Ralph Falcon - The Dig cover
RA Review
Ralph Falcon is perhaps most known for ‘Dark Beat’, a track produced in collaboration with Oscar G. His solo releases have been less prominent – although fans will remember ‘I Need Someone’, which ably demonstrated Falcon’s ability to deliver a well executed, growling tribal track.

I like original more than Radio Slave remix:p This record definitely deserves to be played on massive sound..


one of my faves from 2008 thus far. skip the umek mix. hard to choose between the other two. both kill!

This track is immense. Have heard it twice now at Fabric, once a few weeks back when Ewan played it and also when Damian Lazarus played it at the beginning of the year, sounds wonderful on the Fabric soundsystem!

Radioslave mix is awesome! Badger :)


unexpectedly good record, id stick to original mix

You wouldn't know it from reading this review but Ralph Falcon has been making brilliant music since the early nineties. As one half of Murk with Oscar Gaetan they pretty much wrote the book on dark tribal house music.
It is sad that the memories and experiences of so many electronic music writers only stretch back a few years.

Disagree with this review - its a monster tune. Have heard both the original and RadioSlave mix out (on different nights) and both are really solid.

4/5 for me.


play it hard, but play it fair

i bought this tune recently, its awesome, both the original & obviously the radioslave, which really does bring it to life. its a slow-burner & sounds chuggy & subtly anthemic on a big system. 5/5
