Everybody Loves A Filter [Grits N Gravy // Night Disco Vol 1]

Est. 2010, Life Support Machine is an electronic music blog that's very much alive and kicking! Our dedicated team of part-time bloggers, full-time music fans, hunt down the very best in Funk, Disco, Breakbeat, House, Techno, D n B, Jungle and Rave influenced music!

If you're short on bangers for your set or party, you're looking for a DJ mix to soundtrack your pursuits, or you're looking for a good album to get stuck into, our Audiology unit can prescribe to your requirements any time you like.

If you have music that fits in with what can be found on our blog, drop us a message and we'll give it a whirl as soon as we get chance to.

Grits n Gravy is the brainchild one of Perth's favourites, Philly Blunt and UK breaks guru D-Funk. 

Together these 2 cats have released music on the likes of Goodgroove Records, Manmade Records, Roca Records, Booty Pirates, Westway Records, Destination? Records, Warriorz, Sunday Best Records & of course D-Funk's own label, Upstart Music. They put their (limited) brain power together & came up with a master plan to help spread the love of the more funk end of the music they & their chums/chumps make & love.... and so Grits n Gravy was born.

Since inception we've put out release that have topped the Juno Download (all genres) chart on numerous occasions from the likes of Slynk, Tom Drummond, Mr Doris, Some DJ, Angry Buda, Bezwun, Sugar Ray Johnson, Ad'N'Kuts, Kidd Linus, Donewrong & of course Philly Blunt & D-Funk. 

Our latest release is:

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.
