Digital (Stephen Carr, born 1974) is an English producer and DJ from Ipswich best known for work in drum and bass and jungle. He has released music on Timeless, Metalheadz and Photek Productions, co-founded the Phantom Audio imprint with Spirit, and remains active as a producer and international DJ since the early 1990s.

Background: Carr grew up through reggae sound-system culture via his father. He was given the moniker Digital as a teenager and entered the UK electronic music scene in the early 1990s. His first solo releases include the Timeless single "Touch Me" and the influential track "Spacefunk", early markers of his move from roots reggae contexts into drum-and-bass production.

Musical style — production. Across his releases Digital blends dub-reggae approaches with drum-and-bass frameworks. He commonly uses dub-style processing (delay and reverb) to create space in the mix, foregrounds sub-bass weight under rolling break patterns, and arranges tracks to leave low-frequency room rather than dense midrange clutter. On record he pairs sampled and chopped breakbeats with stretched, dub-inflected pads and delayed FX to push a spacious low-end focus.

Musical style — DJing. As a DJ Digital programs sets that reflect his studio work: a mix of dubby rollers and harder jungle/drum-and-bass movers. His sets emphasise phrasing and bass control — tight transitions to preserve low-end energy — and he draws on dub and reggae phrasing when layering vocals, effects and version-style edits during mixes.

Subgenre characteristics and signature elements. Digital’s work sits between classic jungle timing and dub-influenced rollers. Signature elements visible across his output include prominent sub-bass lines, use of space and delay as compositional tools, and break manipulation that keeps the groove open rather than over-compressed. The title and sequencing of his 2002 album Dubzilla signal a deliberate nod to dub aesthetics applied inside drum-and-bass structures.

Career and contributions. Early in his career Digital released "Touch Me" on Timeless and the track "Spacefunk", both cited in his catalog as formative pieces. He has released material on Metalheadz and Photek Productions, labels central to 1990s and 2000s drum-and-bass circulation, and he co-founded Phantom Audio with Spirit to issue and curate material aligned with his aesthetic. In 2002 he issued the album Dubzilla. In 2008 he compiled Spacefunk: The Archives 1995–2008, a collection that documents over a decade of his output. Beyond records, he has worked internationally as a DJ and producer, carrying those releases into club and festival contexts.

Specific collaborations and roles. The record of working with Spirit is recorded in the co‑founding of Phantom Audio. His role across the scene has been dual: studio producer shaping tracks released on major DnB imprints, and DJ performing those tracks and edits in clubs internationally. His archive compilation and label activity show a consistent role in curating and preserving his own material alongside new output.

Specific influences. Carr’s earliest and clearest influence is reggae sound-system culture through his father, a fact that explains his long-standing use of dub processing and version-style arrangement in drum-and-bass contexts. His professional network includes Spirit through the Phantom Audio partnership, and his releases on labels such as Timeless, Metalheadz and Photek Productions place him in direct relation to the producers and scenes those labels represent.

Public record: Stephen Carr (Digital) remains a practicing producer and DJ from Ipswich active since the early 1990s, with key releases including "Touch Me" (Timeless), "Spacefunk", the 2002 album Dubzilla, and the compilation Spacefunk: The Archives 1995–2008; he co-founded Phantom Audio with Spirit and has released on Metalheadz and Photek Productions while performing internationally.

Shimon Alcoby began releasing music through RAM Records in 1992, in the label’s early years. The English drum and bass DJ and producer became one of the label’s founding artists, building a long-running connection with its releases. Shimon also formed Ram Trilogy with Andy C and Ant Miles, a production group whose members were part of a notably creative period for the music, as Shimon later recalled. He described friendly competition between producers as one influence on the work they made during that era.

With Andy C, Shimon made the 2001 single Body Rock for RAM Records. The track reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart and topped the UK Dance Singles Chart. Their other singles together include Quest. Shimon’s solo singles include The Predator, Hush Hush and The Shadow Knows. In 2007, he founded AudioPorn Records, adding label work to his DJ and production roles. The label released early and breakthrough music by Xilent, Dirtyphonics, Camo & Krooked, Hybrid Minds and High Maintenance.

Shimon’s releases on AudioPorn include the track Physio and the track Crystal Clear; Believe It appeared on the EP The Breaks. He also developed music with Benny L, exchanging ideas informally and trying them out in DJ sets before finishing the tunes. Their releases include the track Yeti and the 2018 remix Monsters (Remix), which also features Sub Zero. His other 2018 release was the single The Killers - EP.

Shimon’s later work includes the 2025 single HUWANTSIT VIPS, made with Benny L, Gino and Leaf. His DJ appearances include Let It Roll at Milovice Airport in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In 2026, he played at The Steel Yard in February and The Cause in June, followed by Unit 1 in August and Eutopia Whs in September.

From Tampere, Finnish producer and DJ Ilpo Kärkkäinen began making a name in the tracker music scene in the mid-1990s, before turning his focus to drum and bass as Resound around 2001. He established the Rebound label in 1997, then built a run of releases across Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware, Function Records and Exit Records. His work has also appeared on Samurai Music, adding another label to a career rooted in drum and bass. His 2001 single “Underground / Spiral Web” came out on Warm Communications.

Kärkkäinen met Loxy at Therapy Sessions in London in 2006, and the pair later made the album Burning Shadows. Resound subsequently joined Loxy and Ink to form I.L.R. Studios; the trio released music through their own label in 2020. Kärkkäinen also established the Resoundsound imprint and developed Rhytual as a label for music beyond his drum-and-bass work, while deciding to keep Resound as his artist identity rather than divide that work between aliases.

In 2022, Resound released “Stop Motion (Loomis Remix)” on I.L.R. Studios with Ink, Loomis and Loxy. His 2023 releases included “Dispatch Dubplate 20” on Dispatch Dubplate and “FR012” on Future Retro London, both made with Loxy, as well as “Shades of Red” on Architecture Recordings with Ink. In 2025, he released “Dunn's River Falls” with Loxy on Straight Up Breakbeat.
