A. The Search for Meaning B. Abbott & Costello
Dom (and his Roland s760 sampler) was once described by seminal magazine NME as the “Ridley
Scott” of drum and bass. His epic early records helped form the blueprint of the scene today.
Originally releasing on No-U-Turn in 1994 and credited as one of architects of “Tech-step”. Dom was
signed by the legendary Moving Shadow label in 1996 where he released 3 solo albums and a
plethora of singles becoming their most prolific and influential artist in the history of the label.
Well known for his early alliances with school friends “Optical” and “Matrix”, Dom started his own label
DRP (Dom & Roland Productions) in 2006 to collaborate with like-minded artists. Now 15 years in
with an enviable roster from “Noisia” to “Amon Tobin” it is now the main home of Dom’s work.
Both of these tracks play to Dom’s music’s hypnotic nature and have been highly sought after since
their initial clips were released late last year on instagram. Search for Meaning is the aural equivalent
to being strapped to the front of a train and Abbott and Costello is Dom’s visualisation of how the
octopod aliens in the film “Arrival” march about, hence the use of their names.
