Pitchfork - Album Review: 5 to the Eye With Stars

Written By By Stephen Kearse

The cover of R.A.P. Ferreira’s 10th album depicts a vintage car parked on the shore of a psychedelic stream. People, perhaps the owners of the vehicle, float face-up in the water as if taking a break, but the car looks ready to move along. Its headlights beam into the borders of the image as if seeking the unknown. That mix of repose and anticipation captures the spirit of 5 to the Eye With Stars, where Ferreira takes stock of his journey while plotting its next leg. The record doesn’t stray from Ferreira’s core sound of jazzy boom bap, but his candid writing brings out the lucidity and urgency of his music.

He returns to rap today with 5 to the Eye With Stars, a nine-track project with beats from Kenny Segal, Rose Noir, Wylie Cable, and more.

Written By: XLR8R Staff

For over a decade, Wylie Cable and his Dome of Doom label have been something of a beating heart in Los Angeles’ experimental beats community. Last month, he returned with Warmed By The Sun, his ninth album bursting with heavy rhythms and soothing breakdowns. To create it, he leaned on the likes of virtuosic drummer Gene Coye, England’s CLYDE, and Mexico City’s resident lyrical assassin, Speak.

Few musicians embody the idea of raw creative expression better than Wylie Cable. The Los-Angeles based creator has built a long and rich career without ever being boxed in or chasing trends. Known for producing across genres and sounds, it’s hard to pin down exactly what a Wylie Cable track might sound like…but that’s part of the charm. Wylie’s latest body of work Warmed By The Sun embodies this fully across its 21-track offering.

Los Angeles Beat Label Dome of Doom Turns 10 with Anniversary Comp and Party

Written By: Liz Ohanesian

Wylie Cable, the proprietor of Los Angeles-based label Dome of Doom, isn’t sure how Meagan Rodriguez, the Brooklyn-based DJ and producer better known as QRTR, first came to his attention. It could have been Soundcloud or Spotify or some social network. Regardless, when he first messaged her, they were strangers, and Cable had never seen her play. “I was really inspired by her artistic output and reached out to her and said, hey, have you ever thought about working with a label? Have you thought about a full length album?” Cable recalls on a recent phone call. 

That was in 2019. Just last month, QRTR released her second album for Dome of Doom. Her debut full-length, Drenched, was a meditation on depression and mental health that dropped at the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her latest release, Infina Ad Nausea, is a play on the Latin infinitum ad nauseam. “I was trying to describe the sensation of living in a never-ending loop because that’s kind of what it felt like in lockdown,” says Rodriguez. She wrote the album over the course of 2020 and into early 2021. 

Festival Insider - Dome Of Doom: Over A Decade Of Creative Expression

Written By: Colin Vlasak

A decade in electronic music can seem like an eternity. Trends change, artists blow up and burn out, and the scene continues to evolve. Reaching the milestone of ten years for an independent electronic record label is quite the feat. One that Los Angeles-based Dome Of Doom proudly checked off last year. The label which is spearheaded by producer and DJ Wylie Cable has helped champion a myriad of artists that range from Daedelus to DMVU, thook, QRTR, Dabow, Huxley Anne, and Jon Casey.

We chat with Dome of Doom Records founder Wylie Cable about the 10-year-anniversary of his cutting-edge LA-based imprint.

Few American cities have changed the face of modern music like Los Angeles. Known for its earth-shaking hip hop, pioneering punk, and overproduced pop, every genre under the sun has carved out its own little niche in LA, helping these subcultures to go global. 

Passionweiss - A Decade of Doom: Dome of Doom Records Celebrates 10 Years in the LA Beat Scene

Written By: Kevin Crandall

Dome of Doom Records has been a central player in the LA beat scene for the past decade. Now the imprint celebrates with a thirty-track reflection. At the intersection of futuristic Los Angeles beat music and the analog tradition of cassettes sits Wylie Cable, the flame-dreaded multi-instrumentalist and founder of Dome of Doom Records. Born and raised in L.A., Cable grew into his own while watching the flourishing beat scene, sneaking into Low End Theory at 17 to see the likes of Daedelus and Flying Lotus shatter skulls with battle sets. After an undergrad stint at CalArts, Cable founded Dome of Doom Records in 2011, an artist-centric indie label whose hallmark is ethereal beats and a meticulously curated conveyor belt of cassettes.

Bandcamp -  Album of the Day: Wylie Cable, “Shimmer, Then Disappear”

Written By: Christina Lee 

The album notes for Wylie Cable’s eighth album Shimmer, Then Disappear offer a long list of influences—among them, downtempo, drum & bass, IDM, musique concrete, and “808-filled trap.” But it most startling moments are its most straightforward. Near the end, Cable—a producer and the founder of electronic label Dome of Doom—roars: “What if you could change your name? Would you run from your regrets, or would you keep it all the same?” What stands out most on Shimmer is the way Cable considers those kinds of questions in a way that feels true to life.

Wylie Cable is back with Shimmer, Then Disappear, a new album on Dome of Doom.

Shimmer, Then Disappear is Cable’s eighth album, and it features various members of the Dome of Doom family, among them Holly, Dabow, GOD.DAMN.CHAN, Goodnight Cody, and Call Me. Most sessions were completed at Cable’s home studio in the Los Angeles hills using a Roland TR-8 and a JP-08 on loan from Daedelus, and all before the pandemic. Cable began the second phase of the album in March, locking himself in his home studio for a period of weeks, making a new song each day.

XLR8R - Wylie Cable Locks in New Dome of Doom Album 'Lemniscate' LP lands September 20.

