Eat More Cake feat Emily May - 'Teardrops' (D-Funk Mix). 
Grits N Gravy [GNG015]

This is my remix of @eatmorecake 'Teardrops' that's out on my label @grits-n-gravy. The original is a awesome chilled out cover of the classic 'Teardrops' that oozes class. I wanted to take it into a more dance floor friendly direction but keep the laid back feeling. Hopefully I did one of my all time favourite tracks justice!

Teardrops

Eat More Cake feat Emily May - 'Teardrops' (D-Funk Mix) [Grits N Gravy]

Funkin, Jazzin & Club Mashin DJ and producer from Brisbane, Australia.

Dion Hunt aka Dastardly Kuts is a veteran dance, hip hop and party style/ open format DJ who is also the driving force behind Brisbane based artist agency Kut Above Entertainment. With a desire to provide the highest quality music, live performances and visual arts in conjunction with only the very best in funked up party vibes, he has made it his mission to provide artist management and a collaborative event support network that is centred around core values of equality, diversity and social enterprise.

As a DJ, Dastardly Kuts has been bringing his mashed up style of funky club flavours to Australia for over eighteen years in a career that has seen him warm up the decks for some of the most respected artists across the dance music spectrum. Having graced the stage at numerous festivals across the East coast including recent performances at Jungle Love, The Streets Beach Bash, Valley Fiesta and Regional Flavours whilst also holding down residencies at top Queensland night spots Solbar, Cloudland, Press Club and The Sound Garden, DKuts shows week in and week out that he’s equally at home entertaining some of the biggest dance floors in the country as he is setting the mood in the intimate surrounds of a small lounge bar.


It’s Dastardly Kuts ability to read a crowd and effortlessly glide between genres using a combination of traditional DJing, turntablism and live remixing that has earned him a reputation as one of Australia’s premier party starters, which in combination with providing a forward-thinking, passionate and dedicated commitment to artist and event management behind the scenes, guarantees that any event involving the Kuts name is going to be delivering only the very best in funking good times.

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.
