D-Funk - 'Make It Right'
Grits N Gravy [Night Disco Vol 2 // GNG023]

Over at Grits N Gravy HQ we’ve (still) got the disco bug. In fact we’ve had it for years. Far before any other bugs that took over the world. The disco bug is the one that comes out & shines to the fabulous. It started off in New York then spread all over the world & now from Sydney, Australia the 2nd installment of Night Disco is upon us.

It’s been a little while since we’ve released music on Grits N Gravy. We’ve not been idle, far from it. We’ve been biding our time & waiting. Waiting for the time the discos are open & the people are once again dancing. So with disco dancing in mind Grits N Gravy label co-boss D-Funk bring you 3 upbeat slices of 21st century original disco music.

Night Disco Vol 2 will be released on Grits N Gravy across all sites on the 2nd September ‘22.

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

It&rsquo;s always a pleasure to welcome back one of the elite players in the funky breaks secne: Pecoe for his 9th release on BBP. As per usual on this EP we are in for a special treat &ndash; a Beat Treat of 4 new Pecoe bangers all funked up to perfection.
Pecoe is also one of the hardest working producers at moment and the fact that this is his 6th release this year proves that. His wining concept of clean polished funk and party rocking breaks makes him sought after &ndash; and labels like Spa In Disco, Good Stuff Recordings, Rare Wiri Spain &amp; Katakana Edits all dropped Pecoe release as well as BBP who dropped his For The Funk EP and featured him on various compilations and co-productions.
Pecoe shows no sign of slowing down as he kicks off the Beat Treats with the Champion Sound jam with heavy duty funky beats and catchy vibes. The EP moves on with the Listen banger that continues the funky grooves with some smooth vocals hooks. On the third cut Pecoe Make It Hot with a big groovy bassline and some funky breaks along with some banger vocal hooks, which should be sure to set any party on fire. Finally Pecoe concludes the EP by throwing in some soulful party grooves and catchy vocals on the Shake Your Pants.
Yet another funky party rocky EP from the BBP vault.

FKX142 - Qdup - Electric Tonight Remixed

Qdup's latest disco fueled single 'Electric Tonight' gets re-imagined in 3 different styles by top notch artists. Rory Hoy, Turnstyle and Holmes Ives each put their own touch on the single and give us 3 new remixes that will be lighting up dancefloors and shaking butts world wide.

First up and making his Fort Knox Recordings debut is UK's own Rory Hoy. Rory has 5 critically acclaimed albums under his belt on Freddy Fresh's Howlin' Records label and numerous singles, EPs, remixes and collaborations on various labels worldwide. And he literally wrote the book on Big Beat with his 2018 publication 'The Little Big Beat Book' which explores one of our favorite 90's genres. Rory delivers a super vibey mid-tempo breaks remix that's sure to keep the heads nodding and bodies' moving. Groovy chords and a classic sounding breakbeat lead the way and a heavy bassline drop elevates the energy to flex any soundsystem. 

Up next is Turnstyle, a new moniker for the artist formerly known as Bobby C Sound TV, who remixed Fort Knox Five and many more. His remix of Electric Tonight takes us on a journey that feels like neon drenched 80's Synth Wave with modern heavy-hitting dancefloor production sensibility. Ominous arpeggiated synth lines and a pulsating bassline and beat drive the vibe of the track playing off the vibe of Qdup's original mix while pushing the tempo and energy up. This one makes us feel like getting in a Delorian and gunning it to 88mph to go back in time!

Rounding out the remixes is long time collaborator and Fort Knox Recordings mastering engineer, Holmes Ives. Over the years Ives has established himself as one of D.C.'s premiere electronic music producers with over 50 singles and 11 albums spread over various label including Yoshitoshi, Bedrock, Caffeine, Six Degrees, Shinichi and more. Holmes puts his stamp on Electric Tonight with a groover of a remix. complete with a 4-to-the-floor beat, a tight bassline and relentless rhythm lay the foundation as vocal chops weave through the beat to great musical effect. This remix is definitely Electric!

Confidence Man, JADE - Gossip (Revlow Edit)

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.
