PORTSMOUTH & SOUTHSEA'S No.1 for ARTS, CULTURE & LIFESTYLE

New Material From Rex Domino

Fresh from his collaboration with DJ Yoda Presents Breakfast of Champions Portsmouth’s Rex Domino has released Sam’s Spoon which is the first track from his new solo EP “God’s Teeth”.

The EP embodies a kind of dance-able melancholy that creates something original and exciting as well as a notion of ‘Optimistic Defeatism’, as he himself describes it.

For the EP, Rex collaborated with producers Jitter Jazz’s Polar Kid and Stanky. The three were brought together quite randomly by the perhaps unlikely but actually very fitting figure of Scroobius Pip, who mentioned Rex’s work with DJ Yoda on his world-renowned podcast. With the two producers based respectively in Norway and in Reading, this was a collaboration based on mutual admiration and WeTransfer. The results are of the dark lo-fi electronic kind. Influences of Burial, Aphex Twin and Flying Lotus could be sited alongside that of Micachu and Roots Manuva. Collaboratively they create cinematic nocturnal soundscapes ideal for Rex’s dismal stories.

The EP is due for full release on on 26th May via Moosehead International Airport and Believe Digital. You can check out the first release just below and hopefully you’ll love it as much as I do.
