Okay, this is a complicated one...
Back in 2006, Plushgrizzly from Aykaism.ch (now defunct) invited Jon H from Fort Knox Five to play a gig in Switzerland. He recorded the whole evening for a later broadcast on our common radiostation bigbeat.ch (now defunct). I'm not sure, we did ever play it, though... Not even sure if it was ever published in any way.
15 years later, I found this gem on my harddrive and played it during two episodes of my radioshow Eclectix, airing every Sunday, 6pm (cet), on evosonic.de.
First, I didn't want to upload it since I didn't know if it's okay with his friends and family over in DC, but after being asked by FK5 to upload it somewhere public, so they can share it with the world, I guess it is okay... ;)

For those not in the know: Jon H was 1/4 of Fort Knox Five, who died 6 years ago way to early in August 2015. He was an inspiration for way more people all around the world, than he could ever think of and I'm one of them. Thank you, Jon, for everything.

A showcase mix of tracks from Goodgroove Records made in Ableton Live.

What a time for Funky Breaks music or as known at the time as Nufunk. Goodgroove lead the way with artists world wide and a following that would lead people to the Ghetto Funk label and genre. Outstanding tracks from Featurecast with music that has stood the test of time, the beginnings of Second Hand Audio (The Breakbeat Junkie & DJP) and general output of funk music that would always rock a party.

Bombstrikes DJ Comp Winner- FunkyDrop

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.
