I’m super stoked to be heading back to Hobart in Tasmania to play at Secret Sounds Of The Underground 7th party alongside house music legend Anthony Pappa! I’ll be headlining The Beat Down room alongside local talent DJ Thensum, Dazema & MC Wombat, DJ Pressed & Rola. The big man Anthony Pappa will be holding down the Secret Sounds Of The Underground room & Organic Mechanics will be hosting the Psy Room.

It’s a secret party with the venue being announced on the day which makes it even more exciting!

It’s been a few years since I last played in Hobart so I’m really looking forward to heading down to the very southern part of Australia again.

Here’s another low slung house number/Nu disco number that I put together & release as Doug Masters, the alias I use for my more house orientated stuff. This one’s a deep & groovy tune that takes on an old disco jam that was also sampled by a couple of french artists a few years ago (those that know, will know). I made it a little more stripped back & synth driven but kept the same vocal elements that made the tune such a anthem in the 2000’s. It’s a free download so help yourself & enjoy…

Over the past couple of months I’ve been stirring up a little disco brew. 3 of those tunes have joined forces to make my ‘Night Disco Vol 1 EP’ the first of a new series‘Night Disco Vol 1 EP’ the first of a new series of crafty nu disco jams that will be release on Grits N Gravy…

I’m really happy with how this EP’s sounding & with the cool/funky nu disco direction reflecting a lot of my DJ sets recently. These 3 tunes really spread across the genre from loopy & edit heavy (I Got The High), to funky & filtered (Everybody Loves A Filter) to a little deeper & electronic (Definition).

I’m super happy to be making my debut at Shindig Weekender Festival in UK over the weekend of 25/26/27th May ’18. I’ve not played at a UK festival for a few years, the last one was Glade Festival in 2012, so it’s been a while between drinks! I also grew up in the west country of UK so this is close to ‘home’.

I’ll be playing on my good friend Father Funk‘s Church Of Love stage that looks & sound like a super fun time!

ENJOY!!!

Recently I’ve been playing & making quite a lot of disco & house. I’ve always played this kind of music but have been more focussed on funk & breaks, especially for the production side of things. I put this sweet little tune together & played it out a few times where it sounded really good! So I thought I’d give it away as a freebie. If you like this fun, disco/nu disco sound then you’ll be please with what’s coming over the next few months…
