The DK Effect are an original funk, soul and gospel-infused RnB band from Australia’s deep south (Tasmania).

The group’s powerful yet exquisite vocal and focal trinity (Crystal Campbell, Ruby Austin-Lund and Belle Richardson) are a veritable tour-de-force, and Randal Muir (keys), Aleks Folvig (guitar and vocals), Al Tolond (drums), David Johnstone (bass) and Jed Adams (sax) deliver grooves as deep as a freshly pressed 45.

While the DK Effect’s material focuses on storytelling, melody and harmony, it is also saturated with the passion and polyrhythmic ‘call and response’ vocal synchronicity of gospel music. A selection of the band’s repertoire has been captured on their debut recording which has been expertly mastered by the amazing (and Grammy Award winning) Dave Darlington at Bass Hit Recording, NYC to accurately present their organic and authentic, early funk and soul sound.
