Upstart Music, circa 2008. The brain child of then UK based D-Funk. Quickly nominated at the International Break beat awards, Upstart set out it’s stall early; to release quality break beat led music from across the globe. Fast forward to ’14 & Upstart are still going strong all be it based in Sydney, Australia nowadays.

Everyone loves a good bit of nostalgier so after listening back to the tunes we’ve released we decided to update some of our classic tunes & have drafted in an all star line up of both old & new names alike.

Upstart boss D-Funk takes on one of the label best selling tunes in the shape of Rogue Robot’s ‘Off My Face In ‘97’. His updated version flexes old skool 2 step garge vibes, a sound he’s become known for recently. Bubbling basslines & lighters in the air!

D-Funk > 'My Nikes' [Free Download] 

'A couple of months ago I played at a rave in UK. It was grimy in the best possible way. The other DJs were playing a mix of bass music & what I would call speed garage. That event inspired me to get in the studio & make my own take on it. I'm a huge fan of Flodan, the UK grime artist & the vocals used here come from his sample pack. He's got a great voice & I tried to use it in a interesting way.'

The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue - 'Edge Of Saturday Night' (D-Funk's Electrovelvert Mix) 
*Free Download* 

This was my entry into the recent Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 'Edge Of Saturday Night' remix contest. I took the tune & gave is retro electro feel with with a modern funky twist. I really like the remix & Kylie's vocal are amazing (as you'd expect). Needless to say I didn't win the comp & I'm fully expecting this remix to get taken down at some point so grab it for free whilst you can!

You can find the original track which is taken from The Blessed Madonna's album 'Godspeed' on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0WGs5bQx4HefdubdFh1kfE?si=dgo0xwjgT1aqtcPfAETphw

D-Funk - Old Skool Ting (Part 2) *Free Download*
Breaks/Old skool/Rave. 130bpm. 

In 2015 I released ‘Old Skool Ting’ on the awesome Perth (Western Australia) based Rump Shaker Records. A great break beat label run by The Beatslappaz. I can’t quite believe it been a decade since it came out! Over the last couple of years I’ve been reconnecting with my UK rave culture roots, which lead to me putting together ‘My Rave Tape' (https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/myravetape), a mix that features my favourite & most influential tunes from my raving days in the 90s. Over the years made a few remixes of some of those tunes, like Awesome 3 - ‘Don’t Go' (which is also a free download: https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/d-funk-vs-awesome-3-dont-go-d-funk-mix-free-download). I decided to take another look at my tune ‘Old Skool Ting’ & give it a proper re-make. Switch up the beats, adding new synths & vocal samples. It bangs & now it can be yours for free!

If you don't have Soundcloud or would like this track in all formats you can find it a my Bandcamp: https://d-funk.bandcamp.com/track/old-skool-ting-part-2-free-download

D-Funk vs Flume & Flodan - 'I'm Not Flume Brixton' *Free Download*
UK Bass / Grime / Break beat. 133bpm.

Recently Triple J challenged producers to complete an unfinished Flume track, offering a blank canvas for any style. Hearing Flume's raw, heavy bass stems, I immediately gravitated towards a UK bass and grime direction, but with my signature breakbeat influence.

To capture that authentic UK vibe, I incorporated vocals from the newly released Flodan sample pack (yes, those vocals – but they fit perfectly). The result? A bass-bin shaking monster, packed with intricate sound design, complex basslines, and driving, energetic beats.

Again I wasn't lucky enough to win the Triple J competition so now I'm giving my version away for free. Not sure how long it will last before it gets taken down so grab it whilst you can!

If you don't have Soundcloud or want this track in another format you can find it on my Bandcamp:

Les Rythmes Digitales - (Hey You) What's That Sound? (D-Funk's Nobody Likes That EDIT) *Free Download*
Electro / Electro Breaks / Funky Breaks. 120bpm.

I was meant to be doing 1 free down every month this year but recently life stuff got in the way & I got sidetracked. I'll do my best to catch up with a few extra freebies over the coming months. 

Here's one my tried & tested bangers from the vaults. I've played this so much over the years & it's always worked a treat! In fact I made this to play at Break da House, the breaks & electro night we used to do in UK so it's an older edit. I lost the original project file so this is the edit I've been using. As they say it's an oldie but a goodie! 

The original (Hey You) What's That Sound was released in 1999 & became one of the instant classic electro tracks of that period. Les Rythmes Digitales, who's actually called Stuart Price, also produced as Jacques La Cont (amongst others) & went on to produce for Madonna & they made the Abba sampling 'Hung Up'. 

If you don't have Soundcloud or want this track in another format you can find it on my Bandcamp: https://d-funk.bandcamp.com/track/les-rythmes-digitales-hey-you-whats-that-sound-d-funks-nobody-likes-that-edit-free-download

Krafty Kuts - Bang Bang *OUT NOW*

Well, if youre Steve Aoki you re-enact a scene from Titanic, if youre David Guetta you play your cover of a well-known nursery rhyme, and if youre James Marvel and D&B Award nominee for Best MC, MC Mota you debut your brand new single live on stage.One of the D&B scenes most respected record labels and a firm Zane Lowe favourite, AudioPorn, snapped up James Marvel in 2013, thanks to his fresh take on the genre. 

