Doof

Real Name: Nicholas Barber

Goa trance artist from London / United Kingdom.

Nick Doof is one of the pioneering names behind the psy trance sound along with Man With No Name, Hallucinogen and Juno Reactor.

Anthemic trancefloor classics like "Gift Of The Gods" (NovaMute), 'Let's Turn On' (TIP) and 'Mars Needs Women' (TIP) made him an international name and a favourite with Derrick May, Danny Rampling, Paul Oakenfold and Tsuyoshi. His first album, 'Let's Turn On' (deleted until re-released by Twisted Records) sold in excess of 10,000 and gained a lot of attention from the music press, radio DJ's and MTV (for the video for "Mars Needs Women").

He is also renowned for his excellent, slightly darker releases under the name Citizen Caned with Benji Vaughan aka Prometheus. He has played all across the world - from Mexico and Brazil to Japan and New York.

His outstanding closing sets at the Boom festival (to 10,000 people) and in Ibiza for September's outdoor full moon party have secured Nicks' place as one the best and most sought after late morning DJ's in the world.

30th Anniversary of The Love Mixes!

This was a tape collecting the first Doof tracks from 1992. Hand-dubbed, and with a hand-drawn cover, I recorded it to give to friends in December 1992. As far as I know, only a single copy still exists.

To celebrate the 30 year anniversary, I went back to the original Tascam 688 multitrack cassette tapes, which I somehow still have, and remastered each track. The sound quality of the Love Mixes tape was not great by modern standards, but the original multitrack tapes actually survived the years quite well. Of course, the master tapes are still only cassettes, not digital masters. But I think they have their own charm, very much of their time.

Five of these early Doof tracks have never previously been released anywhere. And the other two (Gift of the Gods and The Nagual) are the original 'demo' versions of tracks that were later released in re-recorded versions. These original versions have also never previously been released.

So... 30 years on and, I think, not sounding too bad. They definitely have a vibe. Well, those were the days, eh?
