Digital Underground

A 1 track hardcore ep (3m 3s) — released December 1st 2023 on Hotflush Recordings

Hotflush - the label founded by Scuba in 2003 - continues its celebratory 20th anniversary year with a mixtape of takes on the acid house - early hardcore era.

'Digital Underground' is the culmination of Scuba's two part vinyl-only series entitled 'Hardcore Heaven'. Taking influence from acts like Top Buzz, SL2, and Shades of Rhythm, the familiar collision of hard-edged beats, euphoric breakdowns, and helium vocals got a 2023 update on the first installment which dropped in April to coincide with Record Store Day UK. The sequel lands on vinyl in September featuring alternative versions of four tracks from 'Digital Underground'.

The 12-track mixtape expands the ideas found on 'Hardcore Heaven' into altered versions and additional tracks, connecting the dots between acid house, early hardcore, breaks, and techno. Thow in a few nods to early 2-step, as well as some moody vocal rubs and you have 12 tracks of uncompromising action designed specifically for the dancefloor.
