Review: It's a shame how little drum & bass makes its way across the Atlantic from the good ol' US of A, but Digital 6 are one of the labels which truly excel at flying the stars and stripes. This compilation seeks to push the junglist sounds of a country quite separate from the jungle itself, and with that in mind the curators behind this particular endeavour have done a fantastic job. It's a fresh take on the time-tested formulae of the 1990s, and it's summarised best by Cubik 1 on 'Anything', which sees rough and tumble breaks fall over their heels into the welcoming arms of soulful sampling and vital atmospheric tones. There are too many artists to list here considering the tracklist reaches a mighty 34, but just rest assured that this is a proper jungle album you'd be silly to miss.
Review: 6Blocc's Digital 6 gives 2017 the final KO punch with this impeccable collection of US jungle through the ages. Digging deep into the original melting pot sound with some beautiful attention to drum detail, every single cut hits with future-shocking authenticity. Captain Mordrum's "Junglist Renegade" is a breakcore dreamboat, Doctor Genesis rolls out the breaks with a slurring sense of mysticism on "Dreams In The Jungle", Indradevi flips the Oriental rock switch with head-turning results on the totally unique "Step Away", OG Natty Rulers gets 2017 mindwarp flip on "All About To End" while RAW gets busy with a variety of mates for a speaker shattering finale. 27 examples of thoroughbred American jungle... And this is just volume one!
