Dom Dolla

Australian DJ and producer Dom Dolla brings a sense of carefree excitement and fun to his bouncy house tracks, finding a middle ground between hypnotic house rhythms and melodic pop hooks. After scoring Australian club hits for several years, his 2018 single "Take It" became an international smash and introduced Dolla's sound to millions of new listeners. From there, he continued to expand his audience and his sound with hits like 2019's platinum-certified, ARIA Award-winning "San Frandisco" and 2022's Clementine Douglas-assisted "Miracle Maker." 2023 brought three of his biggest hits to date: the ARIA-winning MK collaboration "Rhyme Dust," the Nelly Furtado-featuring "Eat Your Man," and "Saving Up."Dom Dolla was born Dominic Matheson in 1992. Inspired by dance acts like Basement Jaxx, he began to DJ at pubs and parties while working in graphic design. The Melbourne-based DJ signed on with the Sweat It Out label in 2015 and started to gain widespread acclaim for his singles, remixes, and live sets. His production on Go Freek's 2015 song "Define" helped it become a club hit, and early tracks of his own like "You" and "Love Like This" gained traction in EDM circles. "You" even generated a set of remixes in 2016. In 2017, Dolla released the joyous single "Be Randy," a collaboration with fellow producer Torren Foot. The song climbed the Australian charts and he followed that success with 2018's "Take It." In addition to playing festivals and smaller parties, Dolla continued to produce strong singles and remixes. His 2019 track "San Frandisco" continued the fun and lively house sound he'd established on earlier hits. As his original track reached more listeners, Dolla was commissioned to do remix work for Hayden James, Dua Lipa, Rufus Du Sol, and many others. He also took his live performances to increasingly larger stages, doing sets at Coachella and other international festivals. In 2020, Dolla teamed with Sonny Fodera for the gruff hooks and hard-edged house rhythms of the song "Moving Blind." The track quickly accumulated millions in streaming numbers. Also that year, he took home the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release for "San Frandisco." Over the next few years, more songs materialized in the form of "Pump the Brakes" and "Strangers" (which featured vocals from Mansionair) in 2021 and the anthemic "Miracle Maker" in 2022, with scene-stealing hooks provided by Clementine Douglas. "Rhyme Dust," a Q-Tip-sampling collaboration with MK, appeared in February 2023 and reached viral status, charting in several countries and eventually winning the ARIA award for Best Dance/Electronic Release. In June 2023, he released the single "Eat Your Man" featuring Nelly Furtado. It became one of several Dolla tracks to top the ARIA Club Chart, and also received ARIA award nominations. "Saving Up," another disco-infused club hit, appeared in October. Dolla received a Grammy nomination for his remix of the Gorillaz song "New Gold."
