Domu on SoundCloud

I’ve been kinda sloppy with yesterday’s Weekly Bits. Not only did I forget to mention the Seasons Change mixtape from Stee Downes, I also wanted to mention Domu‘s recent activity on SoundCloud.

Weekly Bits 10/2009

The Guardian’s Simon Reynold has written a controversial article connecting the Wonky or the Dubstep scene with the use of Ketamine. More interesting than the actual article are the reactions on the Brownswood forum, where it was discussed intensively.

Domu's Remixes, Rarities and One Offs

Later this year, you can expect a new double CD from Domu on Tru Thoughts. Called Remixes, Rarities and One Offs, this compilation is what the name suggests. It will be preceded (“very, very soon”) by a…

Two goodies from Domu

Today, Domu has posted two new mixtapes on his blog. I certainly prefer the first one (labeled “made for Nikki”), which starts with some pretty hefty beats and other twisted sounds, and ends with…

So I asked around, part 2

Instead of following the usual Best-of talk at the end of each year, I sent some questions to some of the musicians I like. In the second part of my survey, I asked about the expectations for the new year.

So I asked around, part 1

Instead of following the usual Best-of talk at the end of each year, I sent some questions to some of the musicians I like. Here’s the first part, looking back at 2008.

Yotoko – Silver Room Sessions 2

Domu – Odyssey

Papa Trax makes its debut release with an EP from Domu. Papa Trax? That’s right, it’s a subdivision of UK based Papa Records, focusing on a more club-oriented sound. For the moment there is no information whether Odyssey will be available on vinyl, it can be downloaded exclusively from Traxsource.

It’s that time of the year again, that Domu substitutes Benji B on BBC 1xtra’s Underground Soul. In the last two weeks new tracks from Kaidi Tatham, Zed Bias, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Blakai and Phlash & Friends have gotten airplay.

Here Comes Treble

It’s been one of my favourite compilations of the year and I’m late on my review duties – but in fact this blog didn’t even exist when everybody else was loving it already. Today we’re talking about Here Comes Treble, the first compilation from Domu‘s young TrebleO label. And it’s a great debut, way too fresh to be put in this blog’s classics category!

Some Domu Mixtapes

Domu has posted some mixtapes on his blog, which can be downloaded as long as SendSpace can offer the files.

I am going to include a couple of treats in this one though, in the vain…

Domu – Discotech

While the rest of the world only got the 12″ with four tracks, Discotech was released in Japan (through Psychic Phenomena) as a full album – dispite the EP name. It’s been widely dubbed as Domu-does-Theo-Parrish album, which in my opinion applies to the production technique only. The trademark Domu sound is still there!
