Dutch DJ D-Felic releases his debut album, fusing electronics and soul while collaborating with UK and US singers Colonel Red and Tondráe Kemp. Oost West Thuis Best, named after a Dutch saying meaning ‘there’s no place like home’, was recorded, fittingly, in between international DJ gigs in D-Felic’s The Hague home studio.

Over a two-year-period, D-Felic has dug deep into his soul to create a timeless album that locates electronic soul, downtempo funk and broken beats in a finely balanced mix of the digital and the analogue. Besides Colonel Red (People Records, Bugz In The Attic) and American vocal sensation Tondráe Kemp, D-Felic has collaborated with the acclaimed guitarist Marcus Machado and famed Dutch trumpeter Jan van Duikeren (Candy Dulfer, Paul Weller, New Cool Collective Big Band).

As a boy, D-Felic started fiddling with daddy’s records, when not practicing his recorder lessons. Growing up, he began playing keyboards in bands, getting onto big stages and into small bars alike. DJ’ing and putting on parties brought this funky Dutchman to even more venues, not just in the Netherlands but also in London and even in China. His combined love of vintage instruments and cutting-edge electronics has found its way into the songs of Oost West Thuis Best. A video and a Tom Trago (Rush Hour Recordings) remix of deep house album cut ‘The More I’ (featuring Colonel Red) are both on their way.

Alongside his eclectic DJ sets D-Felic is currently preparing a live show based on his super fresh new productions.
