D-Funk > 'My Nikes' [Free Download] 

'A couple of months ago I played at a rave in UK. It was grimy in the best possible way. The other DJs were playing a mix of bass music & what I would call speed garage. That event inspired me to get in the studio & make my own take on it. I'm a huge fan of Flodan, the UK grime artist & the vocals used here come from his sample pack. He's got a great voice & I tried to use it in a interesting way.'

The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue - 'Edge Of Saturday Night' (D-Funk's Electrovelvert Mix) 
*Free Download* 

This was my entry into the recent Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue 'Edge Of Saturday Night' remix contest. I took the tune & gave is retro electro feel with with a modern funky twist. I really like the remix & Kylie's vocal are amazing (as you'd expect). Needless to say I didn't win the comp & I'm fully expecting this remix to get taken down at some point so grab it for free whilst you can!

You can find the original track which is taken from The Blessed Madonna's album 'Godspeed' on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0WGs5bQx4HefdubdFh1kfE?si=dgo0xwjgT1aqtcPfAETphw

D-Funk - Old Skool Ting (Part 2) *Free Download*
Breaks/Old skool/Rave. 130bpm. 

In 2015 I released ‘Old Skool Ting’ on the awesome Perth (Western Australia) based Rump Shaker Records. A great break beat label run by The Beatslappaz. I can’t quite believe it been a decade since it came out! Over the last couple of years I’ve been reconnecting with my UK rave culture roots, which lead to me putting together ‘My Rave Tape' (https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/myravetape), a mix that features my favourite & most influential tunes from my raving days in the 90s. Over the years made a few remixes of some of those tunes, like Awesome 3 - ‘Don’t Go' (which is also a free download: https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/d-funk-vs-awesome-3-dont-go-d-funk-mix-free-download). I decided to take another look at my tune ‘Old Skool Ting’ & give it a proper re-make. Switch up the beats, adding new synths & vocal samples. It bangs & now it can be yours for free!

If you don't have Soundcloud or would like this track in all formats you can find it a my Bandcamp: https://d-funk.bandcamp.com/track/old-skool-ting-part-2-free-download

Check out the original ‘Back To The Future EP’ on Rump Shaker Records which also features one of my favourite breaks/2 step tracks 'Rewind Selecta': www.beatport.com/release/back-to-…uture-ep/1556396

D-Funk vs Flume & Flodan - 'I'm Not Flume Brixton' *Free Download*
UK Bass / Grime / Break beat. 133bpm.

Recently Triple J challenged producers to complete an unfinished Flume track, offering a blank canvas for any style. Hearing Flume's raw, heavy bass stems, I immediately gravitated towards a UK bass and grime direction, but with my signature breakbeat influence.

To capture that authentic UK vibe, I incorporated vocals from the newly released Flodan sample pack (yes, those vocals – but they fit perfectly). The result? A bass-bin shaking monster, packed with intricate sound design, complex basslines, and driving, energetic beats.

Again I wasn't lucky enough to win the Triple J competition so now I'm giving my version away for free. Not sure how long it will last before it gets taken down so grab it whilst you can!

Les Rythmes Digitales - (Hey You) What's That Sound? (D-Funk's Nobody Likes That EDIT) *Free Download*
Electro / Electro Breaks / Funky Breaks. 120bpm.

I was meant to be doing 1 free down every month this year but recently life stuff got in the way & I got sidetracked. I'll do my best to catch up with a few extra freebies over the coming months. 

Here's one my tried & tested bangers from the vaults. I've played this so much over the years & it's always worked a treat! In fact I made this to play at Break da House, the breaks & electro night we used to do in UK so it's an older edit. I lost the original project file so this is the edit I've been using. As they say it's an oldie but a goodie! 

The original (Hey You) What's That Sound was released in 1999 & became one of the instant classic electro tracks of that period. Les Rythmes Digitales, who's actually called Stuart Price, also produced as Jacques La Cont (amongst others) & went on to produce for Madonna & they made the Abba sampling 'Hung Up'. 

If you don't have Soundcloud or want this track in another format you can find it on my Bandcamp: https://d-funk.bandcamp.com/track/les-rythmes-digitales-hey-you-whats-that-sound-d-funks-nobody-likes-that-edit-free-download

Leo Sayer - You Make Me Feel Like Dancing (D-Funk's Nu Disco Edit) *Free Download*

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.
