Duke Hugh, hip-hop producer/musician/alcoholic, is a master of flipping soul samples and turning them into golden-era-esque beats. It's awesome. I had to ask for a Marinate Mix. He says, "When I got home I got the decks and some vinyl out and just went with the flow hope you like it, it's a lot of different stuff." His mix is 40 minutes of chilled-out hip-hop jams from Common's "Interlude #3" to funky favorites like, Tom Browne's "Come for the Ride". Do yourself a favor...kick off your shoes, pour a drink and soak in this.

"We Got The Funk" Promo-Mix Jayl Funk

Figured it was time to throwdown an all vinyl mix. Dug out a few favorites and let it roll!

Vinyl Breaks From The Basement - Numero Uno

Damon Kirkham likes an alias, that much is clear. Formerly one half of Instra:mental (along with Al 'Boddika' Green), he operated as Kid Drama , before employing the Jon Convex moniker around the time the duo split around 2011. Details of the split remain sparse to this day, but what is apparent is that the sepration hasn't stopped the flow of quality music being released by Kirkham. Always operating with a sonic pallete that took note from, but didn't exclusively sitck to, Drum n Bass, he's now focusing on his output as Kid Drama, teaming up with former Autonomic collaborator d-Bridge as Heart Drive for a series of podcasts and some new material. With the podcasts focusing on a glitchy half-step and synth heavy electronica, it would appear Heart Drive is a new exciting chapter in Kirkham's perennially forward facing musical career.

Tracklist free, Hyp 165 takes in all facets of Kirkham's career, travelling from his Autonomic days to the present day revival of Kid Drama. Jungle, Footwork, Half-Step and DnB all fit in seamlessly as Kirkham keeps the quality throughout for an hour's worth of music that refuses to sit still for a single second.

YG - My N***A (Destructo & Wax Motif Remix)

This week on Hyp 168, a true master of his craft unloads an hour of classics on you. An ambassador for Jungle since its conception, Randall is held in the highest esteem across the genre as one of the finest DJ’s to ever rinse out an Amen break. A resident at two of the most legendary parties of the 90′s in AWOL (A Way Of Life) and Metalheadz’s Sunday Session at Hoxton’s Blue Note, Randall became famous for his dark, rolling style, going on to become one of the biggest DJ’s in the scene. Primarily known for his mixing talents, Randall is also an underrated producer with credits on classics such as his and Andy C’s ‘Sound Control’, and the head of label Mac2 alongside long time friend Cool Hand Flex. 

Enjoy hearing him go to work on Hyp 168 - a relentless procession of bangers, the mix is a history lesson from one of the most qualified teachers around...

@d-funk

Bored of straight house beats, D-Funk started experimenting with breakbeats, old school hip-hop and disco when he first broke into the house scene. Now after 15 years of DJing and producing, his prolific sound has put him on the map, busting his chilled funk and bass (and whatever else connects the beats) around the world. This mix has all the right notes to cool you down from the summer heat, and magnetic mash-ups to get your feet moving.

The Nextmen vs Lovebox 2012 - 10 Years Of Love

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.
