They came up from Portsmouth—Nick and Darren Mears—two brothers wired on groove and grit. Since 2007, Da Funk Junkies have been churning out house cuts soaked in disco sweat and funked-up swagger. You don’t just hear their tracks—you feel them push. Basslines thump. Guitars jab. Every beat sounds like it knows the dancefloor.

Their name’s now stitched into the fabric of the Jackin’ House scene. With releases on Groove Culture, Spacedisco, and their own DFJ Recordings, they’ve clocked No. 1s and burned up the Traxsource charts. In 2024, they hit #236 in the Top 500. No signs of fatigue.

A funk-infused male vocal cuts through like streetlight on wet pavement. It’s like a jolt, a swagger, a groove with something to prove.

The others are curious little spies. They want to know which mixes you stayed for, which ones you ghosted, whether you
