Style: Unique and original. He is a classically trained musician who was turned on to electronica at an early age. He uses all of his musical influences in vast arrays of sound for each and every track. He creates tracks full of bangin' bass and rippin' breakbeats. Artist history: DJ Dig-Doug started Spinning records while making tapes for his breakdancing crew in 1984 at the age of 13. He grew up in Detroit, MI. His older step-brother was friends with Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson who lived down the block and taught this DJ the ropes. Doug Moved to Orlando, FL in 1992 at the age of 21. His Friend DJ Icey gave him his first "break" spinning at The Edge's Sunday Skool parties. He soon started producing his own shows featuring Icey and an elite crew of DJ's mostly responsible for creating the "Florida" sound of Funky-Breaks. This inner-circle included, but was not limited to the likes of DJ's Sandy, Andy Hughes, Rob-E, Jason Brown, Mike Hiratzka, Chris Marchese of Knight Life records and Force of Habit, Jeff Paymaster of Rainbow Bridge. Although DJ Monk, Dave Christophere & Bunny of Rabbit In The Moon were his most famous associates. For 5 years DJ Dig-Doug was found blowin' up dancefloors at raves and events throughout the southeast, and as a regular at the infamous Orlando party place "the Club@Firestone" . He dropped out of sight in 1998 in order to straighten up his act and clean out his system. Over the past two years he has been focused and inspired while putting together his studio and his plans for world domination. Although he's yet to become a household name in electronica, his studio and and record label are tight and together. He is now producing some of the PHattest 'ardcore bangin' tracks available today. Watch out world, here he comes!!!
