As I had such a hard decision on which tunes to include in my D-Funk 25 (Part 2) mix (https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/d-funk-25-part-2) I thought I'd put together a playlist here of the tunes that nearly made it but just missed out.

John Dean shimmies effortlessly across the dance floor with Franck Roger and Mr Doris on the mix for this shiny new release on Edinburgh’s Ghetto Disco Records.

Franck Roger steps up and delivers with his revision of ‘Show Me a Witness’.

D-Funk Vs N.W.A - 'Straight Outta Compton' (D-Funk Mix).
FREE DOWNLOAD.

It's freebie time again! I've not put a free tune up for a while so here's a banger from my personal collective. It's been throughly road tested & has been given the thumbs up. A while ago I did a remix of one of my all time fave hip hop groups, N.W.A but since then my production skills have (hopefully) come on heaps so thought I'd tip my hat at it again. Hope you enjoy listening/playing it as much as I did!

This is my remix of @eatmorecake 'Teardrops' that's out on my label @grits-n-gravy. The original is a awesome chilled out cover of the classic 'Teardrops' that oozes class.

Sugar Ray Johnson & D-Funk - 'Hold Me Back' [GNG018 // The Return Of Sugar Ray EP]

Buy exclusively from Junodownload - http://www.junodownload.com/products/sugar-ray-the-return-of-sugar-ray/3188859-02/

Junodownload says:
Here we have a meeting of minds from down under, with Aussie producers Sugar Ray Johnson joining forces with D-Funk for what they explain is a more disco orientated release that what we might normally be used to hearing from them. SRJ and D-Funk are big fans of Grits N Gravy, so that's where they've decided to stay, delivering two subtle vintage edits for our listening pleasure. "Gove Me Your Love" delicately tweaks and phases a shuffly old Curtis Mayfield number, whilst "Hold Me Back" adds some extra housey thump to some prime old crackly soul/funk loops. Ace!

It's been a while since I dropped my last freebie, so I thought it was high time for some more free music! This is a rework I've been playing loads. Works great for both hip hop or nu disco dance floors. I made a whole new & pretty sweet bassline/synth. Added a few cheeky little vocal chops & generally switched things up! ENJOY!

D-Funk vs Inxs… 'Mystify Me' (D-Funk Mix) [Grits N Gravy/Breakfest EP] ***FREE DOWNLOAD***

@Bombstrikes welcomes Mr Doris & D-Funk for their debut single: 'All Down' featuring N'fa Jones and Cantaloop. Whilst they may be new for the label, they are certainly not new to the scene. This one has real international flavour to it with the four collaborators hailing from Ibiza, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. When not touring the globe as resident for huge events such as Glitterbox, Space and Pacha, Mr. Doris can be found on the beautiful white Isle of Ibiza, where his fusion sound of funk, soul, hip hop and house has seen him produce with legends such as Nightmares on Wax and Groove Armada. D-Funk resides in Sydney where he has a long established a global reputation as a legendary purveyor of all things beats, breaks and funk over multiple tours and 100 plus releases. That pedigree is definitely on show with this release. First up, the original mix of 'All Down' fuses broken beats with deep bass dives, organ riffs and funk guitar licks which is all brought together by the outstanding vocals of N'fa Jones and Cantaloop. 'On the flip', Aldo Vanucci, most notable as Plymouth's 14th best DJ, does what he does best and funks out the groove with infectious horn hooks and delivers a head nodding master of a remix. Once again showing why he counts the likes of Fatboy Slim amongst his biggest fans. Based on this debut, the combination of Mr. Doris & D-funk with Bombstrikes sounds like it could be a perfect match!

All Down EP

Mr Doris & D-Funk feat N'Fa Jones & Cantaloop - 'All Down' (Original Mix) [Bombstrikes]

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.
