Originally signed to No-U-Turn, he moved to the scene leader Moving Shadow in 1995. He has released four critically acclaimed albums to date, over 100 singles, high profile electronic remixes as well as many collaborations with some of the scene’s most talented artists.
As one of the pioneers of the tech-step genre he is well known for his cinematic otherworldly soundscapes, and it has often been suggested that he move into doing film soundtracks as his sound often conveys a strong visual element. Teamed with his sought after talent for producing dancefloor pounding rhythms, he has managed to stay at the pinnacle of the scene to this day.
In 2005 Dom started his own label Dom & Roland Productions releasing the creme de la creme of Drum and Bass collaborations, as well as being an outlet for his own work. An accomplished sound engineer, Dom is well known to have co-produced and mixed some of the classics of the drum and bass scene, including Subway with Ed Rush, Sonar with DJ Trace, appearing as guest producer alongside Optical on Grooveriders seminal Prototype Years album, as well as having enjoyed enormous success with many of his own tracks including the mighty Thunder, Imagination and Can’t Punish Me. The late John Peel a longtime fan, also approached Dom to commission a piece of work although sadly this dream was never realised.
Over the years Dom & Roland releases have been commissioned for several Playstation games and licensed to television in various countries including the BBC and Channel 4 in England. More recently Dom has continued his passion for pushing the boundaries of music technology, contributing from a producer’s standpoint, by being an advisor to various music software companies, including Native Instruments and Focusrite, taking studio tools to the next generation.
In his latest album No Strings Attached, in addition to his latest solo work, Dom has teamed up with the current crop of big name producers to release a 12 track album, featuring collaborations with Amon Tobin of Ninja records, the trendy Dutch super producers Noisia, Violence label owner Hive, Audio, and last but by no means least Rob Playford, Dom’s old label boss, now close friend, also known as the co-producer and engineer of Goldie’s legendary timeless album. Doms latest album is one of his finest works to date and is due for release in November on all formats including a five part vinyl edition.
* Roland is not a person. Roland is the digital sampler made by Roland that Dom used to compose with!

Thankful ,
Thankful for the little things that iont notice everyday
I'm grateful for it
Good & bad I'm thankful that I got to see both sides stories & I endured em the both
Ups & downs like elevator doors
Hope mines don't close on me 'for I reach my floor
Back against the ropes I'm moving like boots ennis or Floyd
It's hard avoiding puches when they come in bunches
Hear the thunder coming aint no running youngin go get under
Go thru it
Go do it for yourself & go to it
Protocol you show ya dawg jus how to move if he losing & you winning
See the difference when you got it they gon pop it like they rocking they not
Don't buy it
Felt the flame they took his baby boy his heart done lit on fire he hot
They buying switchys inna trenches you ain't safe with that Glock..
And 1 be taking his time
Knowing that it's gon get better than thiss in time
Hoping that i never gotta question my dawg love
My heart played both sides on me tuff love
Thankful for the way it was when I was young
Knowing that it's gon get better in time
Im knowing that it's gon get better in time
I hope..
The bro's don't take personal that I'm antisocial
I hope!
My dawg meant good by what he did & his intentions was pure
I hope!
I won't
Won't changed based of wealth because I'm still the same person
I treat Money like my brudda we done wore the same clothes
C'mon
Don't talk to me bout loyalty I had ya back before mines
She said she wait a couple nights before she drop em ,she lied
She know that tk1 a diamond ,she ain't wasting her time
They usually hate you when you got it they rather see you without it
