Taken at face value, ‘The Roll EP’ is a peak time club techno release, developed for those intense workout moments clubbers punters pay good money to experience. However, it also featuring cross genre remixes to suit a wide range of tastes and DJ technical styles.
In the previous six years, the producer, Diarmaid O Meara – DOM1, has released over a hundred tracks, three albums, has had over a dozen vinyl releases, holds current residencies in Berlins infamous RAW Temple, and also owns a cornerstone Techno label and club-night, Gobsmacked. ‘The Roll EP’ comes as his first major release in 2014… and will be followed up by multiple vinyl and digital releases on various worldwide labels. Most notably on Portugal’s Naked Lunch, Germany’s Nachtstrom Schallplatten, and Starkstrom Schallplatten , Austria’s Elmart Rec, Chicago based ‘Slap Jaxx’ and his own ‘Gobsmacked’ label.
Diarmaid’s weekly international gig schedule gives the opportunity to test and develop releases on the fly, especially as elements of his own three turntable performances – where his own productions make up a prominent third to half of his Dj sets. The original Roll track was originally developed and refined as a tool for his sets, then redeveloped into a releasable track over a number of years. As a result of this long development, the track has already been experienced and danced to by tens of thousands of avid techno fans across Europe, whilst also receiving notable support on the circuit.
The EP remixers include the prominent and highly acclaimed Ortin Cam (I Love Techno, Belgium) and Patrick DSP (Kne’Deep, Djax it Up, Canada). They join the award-winning production heavyweight from Kosovo, Vegim, and the Clutch Trax label owners, Danny Smith, and Clutch Slip vs Soundset.
