A while ago I did the Housing Around Vol 1 mix, a mix of way more housey sounds than I’m usually know for. I figured it was high time I did Vol 2. This one’s a bit of a ‘journey’ through groovy nu disco, various forms house & electro. I very much enjoyed mixing it & I hope you enjoy listening…

Mr Doris & D-Funk are back at it once again & this time they’ve got a bit of help from their super talented buddies. The first buddy is MysDiggi, a UK hip hop legend. They put their heads together & came up with ‘the timeless new single [Juno Records]’ that is Cruise Control. The next bunch of buddies are Basement Freaks, Dazzla & Nightmares On Wax. They set forth 4 sublime remixes making this package pretty much essential…

Twenty-five years is a fair chunk of time by anyone’s estimation but for Doug Masters, he remembers his first ever DJ gig at The Depot in Bristol like it was yesterday. “I was so nervous I thought I’d never do it again,” he says. “Little did I know that I’d end up playing thousands of times more and at some of the best clubs and festivals all over the world.”

Marking 25 years that has seen Doug release on labels including Sunday Best, Bombstrikes and Westway with his D-Funk alias, become one of the architects of the funky breaks sound with his mid-2000s night Break Da House and play everywhere from Ibiza to the US, Canada, Europe and his adopted home of Australia, Doug has embarked on two mixes to celebrate his two and a half decades in the game.

“I’m lucky to have been through so many scenes,” says Doug. “I caught the tail-end of the rave scene in the UK, zipping around to find parties in fields and in disused railway tunnels and then moved through progressive house to trance to UK garage and breaks and then on to my own production journey in the 2000s. I wanted to put together some mixes that reflected all of that.”

The first mix of the two-part series is a collection of tunes that have influenced Doug over the years, touching on everything from disco & house to UK garage & breaks to jungle, while the second collects together 25 of Doug’s personal favourites from his illustrious career as a producer.

“I was lucky enough to spread a style of music I loved and helped create around the globe,” says Doug. “I want to celebrate that and everything that influenced me along the way with these two mixes.”
