专辑简介

With a DJ career spanning 3 decades & production credits from 1988, the Rhythm Doctor has an almost unrivalled knowledge of contemporay dance music; an intoxicating fusion when combined with programming & mixing skills of the highest quality. As a youth from inner city Birmingham his first passion was Reggae music and first break as a DJ came in 1976 when he fused the positive vibrations of Punk Rock with Reggae, Funk & Disco. In the mid 80s RD was regularly spinning Jazz-Funk & pure Jazz & Latin, alongside such DJ legends as Colin Curtis, Baz fe Jazz & Paul Murphy. In 1986 RD moved to London & with Jerry Dammers created the 3As club. Guests such as Soul II Soul, Norman Jay, Tim Westwood, Coldcut & the On-U sound system, made this night legendary in the history of London clubs. At the 3As RD introduced London to House music & together with the likes of Kid Batchelor, Eddie Richards, Colin Faver & Jazzy M was one of the few DJs championing this new music in the capital. In 1993 he produced a top 10 Billlboard hit-Enjoy Life on 8 Ball records which took him to New York & virtually every major city in Europe, then together with Philippe Lussan RD formed Mama records & released 16 eps & 1 album. After being blown away by an amazing warehouse party in the Estonian capital Tallinn in 1995, RD was offered a monthly venue & proceeded in bringing over many of his artist friends to perform, including Robert Owens, A Man Called Adam & Basement Jaxx. In Tallinn RD met the love of his life, married & established Estonias first monthly independant party-Mutant Disco in 1997. Guests have been many, to name but a few, DJ Pierre, Joe Claussell, Gilles Peterson, Ashley Beadle & Cassio Ware. Umblu now presents Rhythm Doctors album, in full-length and full-throttle.
