According to Wikipedia:

Mad Doctor X, the undercover alter-ego of hip-hop veteran DJ Jason Tunbridge (aka Xavier Jones, Funk Wizard Jay Rock, DJ Jason, Monty Props) has been busy working in the lab conducting his illicit experiments and concocting his ill beats in various disguises ever since: London Funk Allstars and DJ Toolz on Ninja Tune, Clusterfunk on Cooltempo, and most recently as Mad Doctor X on Freskanova. He may also be familiar as the man providing all the scratches on The Freestylers’ recent records.

London Funk Allstars is the fruit of a collaboration between a bunch of musicians/DJ’s/Producers/Mixers already responsible for various projects including Clusterfunk and DJ Toolz and all those releases on Blaaps!. The link between all these is Jason, who was (is) part of all these projects.

For the London Funk Allstars projects, Jason teamed up with long time friends and musicians (keyboard, bass, flute…) and the debut EP Can You Understand arrived in March 1995. This was closely followed by the release of London Funk Allstars Vol. One, packed with samples, breaks, jazzy cuts, laid back hip-hop and even a hint of acid.

At the time Ninja Tune were catching vapours from a pretentious competitor label called Mo’ Wax. Pete played the groundbreaking DJ Krush album Strictly Turntablized to the Doc and felt the London Funk Allstars could sell to a new market of instrumental album buyers of the now vilified Trip hop market.

The album was very well received by DJ’s, punters and press. ..Genius..!! was used by music loving DJ and journalist Willbur Wilberforce in his review of London Funk Vol I for Touch magazine.
“Armed with samples from Gang Starr, Barry White, The Six Million Dollar Man and the video game Street Fighter, the London Funk Allstars add quite a bit of jazzy spice to their funky breaks and hip-hop influenced beats.” (Jessy Terry) London Funk Allstars want to give a big slap to the hip hop genre, giving the London version of the thing. Indeed, London Funk Volume 1 is a small wonder that inspired hip hop turns in all directions.

“I really wanted to have some rap tracks in amongst the instrumentals. I thought that people who bought Ninja Tune releases, that were basically hip hop backings, would want to hear the tracks laced with raps. I wanted to bring in emcees and singers to give my tracks wider appeal.” The Doc was told Ninja Tune was not a rap label. Ironic when you look at its output today.

The second album Flesh Eating Disco Zombies Vs. The Bionic Hookers From Mars, is more musician based than the first album, and includes, William George on vocals, John Miles on flute, Alan Simpson on guitar, Stefan on keyboards and Sir Hugo Havern on brass. It is warm and funky and has a sound resolutely melodic and live orientated.

The 2nd and the last London Funk Allstars album was released on Ninja Tune and the overspill of tracks was released simultaneously on Blapps!’ through Ninja Tunes distribution and was the 1st Mad Doctor X album Mad Doctor X’s Hip Hop Experiments Escape From The Lab And Go On The Rampage Volume 1.

Elsieanne Caplett’s voice is organic, like she’s the one actually raising the hair on my body, while Stephane Sotto’s drums torture your perceptions. A wonderful hybrid.
