History
In 2011, Dome of Doom Records was founded by Wylie Cable. Within the same year,[1] he also released his debut solo album "Water Under The Bridge", under the newly founded label. Dome of Doom Records partnered with Alpha Pup for worldwide digital distribution beginning in 2015.[2]
In 2015, they began to work more closely with Low End Theory resident and co-founder DJ Nobody. Together, they released a reissue of DJ Nobody's first album "Puzzles" from 1996, with a B-Side of unreleased beats from that same era. The Label went on to release more tapes for Nobody over the coming years, such as "Prodigal Son".[3]
YUNG by Linafornia was released on January 22, 2016. Linafornia captured the LA Beat Scene's signature sound.[4]
The Dome of Doom has received coverage from media outlets including The Wire,[5] XLR8R,[6] Mixmag,[7] and Dancing Astronaut.[8] The Bandcamp Daily column editor for the "Best Beat Tapes" said in 2021: "The label connects the beat scene that orbited peak Low End Theory and the beat scene that persists in the void left by Low End Theory's dissolution...their roster is unimpeachable and always ahead of the curve."[9]
In 2021, the 10 year anniversary of the label, the Decade of Doom compilation was released digitally and on a double LP vinyl.[10]
