In the UK, one of the early fans of the band was none other than Craig Charles who has played the bandโs 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 โfavourite new bandโ, and that is certainly a stamp of approval from a man, who knows whatโs what and whatโs hot in soul, funk and rโnโb. Charles also broadcast a special 3-song BBC session and interview for โThe Craig Charles Funk and Soul Showโ in November 2016.
In 2016 D/troit won โBest New Bandโ at Scandinavian soul Music Awards in Stockholm for Do The Right Thing. The Song โSoul 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 Winehouseโs break-through album Back to Black. After having heard D/troitโs EP, he agreed to mix the first single, title track โSoul Sound Systemโ, and ended up being chief mix consigliere for the entire album.
