Dom & Roland has been at the forefront of the Drum and Bass electronic music scene for a quarter of a century. 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.

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.

The late John Peel a longtime fan, also approached Dom to commission a piece of work although sadly this dream was never realised.

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.
