Dominic Maker is an English record producer and songwriter from Brighton. He is best known as one half of the duo Mount Kimbie and for his production work for artists such as James Blake, Rosalía and Jay-Z.[1] Dom Maker initially met Kai Campos at Southbank uni where he was studying film.[2] Their debut album was released in 2010[3] and since signing to Warp in 2012 they have released a further two albums.[4]
After moving to L.A in 2017 he began to work more closely with James Blake, co-producing and co-writing a number of tracks on the album Assume Form.[5] Through this he worked with Jay-Z on MaNyfaCedGod.[1]
He professes to not listening to much music outside work but has often been forced to in his new role as a producer for research purposes stating: "I don’t know that world very well, so I need to become more familiar with the things that are going on and the techniques people use...It does feel a little bit like research. Another project for James and I, we’re working with this guy Swavay, who’s a really great rapper from Atlanta."[1]
In 2020 he was announced as co-producer for James Blake's new single 'You're Too Precious'[6] and in May he was announced as the producer of Slowthai's single Bodybag.[7] Along with artists like Erick The Architect from Flatbush Zombies,[8] he also co-produced James Blake's latest release, Before (EP). Lastly, together with James Blake he produced Starrah's single Keep Calm which was released on 23 October 2020.[9]
