Funk Republic

About Me


As one of Londons rising stars of house music, FUNK REPUBLIC has captivated the next generation of clubbers and some of the worlds most influential DJs.
Obsessed with electronic music from an early age, a deep desire to be able to express his own sound began to form but it wasn't until 2001 that FUNK REPUBLIC made the jump to turn the dream into reality, laying down his first beats in the form of 'Hypnotizing' which was snapped up by Freedom Recordings and was released on vinyl in 2002.
Between 2003 and 2006 a string of DJ residencies followed at bars and clubs including Meet Bar (Farringdon), The 2 Brewers (Clapham) and Ego (London), as well as a string of DJ guest appearances in and around the capital, but his life was soon about to be flipped upside down....
In early 2007 FUNK REPUBLIC met DJ Steve-B and this was to change things forever. The passion they shared for all things musical was obvious and a few months later they went on to form the 'Bad Boy DJ's'. In November 2007 they won Pete Tong's Bedroom Bedlam competiton with their debut track 'House Music Will Never Die' and it was quickly signed by the mighty chicago based label Funktion Recordings, where the boys would be in the company of artists such as Ian Carey, Chriss Ortega, Calvertron, Harrison Crump and Gutterpunk to name but a few.
Since then FUNK REPUBLIC and the BAD BOY DJs have seen support from the likes of Pete Tong, The Freemasons, Lisa Lashes, Jørgensen, The Flash Brothers, DJane Betty Bizarre, Lissat & Voltaxx and Gary H and have been dubbed 'ones to watch' by the Queen of Funk herself, DJ Lady Duracell.
With tracks due for release on Push It Recordings, We Continue Digital, Emotive Sounds, Funktion Recordings, Bandito Records, Steal The Love Records and Satans Circus as well as having released remixes on Kingdom Kome Cuts and Jerry Ropero's Interlabel, 2009 and 2010 are shaping up to be massive years for FUNK REPUBLIC.
