Really missing the legendary Spirit. His music and unforgettable laugh will always stay with me. Spirit set the bar high in the DnB and Jungle scene, and this unreleased version of “International” (London mix) is a perfect example of his brilliance. The original track appeared on his sought after Stalker EP back in 2017.

“Ray Gun” is a true Function classic. So when Kiljoy suggested we try our hand at it during his visit to the UK, I knew we had to make it happen. If anyone can capture the essence of what Spirit was all about, it’s Kiljoy.

SPIRIT 'RAYGUN (RMX) / INTERNATIONAL' 10"⁠
⁠
The legend lives on through music.. Digital & Kiljoy go in on 2001 'Raygun' and on the flip we have an unreleased 'London Mix' of International.⁠
⁠
"Spirit is no longer with us and is greatly missed. Even years after his passing, his music continues to feel ahead of its time. This forthcoming release serves as a powerful reminder of the depth of his legacy—raw, soulful, technically brilliant, and unmistakably his own. Few artists can fuse roughness and elegance the way Spirit did.⁠
⁠
"Ray Gun" captures the energy and attitude of the original, but refined with a modern edge for 2025. There's more power, more finesse, and a renewed clarity that enhances every aspect of the track without losing the essence that made it a certified classic.⁠
⁠
However, it's the unreleased version of "International" that truly takes your breath away. Cracking drum edits take you to a slamming bassline on the second drop, driving the track into a darker, heavier territory." ~ Digital⁠
