Digital D has published the tracklist for his 20th guest show on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an underground electronic music radio station for Japan, China, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and the rest of Asia, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.


Digital D, real name DaTron King, is a DJ and producer from Louisiana who was raised in Texas in the United States. His early musical background included years of violin and cello, while Motown records played at home helped shape his first connection with music.


During his teenage years, access to music was limited, and he did not own a radio. At 18, he began buying records and started performing as a DJ, first moving through Drum and Bass before shifting towards House Music after hearing Bob Sinclar’s album Paradise.


Digital D later played venues across Dallas before relocating to Taipei, Taiwan, in 2008. After settling into the city, he became active in the local nightlife scene and performed across many of Taiwan’s recognised clubs and festivals while keeping close to underground spaces.


By the time of this guest show, he had held a five-year residency in Taipei and was spending more time at home during the pandemic period. This episode stayed with his Deep House 2020 and Beyond direction, focusing on House music released from 2020 onwards.


The 20th guest show leans heavily into Robsoul, the long-running House label run by Phil Weeks. That label focus gives the episode a strong connection to classic and contemporary Deep House, with groove-led selections at the centre of the programme.


Digital D also includes music from Lebedev (RU), a Ukrainian-born producer based in Russia whose work fits closely with the show’s Deep House direction. His selections place that material alongside the wider Robsoul influence, keeping the mix rooted in current House music.


He was one of the original DJs involved with Scientific Sound Asia and remained a regular contributor when not working in the studio. His music and mixes can be followed through SoundCloud, with production activity from this period also connected to Wolfrage Recordings.


Digital D guest show 20 opens with Joe T Vannelli and Eartha Kitt’s Where Is My Man in Angelo Ferreri’s Deep Vocal Mix, placing the first track inside Deep House through its Beatport and Discogs genre listings. Crew Deep’s A Whole New Level then keeps the opening section close to deep and soulful club rhythm through I Records.


ColorJaxx follows with One Night In The City on Large Music, continuing the label-led Deep House thread from previous Digital D selections. Lebedev’s Groove & Funk in the Bonetti remix then moves into House Music with a funkier club shape.


Lebedev’s Robsoul sequence begins with Dancing Under The Moon, a release from the French house label’s 2021 catalogue. Local Options then returns the set to Deep House with Ultra Nights on No Fuss Records before Lebedev’s Magic Night and Deep Magic keep the Robsoul material in focus.


Phaze Dee’s Heated Point in the DuBeats remix continues the Deep House direction through Mole Music. Crazibiza’s Bandie Bandie in the Laurent Simeca Miami Mix then shifts into House with a brighter and more direct club feel.


Around7’s Always With My Dufflebag introduces Minimal / Deep Tech through a reduced, groove-led structure. Kid Enigma and Saison’s The Break in the Local Options remix then returns the programme to Deep House through the No Fuss Records catalogue.


Ejeca’s Free From in the Cinthie remix gives the middle section another confirmed Deep House entry from Shall Not Fade. Michel De Hey’s Echter moves into Minimal / Deep Tech before Memo Rex and Chris Mindel add a Tech House entry with Popular People.


Jovonn and Franck Roger’s Remember appears in the Rocco Rodamaal remix, returning the show to Deep House with a strong link to New York, French and soulful house traditions. S.A.M. and Chris Stussy then bring Spaceship into a Minimal / Deep Tech position through the Up The Stuss label context.


Demarkus Lewis’ Flower Child restores the Deep House thread through I Records, followed by Deep House’s Fashion Show on Fundamental Music. Charly Angelz then keeps the late section warm and deep with Deep Inside on Kolour Recordings.


Nas Elmes’ A House Thing moves the set back into House through Glasgow Underground, adding a more direct club track near the end. Dave Shorland and Bruverly Dubs then return to Deep House with Spanish Joint, followed by Mark Farina and Homero Espinosa’s Best Of Both Worlds on Moulton Music.


Nala closes guest show 20 with Sun Is Hot on DIRTYBIRD, a confirmed Deep House release with additional tech, acid and experimental electronic context from Bandcamp. Digital D’s episode connects Deep House, House, Minimal / Deep Tech and Tech House through warm label-led selections, Robsoul grooves and late-set underground house material.
