Profile
John's latest project began in December 2004, starting work on two new tracks using the unique properties of Ableton Live, and "Wanna Ride?" and "Four Walls" were finished in January 2005. The original idea behind the Beat Doctor project was to combine 21st Century house sounds with old skool sounds and a slightly minimal feel.
Later in 2005, John pushed the Beat Doctor sound in a different direction with the dark, progressive house cut, "Kicks", an experimental track with the melody built around six different kick drum sounds. The trademark Beat Doctor sound emerged in late 2005 with synth based electro house remixes of "Twist Turn Slide" (originally by Psychadelik Pedestrian) and "Push It Down" (The Toucan), and this style was taken into Beat Doctor's 2006 tracks. Sidechaining also became a signature of the Beat Doctor sound, used in John's most recognisable Beat Doctor tune of 2006, "Intermission".
In 2007, Beat Doctor remixed some classic Toucan tracks including "Pump It", "Your Smile", "Jumpin'" and "Move Harder, Move Faster", and also some new tracks including what has become the best known Beat Doctor mix to date, the remix of "Memories of Thailand" by Risey, which featured a more commercial electro club sound.
