Biography

There are two artists with this name:

(1) Nick Barber (born August 31, 1968), better known by the stage name Doof, is a London-based psychedelic trance musician.

(2) An early 80s project of Phillip Johnson.

(1) Doof’s first official release was in 1993 with NovaMute, the dance-label run by Mute Records, a 3-track EP titled “Disposable Hymns to the Infinite”.

It was through Novamute label-mates Juno Reactor and Ben Watkins that Doof was first introduced to producer Youth (Killing Joke/Brilliant), Simon Posford (Hallucinogen/Shpongle) and the Dragonfly Records label. Dragonfly became a focus for the newly-forming psy-trance scene in London in the mid-90s, debuting many seminal trance-artists including Martin Freeland (Man with No Name), Paul Jackson (Voodoo People) and Total Eclipse.

Doof went on to release “Double Dragons” as a 12” with Dragonfly in 1994, and to produce a series of tracks in partnership with Simon Posford, including “Let’s Turn On”, “Born Again” and “Angelic Particles”. It was through his friendship with Simon Posford that Doof was introduced to Raja Ram (Shpongle/The Infinity Project/Quintessence) who later that year would start the highly influential trance-label T.I.P Records. Doof’s “Let’s Turn On” (co-produced with Simon Posford) became the second ever T.I.P 12” release.
