JDS To Get The 'Purple Funky Monkey' Off Their Backs at Future Music Festival and Sideshows
The duo made up of Darren Pearce and Julian Napolitano (of Perpetual Motion), better known as known as JDS, grabbed the publics attention with their monster track ‘9 Ways’ on FFRR
Remixed by the Plump DJs, it was caned in the clubs. It was followed by the stellar album ‘Purple Funky Monkey’ on TCR, which produced the huge dancefloor hits ‘Rockstar’, ‘Blackout’, ‘Don’t Be Alone’ and ‘Disco Rockers’ as well as the title track and caused them to be called ‘blinding’ huge’ and ‘stupidly massive’ by the likes of Freq Nasty, Lee Coombs and Laurent Garnier.
Since then they have mixed an album in the essential Beatz and Bobz series, released sizzling new tracks ‘Some Kinda Funky Shit’ and ‘The Spice’ for their Punk Funk imprint plus a single called ‘Shake It’ for Phonetic.
Darren is the DJ of the outfit and last toured here with Krafty Kuts; this time around he is heading up the breaks arena at Future Music Festival; and taking in some killer club shows too.
