"One of my aliases from the 90’s was Darkmaster. That part of me now makes a comeback. This new EP has a repress of one of the sought after tracks from the Darkmaster single, an unreleased amen version of my first ever Dom & Roland track on Moving Shadow… “The Planets”, plus a remix of “Intastella Jazz” with a way heavier bassline than the original. To top it off, one of my favourite tracks to ever grace a dubplate “The Way You Feel” has finally made it onto a piece of vinyl." More

Dom & Roland was amongst the first to help Over/Shadow kick into gear back in 2020 and, since returning with another 12" last year, a collaboration with long absent legend DJ Crystl, now comes a fully-fledged album. Those following matters closely on the Over/Shadow site will have had the chance to nab a copy of the album with this bonus 12", but for the rest of us, the double-drop of 'Eminence' and 'Time To Change' is now available as a standalone 12". It's brooding and dramatic, offering a cinematic vision of what d&b can be in the right hands, and who better than a seasoned pro like Dominic Angas? More

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.

Lost in the Moment is Doms 7th Album. In his own words "I wanted to make an album that gets back to the core of the elements I love about drum and bass. The timelessness of simple tracks! A sense of being lost in the subtlety of evolving soundscapes, rhythms and loops which hint at more complex detail and emotions. These are the things I find harder to find in this era of instant gratification and easily consumable music."
Dom's previous album Last refuge of a Scoundrel was signed to Metalheadz in 2016. It sold out on its first day. Mixmag gave it 10/10 and named it album of the year. It was runner up in DJ Magazines "Best of British" category across all genres.

Mando is one of Doms closest friends. He has been writing music for over 25 years. A gardener by day, he shuns the limelight and has always maintained writing music is his secret hobby! He had a studio in the room next to No-U-Turn in the 90s which was eventually taken over by Optical and Edrush.
Until fairly recently he never released anything! He has an amazing ability to create sick grooves, his style is raw and refreshing and not over produced like a lot of modern music. If i had to pigeonhole his style I would say 90s neurofunk.

Both these tracks play to his strengths. This is his first release on vinyl, so will become collectable!
