||| SunTzu Sound's Favorite Broken Beat DJ, DOMU Returns to Seattle on
May 18 |||
Every other Sunday, hundreds of Londoners and visitors to U.K's capital
flood down the narrow staircase of Plastic People in Shoreditch -
proceed to face eastwards with a prayer mat and bow to the shrine of
broken beat - Yes the Co - Op night, held fortnightly in London
(resident dj's 4 Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Demus, I.G Culture, Phil
Asher, Alex Attias, Mike Slocombe) is mecca for many - and more often
than not - if we dare raise our head from the obligatory bowed position
- you will see the smiley face of DOMU (also resident) getting
seriously busy on the cross fader and trying out new CD-R's, dubplates
and soulful experimentations that will - in 2 months time - become
underground dance hits across the world - yet it always seems to start
in these 4 sweaty walls that a demanding crowd pay homage until the
small hours of Monday morning.
The thing is this - You must have and probably already have a DOMU
track or remix in your collection somewhere. Under his various guises
(Domu, Rima, Sonar Circle, Realsides, Bakura, Kudu, Blue Monkeys) he is
one of the prolific, yet consistant producers around. From being one
half of European jazz stalwarts, RIMA (with partner Volcov) on Compost
Records to the earlier beat trickery as Sonar Circle for Reinforced
Records, he has crossed genres, leading and directing scenes to fresher
and greener pastures.
With releases as well on Sonar Kollektiv, JCR, Compost Records,
Archive, 2000 Black, Irma, Good Looking, Spinning Wheel and Arision as
well as remixes for Jazzanova, Vikter Duplaix, Cinematic Orchestra, 4
Hero, Alison David, Dom au Romao, Ennio Morricone and Rednose Distrikt
to name a few, he must be considered part of the leftfield royal
family.
His most recent musical journey comes under the UMOD (DOMU backwards in
case you were wondering) with an album entitled " Enter the UmoD" due
for release on Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv label in March 2004. This is
a more downtempo outing in keeping with his recent style of remixing -
re-inventing the traditionally bland "trip hop" instrumental style by
adding soul and surprise with a warm and timeless finished product. So
good in fact that Gilles Peterson picked up a track for his Worldwide 4
compilation. He has also completed a mini Lp for Italian imprint Neroli
as well - built more for the dancefloors. Due out around the same time.
