The Shire Rats crew are lucky enough to have got themselves an absolutely exclusive mix from Mr Doris recorded live at the Beat Clinic in London a couple of weeks ago which we will be broadcasting live Monday 17th November 2008, 10pm-midnight, on www.brap.fm.



A bit about Mr Doris…

Mr Doris plays & produces everything from bootylicious breaks, nu skool and dance floor jazz to broken beat and afro funk taking in everything in between with a splashing of hip hop thrown in for good measure. He’s has been pleasuring the dance floors and lounges with his solid soulful sounds for the last 7 years now, taking his signature beats n’ pieces around Europe to such prestigious venues as The Royal Albert Hall, Fabric, KoKo, The End, Ministry, Turnmills & Cargo (London), Pacha, Space & Manumission (Ibiza) to smaller more intimate venues such as Herbal (London), Le Batofar (Paris), Oceania (Thessaloniki, Greece) and Sa Trinxa (Ibiza). Mr.Doris currently holds DJ residencies @ some of the worlds top venues including Scala, Cargo & 93FeetEast (London) & Space (for Carl Cox & We Love) & Pacha (Ibiza), where he brings his own unique jazz, funk & latin influenced sounds. He seems to becoming a favourite on the festival circuit too, playing at the Lake Of Stars (Malawi, Africa), The Big Chill & The Secret Garden (England), Nuits Sonores (France) and the Sonar Festival (Barcelona). Also now a regular on the Corporate Scene - Playing for The Smirnoff Electric Cabaret, My Mother Is Japanese, Cutty Sark Whiskey, Moét & Chandon & Southern Comfort SoCo. Not content with bars, clubs & festivals Mr.Doris has taken his rhythms to the catwalk playing @ Fashion Shows in Madrid, Barcelona & recently the opening of London Fashion Week.

Alongside his djing Mr.Doris is in demand for his production & remix skills. Recently having one of his tracks ‘Right As Rain’ used on an MTV web campaign & remixing the likes of new funk sensations Cantaloop, Big Trains Haymaker & The Impellers.

Mr Doris is lucky enough to have the capacity (and the record collection) to evolve his sound to the needs of the dance floor and the chill out crowd… whether it be a smooth latin or a liquid drum & bass section he has the ability to glide faultlessly through genres that all have that classic jazz-funk undertone that leaves the people dancing with a smile upon their face.

Sometimes other people can say it better...

"Crazy crazy beats... great to have him on board..." Carl Cox

“If one word was needed to describe Mr.Doris it would be versatile” Rob Waller (Soundcrash)

"Fresh sounding music with a twist..." Lee Rous (Plump DJs)

“An incredible selection of music...” Will Holland (Quantic)

"Wicked Tunes!" Nick Thayer (Bombstrikes/Finger Lickin)

After the Mr Doris mix Dr Fish will be spinning some Phat Fresh Breaks and Beats for the rest of the show.
