Doof Originating in the Sydney post-punk electronic music scene of the early 1990s, the slang term doof or bush doof refers to a type of outdoor dance party generally held in a remote country area or just outside big cities in surrounding bush or rainforest. Originating from Australia and New Zealand, events referred to as 'doofs' are now found worldwide and have built from a small set of social groups to a sub-culture with millions of active members worldwide, considered by some as a full blown culture similar to raves or teknivals. Doofs generally have healing workshops, speakers, art, live artists and DJs playing a range of electronic music, commonly goa, dub techno, Techno, acid heavy sounds and psychedelic trance. "Doof doof" is an Australian term for loud electronic music centred on a heavy bass drum kick.
