Spin Doctor
DJ/Producer
Music Style: Soulful / Funky
/ Deep / Tech / Tribal / to Dirty, Electro House.
The
early Saturday mornings running to spend his pocket money
on the latest 45s have transformed into late nights playing
them to packed dance-floors. It has taken a
few years but Spin Doctor’s passion for music new &
old has remained a constant. What did change
is when back in ’88 when one of his sisters brought
home a copy of the Beastie Boys “Licence to Ill”.
He heard bits of the Soul & Rock records, he had been
listening to for years in a way that was fascinating &
exciting in equal measure. That was it he had discovered Hip-Hop
& then the party really started.
From the early years in any
venue big enough to take his Sativa Sound System & the
more recent times packing clubs with SoulBrew & the Legendary
Funkin’ Pussy Sound Squad it has always been clear that
when it comes to rocking a party Spin Doctor has the
midas touch. With Spin on the decks you can
expect to hear anything from Hip-Hop & classic Funk to
Rare Groove & House always mixed with a few unexpected
floor-fillers & with a style influenced by his love of
Hip-Hop born that afternoon lying on his sisters floor watching
that Def-Jam logo spin.
As well as his London residencies
at his own nights The Doctor’s Orders & Life &
Soul Spin, monthly sets @ Ministry Of Sound & Plan B,
Spin can be heard rocking clubs & events as varied as
the legendary Southport Weekenders & B-Boy battles to
record release parties & film rap parties as far &
wide asTurkey to Canada. Over the years DJ Spin Doctor has
had the pleasure to play alongside some of his heroes in De
La Soul, DJ Cash Money, DJ Babu, Kool DJ Herc, Afrika Bambaataa,
Norman Jay, Jazzie B, & DJ Shadow among many others. Having
successfully tried his hand in production & radio (Breaks
Fm/Bounce FM & guest spots on Kiss 100 & 1xtra) Spin
still prefers to concentrate his time on what he does best,
rocking parties with the open minded party selection that
has seen dance-floors packed throughout the years all over
the world.