Written By: XLR8R STAFF

'Accelerating music & culture for twenty-five years.'

Wylie Cable will release his seventh studio album, Lemniscate, via his own Dome of Doom Records later this month.

We’re told that the music burns with an unabridged intensity, completely different from his last body of work, 2018’s Buried At Sea. Conceptually, the Los Angeles artist found inspiration for the album’s design in his obsession with the concept of infinity and its mathematical entanglement with the spiritual concepts of the afterlife and the infinite nature of reincarnation and past selves.

Unlike all the previous works in his catalog, Cable visualized the concept for Leminscate in one lightning-bolt like experience during a late-night work session. “I was sitting in my house late at night near the end of last year, probably around 3am, just writing and sketching in my notebooks and brainstorming ideas, then suddenly I was hit with this huge flash of inspiration,” he recalls. “The title for the album, the names of the tracks, the collaborators I wanted to be involved, all sort of suddenly fell in my lap in a moment. I frantically wrote it all down on some note cards I had laying around and the process for making the album started.”

Many song names on the album make references to “lemniscate” and the concept of infinity. The album is described as “a reflection on our inevitable death and the cyclical nature of life.”

FUXWITHIT - PREMIERE: Wylie Cable & Gangus Unleash ‘Oculus Non Vidit’

Written By: A. Samuel Lewis

‘Champions of the underground’

An integral component of the movement for experimental bass music, Dome of Doom founder and California-based producer Wylie Cable has remained covertly beyond the reach of the public eye, carefully orchestrating the rise of his label while discreetly polishing a project of his own.

‘Oculus Non Vidit’ abstracts the apex track from Cable’s upcoming debut Lemniscate, working alongside fellow eclectic producer Gangus to synthesize a depth-woven two-minutes that both questions and defies the need for genres altogether.

“Like the keystone in architecture, it’s not often the largest or most ornate piece of the puzzle but it supports and ties together the two sides of the story,” Cable shares regarding his vision for the specific arrangement of the tracklist. “Anyone who’s done a release with Dome of Doom would probably echo that about me, I really think having things in a certain order will serve the music better and help people understand the story and energy behind the music more fully,” - Wylie Cable

TIME Magazine: Tentative and Musically Gifted Cat Playing a Theremin Has Given Us the Song of the Season

BY MELISSA LOCKER

Taylor Swift and Jason Derulo may have contributed songs to the Cats soundtrack, but perhaps the producers should have just had this actual cat score the film.

In a video shared by DJ and record label owner Wylie Cable, a cat can be seen waving its paws in the air while a odd noise emanates from a red box. As the cat moves, the sound shifts and changes, evolving from ethereal arias to scratchy white noise. It all completely bewilders the furry little musician who stands on its hind legs to get a better angle on whatever the heck is happening, only to have the sound change again. Naturally it tries to bite the air, but since there‘s nothing there, the effort is fruitless. The confused cat does not seem to realize it’s playing a theremin—and neither does its feline audience watching the performance in awe.

Bandcamp - The Best Beat Tapes on Bandcamp: September 2018

Written By: Max Bell

‘One of my many aims with this column is to avoid selecting two records in one month that sound similar to one another. For September, I’ve chosen projects that feature thoughtfully crafted, jazz-imbued suites, sample-heavy chops, electronic hip-hop hybrids with lots of low-end, and more.’

“His latest record, Buried at Sea, is his best to date, achieving a cohesion that belies his chaotic schedule. Grounded in the grief that comes with the loss of close kin, Buried at Sea is a eulogy and a valediction that rests at the nexus between bass-heavy electronic music and left-field hip-hop. While those sonic touchstones might suggest an album primed for the club, Buried at Sea is more ruminative than raucous, better suited for headphones than towering speakers. Crafted using instruments (e.g., flutes, electric and upright bass) Cable mostly played himself, the most powerful songs shuttle between emotionally turbulent moments and brighter ones. On “Oh My Night,” for instance, the metallic, coin-shaking jangle finds its counterpoint in cavernous bass. This poignant harmony comes through strongest on songs like “Dog Park,” which comes before the album’s trip-hop coda “The Cave Dweller & The Sea Fairer.” Built around off-kilter percussion and the swirling melody of what sounds like clipped, pitched vocals, “Dog Park” approximates the bittersweet feeling of remembering a happy moment with a departed loved one. Like the rest of Buried at Sea, “Dog Park” aims to buoy the spirits rather than drown them in melancholy.”

XLR8R - Premiere: Hear a Soothing Bass Cut from Wylie Cable ft. Laura Darlington

Written By: XLR8R STAFF

'Accelerating music & culture for twenty-five years.'

'Buried At Sea' will be available on vinyl, cassette, and all digital platforms via Dome of Doom on September 14.

"Wylie Cable will release a new album later this month, titled Buried At Sea.

The 12-track album will arrive via Cable's own Los Angeles-based Dome of Doom, under which he released his debut solo album, Water Under The Bridge, in 2011. Cable recorded the album over the last two years at Dome of Doom's LA headquarters as a way to process the loss of his father, Arthur Cable. The literal meaning behind "Buried At Sea" stems from scattering his father's ashes into the Pacific ocean, per his Dad's last wishes. In the extroverted sense, the album theme is "a meditation on the emotionally complex nature of loss and finding the beauty of life again," the label founder explains."

Though the record is influenced by hip-hop and electronic music and rooted in sample culture compositionally, Cable performed a bulk of the album's elements himself, playing flutes, guitar, electric and standup bass, keys/synths, percussion, and more, with features from the likes of Daedelus, Kenny Segal, and Laura Darlington."
