Mr Doris & D-Funk ft MysDiggi - Cruise Control (Doris & Dazzla Mix) [Jam City]

Mr Doris and D-Funk join forces with UK rap aficionado MysDiggi to bring us hip hop of the highest order in the form of 'Cruise Control'.

With production nods to the boom bap era of the 90's and a unique fun-lovin lyrical style delivered by frontman MysDiggi this track is a happy oasis of good time vibes that sets a precedence amongst those more electronic and synthetic out there.

With remixes coming from 'Dazzla & Doris', 'Basement Freaks' and the mighty 'Nightmares On Wax' this is set to be a big release for their maiden voyage on the good ship Jam City.

Juno Records said: 'Cruise Control' is the timeless new single from beatmakers Mr Doris and D-Funk. They call upon the vital rap services of UK aficionado MysDiggi for a throwback sound that comes with a big sense of fun. The good time rhythms flow freely over the tumbling, funk-fuelled beats, while plenty of subtle electronic sounds permeate the groove for a nice modern touch. Dazzla & Doris serve up the first, more driving remix and then Nightmares On Wax offers two different versions. One is all lumpy dub and skewed chords, the other is stripped back to a heady stoner sound.

Mr Doris & D-Funk ft MysDiggi - Cruise Control (Doris & Dazzla Mix) [Jam City]

There's easing into the story, then there's simply making an excuse to fill up a one hour and forty minute running time to become a full-fledged feature. And it's a looooong hour and forty minutes. Much of it is simply that - filler - which is downright annoying, particularly when you find yourself screaming "Move on already!" at the TV every few minutes. Yeah, that was pretty much me during the entire running time of the film. 

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.
