BIOGRAPHY

2008 was the year that Dr. Rubberfunk joined the Jalapeno family and brought his live drumming, funk breaking, irrepressible good time vibe to the j-funk party. Prior to that he had been the archetypal artist in control of his own destiny setting up his own GPS recordings and successfully self releasing his first two albums, his debut ‘The First Cut’ and his second album ‘My Life At 33’ .

‘The First Cut’ was a record from an earlier era, with lots of cut up samples in the mix. Many people would have been nervous about putting out an album like this without a heavyweight legal team behind them, but as Rubberfunk shared a management company with Fatboy Slim they had seen it all before, and urged him to drop the album as it was without compromise. This album and the tour that followed earned him a worldwide reputation not only as a top producer but also as an innovative and exciting DJ.

One of the nicest guys in the music business, he used the connections he made traveling the world to work with a host of hot talent on his second album – a real progression from the first with fantastic songs and sublime production.

Since ‘The First Cut’ he had been pursued by the boss of Jalapeno Records who knew Rubberfunk’s sound perfectly encapsulated what the label was all about. After a few years of running a label alongside being an artist the Doctor decided it was time to concentrate on the music and signed up to the J-Funk revolution.
The first fruits of this partnership dropped in Spring 2008 in the form of the ‘Sunset Breakup EP’ – a cracking 4 tracker that rounded up 2 dancefloor friendly B-Boy tracks (originally produced at the behest of the Rock Steady Crew!) alongside the midtempo balearic groove of the title track and the sizzling soul of ‘Part Of Me’, a brand new collaboration with Dutch soulstress Sitzka.
