Dom O’Hara - The Next Level EP

———

UK based producer and Kazoku resident Dom O’Hara provides us with our sixth Bandcamp release.

Dom’s debut release takes the listener through a journey of emotions, with four unique takes on his interpretation of electronic music. Consisting of a prime cut floor filler for the A1, a stripped back dubby cruiser on the A2 and two deep, rolling tech house/break beat infused sounds for flip side.

We are truly delighted to be able to showcase Dom’s signature sound that we are certain people will come to know and love over the course of the next few years.

Dom O'Hara - The Next Level EP [SBT006]

His mind wandered from time to time. From this to that and back again.

His perceptions danced atop a fragile sense of perspective, he wondered if he might ever regain the right to reality. For every thought was a maze, a whirlwind in which to become lost in the fog of the morning.

Whether he could be trusted was another thing.

There wasn't much else for it but to try.

Slump Recordings continues to grow from strength to strength. Now a prominent force in a new wave of House music with progressive, deep rooted sensibilities. There's plenty of fun to be found on this one from SY but this slightly deeper cut was what caught our ear.

Shoutout to all the mothers out there—thank you for the gift of creativity and life.

No matter the circumstances, a mother is the foundation, the heartbeat, and the force that holds the HOUSE down.

Four no-nonsense, dubbed out cuts from joint label owners Brennan & Ferg. Carrying forward the same flavour from the debut dubble release, with added character and flair, there's something for everyone in this EP.

aMo (um) presents Just Jazz EP — a five-track excursion that blurs the lines between groove, experimentation, and floor-focused precision. It’s not a single lane, but a set of parallel journeys designed for selectors who like to shift moods without losing direction.

Just Jazz opens with a house-driven cut with warm swing and fluid motion. Don’t Speak raises tension with a builder’s mindset, laying foundations for the perfect mix transition. Good Morning leans into the afterglow — hazy textures and dreamlike momentum for that “other dimension” vibe. Snatch snaps things back with a dense, kinetic framework — a restless piece of energy architecture. Wompa closes the cycle in tripped-out mode, its low-end pull and atmospheric layering creating a wide, hypnotic space. A release crafted for DJs who prefer storytelling over straight lines.
