SENOR PELUDO @ CORNER CORNER 01.10.25

It was once again an absolute honour and privilege to play in Swingamajig at Shambala 2025, every time I leave this festival full of joy and my soul fully replenished, can't wait to do it all over again.

Before the festival a challenge was made to put together a set that fitted the venue and the wider Festivals vibe. It was a whole lot of fun liberally sprinkling some Swingamajig & Shambala magic throughout this set.

Hope this brings back some joyous memories for those that were there and piques the interest to sample Shambala in 2026 for those that weren't. x

Fort Knox Five at Somewhere (Bass Coast 2025)

A Frankenstein’s monster of a mix! Back from the dead (aka BUSY) it's DJ L@rgey. Finally in the mixtape saddle again. Yee haw.

This one’s a genre-smashed, tempo-riding, edit-heavy beast - stitched together with original mashups, DJ reworks, and a lot of late-night TLC. Hopefully, it's a romp of a listen.

Big props to DJ Jimi Needles for lots of the killer edits and superb Ableton tips, and to the whole Jimi Patreon crew for your support, advice and encouragement. I was rusty AF… but I think I found the oil can!  Also useful for the nuts either side of my neck (they weren't there before?!)

Big Beat was a cultural phenomena that was as much a vibe as any specific style of music. Hip Hop, Mash Ups and Breaks sat next to Funk, DnB and House...Basically if it felt right it was right!

Glitch N Funk Vol 4

Bigger Than Bassline [Adapted Records // Glitch 'n' Funk Vol 4]

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.
