Released on Jisco a good few years back. It's a bit more of a remix than an edit thanks to some crazy additions.

I was blown away by Steve McQueen's recent Small Axe series of films on BBC1. One of them, Lovers Rock, featured a life affirming scene using Janet Kay's "Silly Games", to incredible effect. "Silly Games" is an all time favourite of mine (see below if interested) and one night recently I couldn't sleep so decided to take the A Cappella singing from the film and weld it to Dennis Bovell's dub mix of "Silly Games". Easier said than done, it took hours and hours and did not help me sleep as it was lunch time when I finished. I only ever did it for my own amusement but played it on my NTS Radio show and have been inundated with requests for it, so here it is. If you don't know the original, which got to no. 2 in the UK Top 40 in 1979, and is now a bona fide evergreen classic, I thoroughly recommend checking it out.


"Silly Games" by Janet Kay is one of my all time favourite songs; a definite desert island disc. In the summer of 1979 it was ubiquitous and seemed to be on the radio all the time. I was just falling deeply in love with pop music and this song in particular stood out, both for myself and my sister, and indeed to this day, whenever I hear Silly Games I think of her and that glorious summer spent listening to the radio all day, every day.

In 1979, I didn’t know "Silly Games" was Reggae, let alone Lovers Rock, but it was the catalyst for me falling in love with Jamaican music in all its myriad forms which is a passion that has only grown as the years have passed.

Incidentally, 1979 was such a formative year for me and music that looking at the top 100 most popular hits in the UK singles music charts in 1979 I note that nearly a third of them have featured in my DJ sets over the years - http://www.uk-charts.top-source.info/top-100-1979.shtml

"Silly Games" was written and produced by Dennis Bovell, a genuine UK music legend who I am deeply honoured to have had appear on Optimo Music on two occasions. He features in the Lovers Rock episode of Small Axe and indeed you can hear his deep, booming bass heavy voice on this version. As stated, this version was done purely for my own amusement and I don't want to take anything away from the wonderful Janet Kay whose voice is such a wondrous and integral part of what makes "Silly Games" such a great, timeless song.

Mr Doris is something of an anomaly in music. A humbling example of what it takes to truly succeed within the framework of multiple fields. With a steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (Latin, Soul and Jazz), foundation (Funk/Hip-Hop) and future (Electronic/Dance music) without any restraints.

His unique style has seen Mr Doris tour the globe on a regular basis as well as hold down respected residencies for brands such as Defected, Glitterbox, Magic Door (UK/Croatia), Pacha, Space and his most recent tenure at Hï Ibiza.
Production wise, Mr Doris has worked with reggae legend Sizzla, king of beats Nightmares On Wax, musical maestros Groove Armada and jazz greats The Baker Brothers while his tracks have recently been championed by Red Bull and Seth Troxler in promotional campaigns.

When not in the studio or in the booth, Mr Doris is musical director of After Dark (hosting Space’s famous Sunset Terrace for Carl Cox plus many events around the world), Manumission’s project at Lio Ibiza, The Social London (bringing live funk & soul bands to the nations capital), The Vicar’s Picnic & Back of Beyond festivals and world renowned beach restaurant El Chiringuito (Ibiza, Marbella and Dubai).

Mr Doris is as comfortable playing a chilled Balearic set as he is moving the masses on the dance floor or curating a catwalk. Whatever the venue, clientele or time of day, he can truly adapt his sound to fit the listener.

It is this versatility that sees Mr Doris in constant demand around the world.
