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 Beatie 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.
