Before reclaiming himself as the elusive Doctor P, Brockhurst went under the names Sounds Destructives with a fellow musician, Slum Dogz with two other DJs and DJ Picto, by himself. His friends had nicknamed him Picto, which he used as an alias during his drums and bass phase, and Brockhurst claims that this is what the P in Doctor P stands for.
The music produced by Doctor P can be described as an amalgamation of many different genres, from dubstep to glitch hop to moombahcore. In creating these types of sounds, he uses a variety of instruments including a music sequencer, sampler, synthesiser, drum machine, personal computer and the DJ mandatory, turntables.
Doctor P possesses a huge discography, from first release ‘Air Raid’ in September 2009 to some of his biggest hits such as ‘Sweet Shop’, ‘Tetris’, ‘Watch Out’ and ‘Big Boss’, all of which have received over two million views on YouTube alone, suggesting a surprisingly massive fan base for the relatively unknown DJ and music producer. He has also recorded remixes of famous artists such as Plan B, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears and Example, which have also received millions of hits on YouTube.
Doctor P’s sound has been compared to a number of modern artists and some acts that he is regularly associated with include Flux Pavilion, Swan-E, Trolley Snatcha, Caspa, FuntCase and Cookie Monsta, amongst many others.
One of the beauties of the relative ease of making dance music these days - if not in terms of creativity, certainly in the respect that computers make the process of putting electronic music together an efficient one - is that those involved in actually producing such music can dabble in different styles relatively easily. In some circles, English producer Shaun Brockhurst might be best known for making drum and bass, under the moniker of Sounds Destructive or Slum Dogz, but he’s probably most popularly recognised as Doctor P, a dubstep extraordinaire who’s taken the scene by storm these past few years. Brockhurst’s reputation has already been enough to score him high-profile collaborations with the likes of Flux Pavilion and Method Man, and has also seen him play live both on his own and with the Pavilion, too; those latter shows were huge hits across Europe, with a stunning, frantic live show reflecting the pace at which he would hold his own on stage, swapping beats and tracks with his collaborators in impressive, and increasingly creative, ways. He’s currently gone quiet on the touring front, but expect more UK dates once he has new material to drop; he’s seldom away for long.
