although his methods may provoke more discussion than his music
(at least among chin-stroke types and the british and american
dance music presses), doctor rockit's matthew herbert is an
experimentalist of a subtle stripe, combining his love for all
styles of dance-based electronic music with a desire to push their
modes of expression into new areas. although herbert studied music
formally, much of his creative impetus has been provided by the
compositional potential of digital sampling technology, which he
liberally applies to genres such as house, electro, ambient, and
techno, fashioning tracks of detail and originality from such
mundane objects of everyday life as kitchen flatware, crockery,
even his own body. although the first of his tracks to be released
on 12-inch came out through the universal language label
associated with global communication, the horn, and herbert's own
wishmountain project, he's since released a flood of material on
the clear and phono labels, as doctor rockit and herbert,
respectively. with doctor rockit, herbert focuses on old- and
new-school electro-funk and housed-up techno, fusing clangy,
rattling beats with humorous melodies and left-field samples and
vocal snippets. with his eponymous project, herbert releases the
unlikeliest of experimental house tracks, working within the
genre's feel-good, four-on-the-floor arrangements while
drastically tweaking its modus operandi. his signature approach
has given post-rave house's stale comportment a badly needed shot
in the arm, and has (somewhat inexplicably) been widely embraced
among mainstream and underground house audiences alike. while
continuing to record for both clear and phono, herbert also
applied his remixing skills to a number of notable artists,
including friend jonah sharp of spacetime continuum (both on the
latter's remit recaps remix lp and on his strange attractor
12-inch on phono). after a 1996 full-length on clear (the music of
sound), herbert returned to his doctor rockit guise in 2000 with
indoor fireworks
