As I had such a hard decision on which tunes to include in my D-Funk 25 (Part 2) mix (https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/d-funk-25-part-2) I thought I'd put together a playlist here of the tunes that nearly made it but just missed out.

John Dean shimmies effortlessly across the dance floor with Franck Roger and Mr Doris on the mix for this shiny new release on Edinburgh’s Ghetto Disco Records.

Franck Roger steps up and delivers with his revision of ‘Show Me a Witness’. His mix intro's with a percussive led groove, warm pads, and the silky smooth male vocal with a super cool bassline that slips into the realms of indie disco-house. The subtle melodies, create an uplifting tone of pure quality. We love it!

Mr Doris & D-Funk add pure funky disco stomp that oozes bassline boogie badness baby! You'll also find a bonus beats DJ tool, the original and Instrumental in this superb package.

Pecoe - Jam

1.  Boydex, Pecoe ft. Sully Sax - Push it 
2. Boydex - Funk Fam 
3. Boydex & Stabfinger - Cosmic Funk 
4. Boydex - Party 
5. Boydex - Ease your mind

Boydex is back, and this time he’s brought a few funky family friends along for the ride!!

He kicks off joining forces with the legend Pecoe and new face Sully Sax to bring you ‘Push it’. This combo is perfect, and can’t get funkier, with smoooooth sax skills, stabby vocals a rolling bassline, and guitar riffs making those feet shuffle all the way through.
Next up is the title track, ‘Funk Fam’. This drops the tempo, for a bass heavy hip hop stomper celebrating the family that is FUNK!!
Now there are certain names synonymous with electric funk tracks, and Stabfinger is one of them. Boydex and Stabfinger are a perfect combo, creating a track filled with so many bass styles, yet strung together perfectly for a “hand-in-the-air" funk banger designed for nothing else than to ensure you’re glued to the dancefloor.
Now the party is going, why not add another ‘Party’ to the list. This keeps the vibe going, with its uplifting horns, flowing guitars and bass, as well as a few cheeky vocal stabs and raising strings to keep you in it.
To finish off, Boydex gets old skool funky with ‘Ease Your Mind’. From the moment you hear that flavaflav sample, you’re sucked into a world of soulful vocals, a deep rolling bassline, sax stabs and guitars to keep your groove going til the end!

Bad Piano Habit

Smokey Montrose & D-Funk - 'Bad Piano Habit' (D-Funk's Broken Beat Mix)

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.
