This is a remixes album of the 1995 classic Jungle record titled ‘Spacefunk’ courtesy of a remarkable artist and legend in the game, Digital. It originally came out as the thirteenth such release in a 12” vinyl format by Timeless Recordings.
This time around, Digital’s own label, Function Records has taken the reigns in releasing all the remixes that have been done throughout the years now re-mastered including, a new version by Bristol native, Om Unit A.K.A 2tall in the mix. Either than that, it has five remixes done in total by some notable players in the scene, all maintaining the song’s Junglish standards in their various styles and signatures of production. A nice blend of both old-skool and Future Jungle vibes nicely packed in a single package. Of course, the Futurebound Remix was not left out either since well it came with the initial release back then. Other re-works are contributed by Special Forces (by Photek); and the iconic DJ/producer Doc Scott, who also goes by the pseudonym Nasty Habits. Finally, we got the co-founder of Metalheadz himself, Goldie starring as Rufige Kru. Overall, sweet work has done on the re-mastering, for the original mix now tastes sweeter than honey.
This record is a must-have for Junglists all over without any compromise. This is Digital’s first solo effort that marked the launch of his musical career in Drum & Bass/Jungle therefore, owning this record in whichever format is indeed having a piece of the genre’s history and heritage.
