In terms of music style, it really depends where you catch Dom. He plays everything from house to hip-hop and rock to reggae. Dom has been fortunate enough to play in just about every club of note in the city centre and currently holds residencies in Bamboo, Byblos and Karbon.
On the studio front, Dom produces under 2 monikers: Dominic Martin – most of these tracks are done with production partner Chris Harris, and the sound reflects the pair’s influences in black soulful music, jazzy US, deep and funky house; and Domsko –which reflects Dom’s harder, electronic white-boy leanings.
2007 has been a breakthrough year for Dom, signing tracks to prestigious labels all over the globe, such as Nordic Trax (Vancouver), Guesthouse (San Francisco), Kingdom Kome (Hamburg), as well as several respected UK imprints such as Tronicsole, LostMyDog and Second Coming.
So far, Dom’s tracks have been supported by a host of international DJs such as Derrick Carter, DJ Heather, Greenskeepers, Mark Farina, Mousse T, John Larner, Demarkus Lewis, Justin Long, John Acquaviva and Funk D’Void.
With several other productions slated for release late in 2007, and a string of releases around the corner, 2008 is shaping up to be a big year for Dom.
You can catch Dom and James at Karbon on Fridays, playing a big mash-up of rock and indie in Room 2. On Tuesdays you can catch one of Dom’s marathon 6 hour sets upstairs in Bread and Butter.
At Bamboo on Saturdays, you can catch Dom in The Lounge, playing a big mash-up of soul, funk, disco,
rock and indie and on Sundays in the Red Room playing house music to make for a perfect end to the weekend.
