Originally landing as the debut release on Shabby Doll (SHB001), Donks showcases the Nottingham producer’s knack for stripped-back grooves, chunky basslines and warm analog textures that roll effortlessly for the dancefloor. Rooted in deep house but always with Nail’s own rough elegance, this EP set the tone for the label and cemented his cult reputation among selectors looking for late-night, hypnotic burners.
A piece of underground UK house history, Donks still resonates today as one of those timeless 12"s that feels as fresh in a club now as it did when it first dropped.
