Digital D’s guest show on Scientific Sound Asia, published on 25 December 2020, focused on Deep House releases from that year. Scientific Sound Asia is an English-language underground electronic music radio station for Japan, China, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and the rest of Asia, as well as a DJ agency, promoter and music news platform.
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 took a Deep House 2020 and Beyond direction, focusing only on tracks released during 2020 rather than combining current music with older House selections.
The mix also carried a strong Large Music presence, with nine tracks from the label appearing in the programme. That focus gave the show a clear Deep House identity, built around fresh material from a year when radio shows and online sets became especially important for DJs and listeners.
During the same period, Digital D was also connected with One House Global Unity, an online event that included names such as Jesse Saunders, Hipp-E and Franck Roger. His continued activity during the pandemic showed how DJs were using online platforms to stay connected while club events were restricted.
Digital D 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, while his production activity at the time included upcoming releases through Wolfrage Recordings.
Digital D opens Guest Show 18 with Max Chapman before Nonduality and Mo'Cream establish a warm Deep House foundation. Morpei's "She A Freak" in The Checkup remix and Deeleegenz's "Another Jam" then add a looser, groove-led feel while keeping the set rooted in underground House Music.
Homero Espinosa, ColorJaxx and Mo'Cream deepen the flow through Large Music and No Fuss Records before Tonis and Alex Zela bring more bounce into the middle of the session. Mo'Cream returns again with "I Need You", giving the mix a consistent soulful thread without losing its stripped-back club character.
Eliis Elisa, Paul Najera with Jesusdapnk and Simon Shaw continue the progression through warm percussion and tighter low-end movement, while Memo Rex and Chris Mindel add a slightly more playful edge with "Popular People". Mo'Cream's fourth appearance follows with "Say Something", reinforcing the deep-house core that runs throughout much of the set.
Lebedev's "Heaven" and the Vintage Culture with Slow Motion remix of Maverick Sabre and Jorja Smith introduce a broader House Music crossover before Kreature and Marotti return the focus to club grooves. Vertigini, Random Soul with Withus and Roland Clark then guide the final stretch towards a more vocal and soulful feel.
Simon Shaw's "Juicy" keeps the closing section energetic before Elisa Elisa finishes the programme with "Get Down" on Heat Up Music. Across the full selection, Digital D blends Deep House, soulful grooves, classic vocal House and funkier club cuts into a smooth, dancefloor-focused guest mix.
