Full Bio:
Dom Servini is one of the main players and a stalwart of the eclectic music scene in London. Having started DJing in the early ‘90s in Brighton with the legendary Snowboy, he then moved back to London and took it by storm, starting a Sunday afternoon session at the Jazz Cafe, a residency at the Blue Note, and then his own club venture, Mouseorgan, which ran for 8 years. Dom then joined the Wah Wah DJ crew at The Jazz Café, and went on to become part of their record label project in 2001. Releases on Wah Wah 45s have since included artists such as Alison Crockett, Part-Time Heroes, Hardkandy and Stac.
Dom is also a respected music journalist, and was singles editor for jazz bible Straight No Chaser from 2003, and now writes features and reviews for both Shook and Echoes magazines - having his own monthly double-page spread in the latter.
As a radio jock, Dom hosts a weekly Monday night live DAB radio show on Colourful Radio as well as regular on-line shows including samurai.fm, play.fm and milkaudio.com, and has also featured on XFM, BBC London and on Gilles Peterson’s radio shows.
Over the past decade Dom has DJ’d across the globe, from touring Japan, the USA, Canada and Australia, to regular gigs in central and Eastern Europe, as well as Scandinavia, and even Ibiza. UK gigs include his famous weekly residency with Gilles Peterson, ‘Goin’ Downstairs’, and regular gigs at The Jazz Café, Favela Chic, Hayward Gallery, Cargo, The Vibe Bar, Luminaire, Queen Of Hoxton, Big Chill venues and much more!! Last year Dom debuted at The Big Chill Festival and Brick Lane Festival too, and hosted Wah Wah’s 10th Birthday Session at The Scala in London which saw 1000 people attend. His energetic and open-minded mix of anything soulful, be it afro, jazz, house or hip hop, make him a club favourite.
