From wobbly, dubstep face-melters to tearout, jungle skankers, Digital 6 has been laying down the good vibrations since 2008. Founded by Los Angeles-based 6Blocc, Digital 6 has released tracks and remixes by Marcus Visionary, Fishstix, Maze, Peligro, Bassline Bangers, Portisdub, Dub Marley and a ton of releases from 6Blocc himself.
Review: Last spotted messing with the Wu, 6Blocc takes us even further back in time for his own dub side of the moon. A true Floydian odyssey rebooted for the modern bass lover, subtly is the name of 6Blocc's game: the paranoid, way-ahead-of-its-time "Run" gets a lick of 303 and swinging breakbeat, "Speak" retains all its dreamy majesty while the iconic moans and cries of "Sky" are stretched out from midnight fumble to 24-hour marathon. Elsewhere the till-chiming riff of "Money" is smothered in blankets of sub while "Colour" is galvanised with a classic Dig Your Own Hole era big beat. To some this may err on heresy, but to others this is a trip like no other. See you on the other side.
Review: There has been nothing released by dubstep stalwart Raoul Gonzalez under his 6Blocc alias so far this year, but now the Lo Dubs regular returns to the fray with this fresh bag of tricks for Digital 6. "Babylon Blood Sucka" is a slow-stepping jam with a great vocal sample, while "Rudeboy (Dub)" brings even more roots flavours into the mix alongside plenty of jungle break heat. "Arrriginal" is equally fuelled by reggae skanks and dub FX with some of the old-skool grit, before "Afrika (dub)" ramps up the intensity with some monstrous bass and tribal percussion. "Bad Attitude (Dub)" finishes the EP off with a heavy swanging lurcher that counts amongst the heaviest on the release.
