Dom Barton aka LVQR first got behind the decks in 96/97 playing with his brothers flat mates 'Hard House' and 'Speed Garage', the energy and emotion of this music left a huge impression on his young mind. By the age of 13 he'd found true love in the form of 'Big-Beat', genre-defying party music, popularised by the likes of 'Damien Harris' and 'Norman Cook.' This love stuck with him through school where he carted his decks, sound system and vinyl to every party and played the whole night through. These parties led to his first collaboration with Percussionist and DJ Chris Watkins-Pitchford of the 'Carnival Collective.' DJing as a duo opened up endless possibilities and Doms DJing undoubtedly picked up a notch or seven with the help of Chris' intensely rythmical mind.

2004 saw a change in location and direction, now old enough to enjoy the delights of club life, Dom had submerged himself in every scene available in new home Nottingham. Promoting events around the city he was able to see world class DJs almost every night, but it was at the new club Stealth with its banging Funktion-1 soundsystem that he found his new love, Breakbeat. The Genre did the same stuff for Dom that Big-Beat had done before its sad demise, but with bloody big bells on.

2005 heralded another change in both location and direction. Hooking up with an old friend and fellow DJ 'The Roadie' the pair ran a visual rig in Brighton. A Weekly event 'SWIM' held at Audio by ex-Wailer Johnny Reggae's record label 'CatSkills' saw the duo cutting visuals for John Kennedy, Gilles Peterson, Mark Rae, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Kidda and Groove Armada amongst others. The rig was also taken to the legendary Zap Club where the duo stomped out visuals for acts such as Grand Wizard Theodore, MR C, True Players, The Scratch Perverts and many others.

Late 2006 brought more old friends together with Jay White inviting Dom down to his cosy country studio where they regularly mixed through night and day. It was in this environment that Dom made the hesitant transition to CD jockey and Breaks started to take a back seat with Tech and Prog House being order of the day. The new duo took their new stripped-back sound out to play and loved it.

Something was not quite right though. Artists like Jesse Rose, Claude VonStroke, Switch and Trevor Loveys and labels such as DirtyBird, Dub-Sided and Cheap Thrills were releasing music that tugged at Doms Big-Beat rooted heart strings. His true love had come wobbling back to him with added attitude, bass, and wonk.
