Representing Jersey next up on our Time Is Now white label series is one of UKG’s most exciting up-and-comers who brings some serious ruffage whilst paying tribute to his Turkish heritage through melody and instrumentation.
Having recently collaborated on a weighty dubstep number with Riko Dan and TIN family members, Daffy & Soul Mass Transit System, Dominus has already established his place amongst some of the scene’s most widely-recognised names. It’s clear to see why. In The Shadows EP brings to the table five full-bodied UKG bangers, one with a unique twist which in particular sets his production style apart and pays testament to his experimental prowess.
‘Sultan’ takes its stylistic inspiration from traditional Turkish worship song, translating in Arabic-inflected vocal wails and instrumental percussion, and giving an exciting taste of what’s to come in his forthcoming material. With a warped bassline and wub galore, ‘On Fire’ is sure to be heard in DJ sets across the country, whilst ‘Sweet Enough’ sees Dominus team up with close compadre and Aussie stalwart, DJ Sunroof, on a similarly naughty number. Finally, antagonistic vocal chops prewarn of ‘Psycho Blud’’s fierce tone, later remixed by one half of illustrious duo Frankel and Harper who injects an infectious 4x4 rhythm and brings the EP to a rapturous close.
