I probably say this every other month, but I don't go out as much as I used to. This is why I rely on Strglcty, an Ancient Puzzle Arts resident / regular / VIP, to tell me what's the latest to check out in the city. I usually trust his taste as he knows how to find the right vibe. He told me to check out DJ Dommis. I've seen his name on flyers at the Trestle Inn, so immediately I knew he had a deep knowledge of vinyl. I checked out his soundcloud and kept him in mind for future parties. Then, in January of 2025, he showed up to support Lola Kinks at Upstairs at the 700. The combination of talent and supporting the local scene made me want to prioritize booking him sooner rather than later.
We finally booked him for our past May 2025 Ancient Puzzle Arts at Upstairs at the 700, and wow did he deliver. I can tell DJ Dommis used this opportunity to explore his deep record collection and eclecticism. Please enjoy this month's Ancient Puzzle Arts podcast, which features a live recording of DJ Dommis rocking the decks at Upstairs at the 700. Expect deep grooves, unique rhythms, and unexpected surprise bangers. All vinyl! Let's keep this summer hot!
