While I've been working more on a nice and easy hip hop instrumental lately, the "chocopop" showed up while i used my itunes in library in random mode.
Somehow I felt like doing something new and I gave him some new drums, percussions, some instruments and efx.

Hope you dig it.

Chocopop - Forrest Funk Edit

BBP is back with another compilation, and this time we&rsquo;re going all summer on it. Paradise Lounge is designed for all aspects of summer. Be it in the Lounge bar, chill-out area or the dancefloor, this compilation provides for all, and kicks off with a bang.
Two awesome producers combine forces for the intro track, and we know we&rsquo;re in for a party, when Crash Party &amp; Boydex get together. They&rsquo;re bringing back those feels of the breakdancing days with &lsquo;Rescue Me&rsquo;, that will be sure to get for feet tapping, both on the sofa and on the dancefloor. The same goes for Bright Idea, who knows his chilled vibes, yet is a funky brother, and hasn&rsquo;t disappointed with this, smooth down-tempo house number call &lsquo;Fun at the Disco&rsquo;. Imagine a beautiful sunset at Caf&eacute; Del Mar, with a mojito in one hand, winding hips and a huge smile on your face... then you&rsquo;re there. Up next is a man that needs absolutely no introduction. You hear the name Pecoe, and you know instantly you&rsquo;re in for something good with &lsquo;Need a Friend&rsquo;. A rolling bassline, riffing guitars, and more soulful vocals, that changes up to keep you wanting more. Yet again he hits the mark. It&rsquo;s a pleasure getting this next artist on yet another BBP compilation, as we know we will be getting something great. Jayl Funk has read the vibe perfectly with &lsquo;She is Hot&rsquo; and is an ideal fit for this compilation, with a track filled with summer vibes, you can enjoy in all settings.
Next up is Gramophone Soul, who should be a name synonymous with quality, and yet again the man delivers. His remix of this classic, &lsquo;Trouble&rsquo; fits in anywhere, be it at the festival, the club, or just in the chillout area. A rising star in the edit and remix of classics scene, is the man like LROY. After delivering a stormer of a tune for the very successful Boot of Paradise compilation, he&rsquo;s back with a Boom and a Bap!! Getting super soulful with &lsquo;Soul Break&rsquo;, you get exactly what it says on the tin... Soul and a badass break!
Last up, is a new guy on the scene, going by KaKaow. This guy is a musical talent, using live instruments, and combining them to compose a super funky little number called &lsquo;Shimmer&rsquo;, that makes you reminisce back to those 80&rsquo;s funk days.

Do It Right [Grits N Gravy // Night Disco Vol 2]

Exodust is summer heat in techno form — warm, pulsing, and hypnotic. Skeleton lifeguards watch the waves as dancers move in the surf, the bassline echoing long after the sun sinks. The party never ends… it just drifts into the dream !

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.