Having remixed both Dub FX and Xilent to huge effect recently, causing riots on 170+ bpm dancefloors across the globe, now its James Marvels opportunity to destroy dancefloors with his own original music.And so the story of two artists going to war with emotionally bland music begins. Way Of The Warrior is not only D&B at its finest and most energetic, its also drum & bass at its most experimental. Fuelled with MC Motas off-key spitfire raps and James Marvels uncompromising, head-splitting bass, this is a battle weapon thats set to cause havoc when it is unleashed via AudioPorn on 11th September 2015.

Completing the single is Outlife, a distinctly different cut that showcases a mellower, softer side to James Marvels production. Undoubtedly, James Marvel is not a name to watch; with music this good hes a name to listen to.

Dub Pistols - Killa Sound (D-Funk Mix) [Sunday Best Recordings]

Release date - Nov 16th 2015 - 9/10 THE MONEY SHOT - DJMag

For this monumental release Marten has teamed up with the lovely Eva Lazarus to deliver a sure fire hit Deeper Down.

On the B side Marten goes solo and pushes his sound into new territory with a ‘no frills’ dance floor monster Time For Some Action.

9/10 THE MONEY SHOT - DJMag
“Germany’s Marten Hørger comes swaggering out of the blocks with a beefy floor-filler based around a minimal techy two-step rhythm with just the right amount of distortion, some killer percussion and liberal use of analogue-style rising bass. It’s the old trick of finding the sickest of sounds and tweaking it to high-heaven with gleeful abandon, playfully and skilfully rendered by an artist who delights in pushing the boundaries of breakbeat-fuelled bass music” 9/10 THE MONEY SHOT

Sugar Ray Johnson & D-Funk - 'Hold Me Back' [GNG018 // The Return Of Sugar Ray EP]

Buy exclusively from Junodownload - http://www.junodownload.com/products/sugar-ray-the-return-of-sugar-ray/3188859-02/

Junodownload says:
Here we have a meeting of minds from down under, with Aussie producers Sugar Ray Johnson joining forces with D-Funk for what they explain is a more disco orientated release that what we might normally be used to hearing from them. SRJ and D-Funk are big fans of Grits N Gravy, so that's where they've decided to stay, delivering two subtle vintage edits for our listening pleasure. "Gove Me Your Love" delicately tweaks and phases a shuffly old Curtis Mayfield number, whilst "Hold Me Back" adds some extra housey thump to some prime old crackly soul/funk loops. Ace!

SpectraSoul - Away With Me ft. Tamara Blessa (Calibre Remix)

Sydney-based, British born DJ, D-Funk has amassed a fair few achievements in his 25-years on the decks. Making his club debut at The Depot in Bristol in 1995, he’s gone on to DJ all over the world, playing notable sets at Space Ibiza and Ministry Of Sound and released on labels including Sunday Best and Bombstrikes. 

Getting his first set of decks at 14, Doug initially fell for the sounds of jungle and techno before a night dancing to house icon Tony De Vit in 1997 turned him towards the slinkier sounds of house music. 

His DJ career began to take off during his time at university in Wolverhampton where he started to pick up gigs at the Canal Club and Mezzanine, playing alongside DJs including Joey Negro, Mr Fingers, Scott Bond and Lisa Lashes, before a move to the South-Coast town of Bournemouth led him to eventually start his own night ‘Break Da House’ in 2004. 

The night took off, attracting big names including The Stanton Warriors and Plump DJs and eventually led to D-Funk’s first release, the ‘Electrotek’ EP after Dub Pistols headlined one night and Barry Ashworth from the band decided to release Doug’s music on his Westway label. The track found its way onto a TV ad in Portugal, as well as becoming a mainstay on Kiss FM’s breakbeat chart and gave Doug the confidence to pursue a career as a producer as well as a DJ, eventually leading to releases on Adapted Records and Ghetto Funk among countless other labels over the next 15 years. 

Moving to Sydney Australia in 2009, Doug started his label Upstart Music, releasing his own productions alongside tracks from the likes of Crackerz & Jam, Niko & Lyall and Rogue Robot and later started the funk label Grits N Gravy alongside friend and funk producer Philly Blunt, with the label winning the ‘Best Label’ award at Perth Dance Music Awards in 2010. 

Since living in Sydney, Doug has held down residencies at The World Bar and The Standard/Middlebar for the best part of a decade, as well as regular slots at Sash, Ivy, Goros, Hugos and many others. He’s played events for high profile companies such as Blackberry, Telstra, Jagermeister,  Sydney Cricket Ground & Saatchi & Saatchi. But there was still demand for him back on the side of the world and he regularly returned to Europe to play at Space Ibiza (including a set at the penultimate night of Carl Cox’s Revolution party) as well as touring in the UK, Europe, Asia and Canada. 

Now 25 years into his career, Doug is about to mark the 10th anniversary of his label Grits ‘N’ Gravy, with a compilation due this year mixed by himself and Philly Blunt, and has been busy producing house, hip hop and nu-disco with his current production partner Mr Doris.
