Who is Doof?

Nicholas "Nick" Barber, better known by the stage name Doof, is best known as a London-based psychedelic trance musician.

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, Simon Posford, also known as Hallucinogen, and the Dragonfly Records label.

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 who later that year would start the highly influential trance label T.I.P Records. Doof's "Let's Turn On" became the second ever T.I.P 12" release. This was followed in 1995 by another 12" for T.I.P, the Born Again EP on Matsuri and another 12" for Dragonfly. 1995 also saw numerous Doof remixes, including tracks by Hallucinogen and The Infinity Project.
