It’s Free Download time again!

I knocked up this little gem for my recent Europe tour & played it all over the place. It worked a treat & I’ve had a few people asking me for it so I thought I’d let it out for everyone!

New HOUSE track! This my second release as Doug Masters, the name I’ll be using to release more housey stuff…

I teamed up with Cakes at The World Bar, where I’ve been resident for a number of years as D-Funk. They pitched me the idea of their first ever compilation & I was keen to have a track included on it, along side some other great Sydney based producers.

Check out the full compilation here:

Recently I was asked by the lovely fellas from Perth, The Beatslappaz to do a remix of their mighty fine track ‘Bottles’ which was released on their label Rump Shaker Records. It was to be part of a Rump Shaker Remixed Ep where a load of artists remixed tunes from the Rump Shaker back catalogue. It turned out this Ep never saw the light of day but we were all super happy with the remix I’d put together so we’ve decided to give it away for free! ENJOY!

Over the past few months I’ve been really feeling some bass heavy, 4/4 type tunes that have been released so I’ve put together a mix of some that are wetting my whistle! It’s not all bassline bangers, some are a little deeper but all (in my opinion) have great basslines. I also included a couple of cheeky little classics from the vault towards the end of the mix. Watch ya bass bins I’m telling’ ya!

I’ve been back in the studio cooking up some fine funk & soul with the man they call the Sugar Ray! 2 sublime low slung tracks that carry on from our last Ep, pushing classic sounds into the nu disco territory. This Ep is out now on Grits N Gravy…

It’s always such a pleasure to play at Space, Ibiza for my good friend Mr Doris at his After Dark Ibiza night. The year he’s joined up with the legendary Carl Cox to host the Sunset Terrace at Music Is Revolution on Tuesday 13th Sept. In the After Dark room I’ll be spinning alongside A.Skillz, Mr Doris, Ghetto Funk Allstars & Kevin Cutts. The other rooms will host John Digweed, Marco Carola, Deetron, Eli & Fur, Saeed Younan & of course the big man himself Mr Carl Cox who shall be playing 2 sets, 1 on the Sunset Terrace right before we kick off there!

This season is the last on Space, Ibiza as the venue is being taken over from next year with everything changing. It really is the end on an era & this party is going to seriously going to be one to remember!
