D/troit

Country

In the UK, one of the early fans of the band was none other than Craig Charles who has played the bandโ€™s previous singles from the EP called Do The Right Thing weekly on his BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2 shows. By his own admission, D/troit is Charlesโ€™ โ€œfavourite new bandโ€, and that is certainly a stamp of approval from a man, who knows whatโ€™s what and whatโ€™s hot in soul, funk and rโ€™nโ€™b. Charles also broadcast a special 3-song BBC session and interview for โ€œThe Craig Charles Funk and Soul Showโ€ in November 2016.

In 2016 D/troit won โ€œBest New Bandโ€ at Scandinavian soul Music Awards in Stockholm for Do The Right Thing. The Song โ€œSoul Thingโ€ was licensed to a worldwide Heineken TV commercial and songs from the EP appears in numerous films and TV shows.

Another fine stamp in D/troits soul passport comes from Gabe Roth, the co-founder of Daptone Records, which is both a studio and a label. Roth is the main man behind the mixing console at Daptone and is also a fine musician and songwriter for a lot of their artists. His credits include work for The Heavy, Sharon Jones and The Dapkings, Charles Bradley, The Budos Band, Lily Allen etc. โ€“ and he famously recorded and performed on a lot of the recordings that made up Amy Winehouseโ€™s break-through album Back to Black. After having heard D/troitโ€™s EP, he agreed to mix the first single, title track โ€œSoul Sound Systemโ€, and ended up being chief mix consigliere for the entire album.
