rich tapestry of industrial riddims and deep space hooks, it's like the Blue Note all over again.
