Biography:

Developing a love for music through London’s pirate radio waves and the energy of the city’s rave scene, FD’s journey has always been one driven by feeling. Those early days spent recording mix tapes and chasing the emotion of certain records naturally led towards DJing and soon after the need to create his own music followed.

Rooted in honesty and expression, FD’s work reflects a constant search for balance: simple yet remarkable, distinctive yet accessible. His music draws from a deep well of influences, from soul, jazz and hip hop to the moments in drum & bass history that inspire him. Always looking to distil ideas down to their purest form, he aims to create pieces that resonate in the club and beyond, to stand the test of time as art.

As a DJ, FD’s sets are journeys built from a long-standing love and understanding of the music, showcasing the full spectrum of drum & bass, in all it’s depth, emotion and versatility, revealing how its tempo can carry a world of ideas and influences. Having played at some of the scene’s most respected clubs and festivals around the world, he continues to represent his own vision and belief in what makes this music truly special.

Belfast-born Dominick Martin has spent the last 30 years simply creating. He’s done so with a sort of restrained melancholy that’s broad enough to encompass a myriad of tempos and genres. Over 22 albums, this includes his more song-based experimental LPs, from drum & bass into dub, techno, house, ambient, jazz, soul, blues and folk.

The same can be said of his award winning DJ sets: Fluent within his own vast range, favouring the bookings where space and time allow him to draw out a narrative and provoke emotions, predominantly based on his own material. Calibre sets draw from his own personal spectrum, never resort to hype tactics and are perennially sprung with never-before-heard surprises. Whether you experience him taking over a room for the full 6+ hour trip, or he plays a shorter higher impact role on a bigger bill, his singular signature persists: a soulfully honest sense of the transcendental and a unique perspective and approach.
