Steve Carr

:(This page is about the British DJ, Steve Carr, using the pseudonym, D4. For the New Zealand garage rock band under the same name, see D4).
Steve Carr is an Ipswich based drum and bass artist, who has used various pseudonyms such as Digital, D4, Natural Mystic, S.O.S., and Submissive Element. His signature bass-lines & radicalized dubbed out sounds reach back to his childhood seeing his father run his own sound-system for nearly thirty years in Ipswich, UK. The moniker ‘Digital’ was given to Steve by the Ashanti Sound system, immediately recognizing his technical ability operating a sound system at the age of 14 while also relating the moniker to the future, his youth and the emergence of the digital age. It wasn’t long before Digital used his dad's sound-system on his own, in 1991, with the ‘rave scene’ growing in & around Ipswich he started to hire-out the system to various promoters, noticeably Danny C who he befriended through their love of music and raving. This is when he really got interested in the rave scene and its music triggering his curiosity that drew his attention to production.

Peel played many of Steve Carr's material which had various pseudonyms. It also helped probably that the artist came from Ipswich, which was not far from Peel Acres, where Peel lived. In 2002, Peel nominated Digital's Dubzilla album as one of his albums of the month for June 2002 (Peel's Record Box).
