So this is the first in my series of 'Tracks from the smelly cellar' where I'll be giving away a load of edits/bootlegs/mash up/tracks I'd put together for my DJ sets & haven't seen the light of day yet.

This is a edit I put together of Tori Amos's 'Professional Window'. I actually edited a great nu disco bootleg that was made Social Disco Club & added extra beats, vocals, edits & bass. I wouldn't normally give away an edit of an edit but i think this one is different enough from both the original & their bootleg to warrant it. It's also had great reactions when I've played it out so thought I'd share the love!

If you like this or download it I'd love it if you gave it a heart or left a comment! 

Thanks… Doug D-Funk

D-Funk vs Tori Amos - 'Been A Long Widow' ***FREE DOWNLOAD***

Who Am I | Ross Go Re-Funk

The very early Goodgroove records label artists sampled the heck out of early funk tracks and funily enough i came across the same tracks Featurecast used to make some of his early Funky Breaks bangers. So this tune is a bit of a homage to him (you'll know when you hear it) and the early Funky Breaks pioneers.

Another FREE download. x :)

Chaka Kahn - Like Sugar ft. Mikeandtess & Breakwater (Romano Gemini Beast Release Live Edit)

Didn't manage to get this past the Soundcloud copyright first time around when I originally uploaded it as part of the 'Soul Nuggets Vol.1' EP back in February but nice to see @andy-buchan-edits got his version up a few weeks ago so thought I'd give it another roll of the dice.

Alternatively, for those who don't like Hypeddit or want the pick up the 3 track EP in full, head over to Bandcamp - https://djxs.bandcamp.com/album/dj-xs-soul-nuggets-vol-1

Awesome track, become a bit of a modern party classic over the last couple of years, I flipped it slightly, added some slightly tougher beats whilst hopefully keeping the organic vibe plus re-arranged the structure slightly adding an extra verse and chorus as I do tend to get a little obsessive about structure.

Jungle Sometimes (Disco Mashup)

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.
