Dom Sweeten is nothing less of a household name in the hard dance scene. With his various aliases he seems to have a firm lock on most record boxes this side of the solar system.
Under the names, Defective Audio, OD404, Base Graffiti, Tomcat, El Durangoz, DSP and the newly formed Freeflow45 he shows a true talent for production and studio trickery.

Over the years he has built himself up to be a well respected remixer, producer and live artist in the dance music scene. Dom's roots stem from the start of the '90's where he began his musical career blagging small dj sets at obscure outdoor raves and warehouse parties across oxfordshire and the south.
A year into the rave explosion he discovered the utter joy of hooking up a TB303 to a TR909 drum machine and away he went. A couple of years were spent gigging in and around Oxford with some friends while attending many of the illegal parties and raves all over the UK. In 1994 he hooked up with Superfast Oz at a beach party in Brighton, moved down and together they enjoyed an eventful residency at Energized, a Techno Trance night at Brighton's Warehouse Club.
Dom and Oz continued to work together at Brighton's beach parties until Dom left the UK shores with his soon to be wife Simone to spend nearly a year dj'ing in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. Here he ditched all street cred and pleased the Minos Bar's crowds with cheesy house and club tunes whilst necking free shots of whatever he was passed. Having saved a huge wedge of cash, Dom and Simone then swiftly fled the island on a long boat to some other Greek islands before returning to Brighton.

Then it was back to business....
Dom quickly got things moving with Kaktai Records along with Oz and together they began their onslaught of the then named hard house and trance scene.
Remixes flew in and an impressive discography grew along with huge respect from established dj's and labels. Strong support from the Trade dj's and Judge Jules helped to quickly push the Kaktai and OD404 names into the limelight.
The studio trickery Dom possesses has evolved greatly over the years along with his roots in the UK dance scene, Defective Audio and Base Graffiti continue to show he has what it takes to wow a hard crowd while his newly formed El Durangoz takes care of the techy side of things.
Andy Farley quickly took on two slamming techno edged babies for his Blue Cubed imprint while Dom's own Spinball Records renamed a release to showcase this slower grooved influence as well.
Dom has also been working on some breaks under the guise of Freeflow45, which he has been getting interest from some top names in the breaks scene. Radio plays from Annie Nightingale and some recent signings to iBreaks look to be the start of something big.

Check out some of Dom's fresh breaks in the Projects section and you will see he has definitely not lost his funky side. Slower house and even electro is never far away with Dom either; he also has a hand in Delux Grooves, a new offshoot of one of Chris Hampshire’s labels at Recoverworld.
This newly formed imprint will be taking care of disco edged and vocal house tracks, while the Recover label is also set to start up again with some slick new trance tunes from Dom's Tomcat alias.
