Biography
Alexander McQueen, Prada, Cartier, Kate Moss, Massive Attack, and Björk; On first glance, it appears to be a veritable list of fashion and music’s glitterati, but this is nothing more than the list of clients that über-DJ, Dom T, can be found regularly spinning tracks for, at aftershow parties and private soirées.
From forming the legendary 2 Bad Crew at the start of the Eighties, in his home town of Bristol, Dom T has stayed at the forefront of the ever changing global music scene.
In 1990, with a residency at London’s renowned Wag Club under his belt, Dom took his DJ styles to LA. Immediately converted to the fresh sounding underground House movement, a two year sabbatical from London life was taken; which quickly led to residencies at pivotal clubs, Black and Blue, The Orbit and Sunday Love.
Never one to stay still for too long, Dom dragged himself away from the glamorous LA nightlife and ground breaking So-Cal music events that he, along with many of the world’s DJ’ing elite, was a customary part of and returned to London, where his foundations in dance music led to him re-mixing and producing alongside the likes of Nellee Hooper, Marius De Vries and Andy Wright.
Combining his love for all that is cutting edge and interesting with his vast experience in music technology, Dom assisted on the production of acts ranging from Simply Red, through to Madonna and remixed a myriad of stylistic pioneers, including Massive Attack, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and De La Soul.
Whilst building an impressive list of production and remix credits, Dom was still heavily involved in the rapidly expanding West End London club scene, where he was resident at clubs such as Emporium, Hanover Grand, Iceni, Café de Paris, Home, Ministry of Sound, Subterania and Attica, at the height of their popularity.
Invariably Music goes hand in hand with Film and this has been a natural for Dom and something that has come to feature heavily in his work. Through his close working relationship with celebrated producer Nellee Hooper, who is also his publisher, Dom has worked on the scores for soundtracks such as ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘New Avengers’ and ‘The Big Tease’ plus the Philip Treacey documentary 'Fresh' commissioned by LWT of which he was the Musical Director.
He has also been behind the unique soundtracks heard at some of the largest shows in the global fashion calendar including recent shows for Givenchy, Julian McDonald, Michiko Koshino and Fendi. Seamlessly mixing and editing classics and obscu re gems into a set that builds around the show itself a nd which always hits the spot perfectly, for both the designers and their audience.
Nowadays, you can still find Dom T regularly entertaining the masses. Not one to court publicity he remains hugely respected by his peers. His DJ sets encompass London’s hippest clubs - including residencies at, Raffles, Rockstar @ Boujis and the infamous Wednesdays at China White.
From masterminding the celebrated atmosphere at these nights, Dom was headhunted in 2006 by the Cuckoo Club, where he is currently the main resident. Their ethos was to create a unique blend of upfront dance and rock hybrids and knew that he was the only man for the job. To this day, the Cuckoo remains the most popular and influential club for London and international A-Listers, for its music and atmosphere, both of which are fully orchestrated by Dom.
An international all-rounder with a wealth of experience, Dom T’s name is synonymous with style, quality and - most importantly to all the industries he has worked within - passion. From creating new sounds to complementing current concepts, there is no doubt that Dom T will be around for years to come.
