My Free Downloads Mix. 

Over the years I’ve given away lots & lots of free tune downloads. I think it’s prob about 100 in total! It dawned on me one day that it would be pretty cool to put together a mix featuring a load of my favourites from over the years. From my first ever freebie, the re-edit of The Prodigy ‘Narayan’ from back in 2008 which was a bit of a killer, dance floor filling, secret weapon in the Break da House days. To the latest, a great new version of the iconic Bruce Hornsby tune ‘The Way It Is’ that I used to listen to on cassette over & over again when I was a little kid back in the 80's. There’s a bunch of other great ones that didn’t make the mix like my whole Ghetto Funk EP from 2013, my NWA ‘Straight Outa Compton’ remix that’s one of my most ever played on Soundcloud & loads from the That’s Not An Edit series that I’ve done 13 freebies for now. 

I tried to include the full spectrum of genres I’ve been making over the years. Starting off funky into nu disco. Then from a bit of mid tempo bass into house & breaks. Even finishing off with my only ever go at dubstep or dugstep. 

So without further a do here’s 24 tunes (just) over 90 mins of my best freebies… ENJOY!

My Free Downloads Mix

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.
