Maker initially met Kai Campos at
London South Bank University, where he was studying film. Their debut album was released in 2010 and since signing to
Warp in 2012 they have released a total of three albums. After moving to
Los Angeles in 2017, he began to work more closely with Blake, co-producing and co-writing a number of tracks on his album
Assume Form (2019). Through this he worked with Jay-Z on "MaNyfaCedGod". 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." and in May of that year, he produced
Slowthai's single "Bodybag". Maker collaborated on the tracks "
Feel Away", "Focus" and "Push" from Slowthai's UK number one album,
Tyron. Following an interview with
Highsnobiety, the "Feel Away" collaboration was described by Maker as an “instinctive piece of music," going on to discuss how the track came to fruition. “You know who would be sick on this?” Ty suggested. “James—James should sing on it.” Maker sent the track to Blake, who was in New York at the time, and received his contribution a day later, with additional vocals and piano. In 2021, Maker contributed to the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning short film
Two Distant Strangers, co-producing the closing track "Two Distant Strangers," which features
Joey Badass. Maker, along with James Blake, co-produced the unreleased
Travis Scott and
Westside Gunn track that was premiered at the Cactus Jack Dior Summer 2022 fashion show in Paris. In November 2021, Maker received a Grammy nomination for his co-production work on James Blake's track 'Before.' The song was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording. In July 2022 Dom remixed the title track from
Flume’s 2022 album 'Palaces,' for which he brought
Zelooperz for a new remix feature alongside the existing guest appearance from
Gorillaz and Blur's
Damon Albarn. September 2022 saw Dom announce the first full-length
Mount Kimbie release since 2017's Love What Survives. His half of the double album, entitled ‘Die Cuts,' will release along with the full project in November 2022. Maker preluded the release of the album with a double-sided single release, with ‘A Deities Encore’ featuring
Liv.e and ‘In Your Eyes’ featuring
Slowthai and
Danny Brown. == References ==
