DOLORRES DROPS DEBUT EP ‘IT'S ALL HAPPENING SOMEWHERE ELSE’ + HEADLINE MELBOURNE SHOW
“The music is exciting and varied, the collabs are mint and the whole project feels ready!” - Declan Byrne (Triple J)
“The vocal production is gorgeous as hell...” - Tommy Faith (Sound Doctrine)
"He's quickly become one to watch.." - ACCLAIM
Likening his music to being trapped in a multicoloured ball pit, DoloRRes blends hip-hop, experimental rock & electronica to create his unique world of whacked-out sound & mind-bending visuals. Today, premiering via Acclaim, DoloRRes shares the new video for his latest single D.T.R and announces his debut EP, It’s All Happening Somewhere Else dropped on Wednesday 11 August.
Born In Rome, DoloRRes currently resides in Melbourne, Australia where he has been writing and producing music since the age of 13. From uploading his work anonymously online to coming up in Melbourne’s bubbling hip-hop scene and working with artists such as Agung Mango and Muka Vhatti, DoloRRes is a force to reckon with.
D.T.R ‘Defining The Relationship’ “is about the conversation everyone eventually undergoes with their partner.” DoloRRes explains “This song is about someone trying to avoid having said conversation by any means necessary, because they are scared that they might not be on the same page, or that they will cause hurt, but of course avoiding this confrontation makes things a lot worse. It’s also a song about toxic masculinity, with this dislikeable character who refuses to express how they feel.”
The EP, featuring D.T.R and previously released single, ‘HEELYS’ is a 6-track compilation that defines the unique sound and imagination of DoloRRes. Showcasing his proficiency as a producer, lyricist and performer, DoloRRes shares “This EP is my first official statement that is actually me; it has been getting refined and perfected for 3 years and has now finally appeared.”
On the title It’s All Happening Somewhere Else, DoloRRes explains, “It always seems like I’m trying to be everywhere at once, trying to feel and do everything, do as much as possible, in less and less time. ONCE I GET IT, THERE’LL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER IT. SO HOW CAN I BE HERE? WHEN IT’S ALL HAPPENING SOMEWHERE ELSE.”
Mixed and mastered by Matt ‘xiro’ Fioravanti (Kwame, Mozaik Records), It’s All Happening Somewhere Else marks the beginning of DoloRRes’ next stage of world domination. Previous releases have received a warm welcome from the likes of ACCLAIM, NME, Milky, Sound Doctrine, RRR and FBi.
No stranger to the stage, DoloRRes joined Agung Mango on tour in support of Genesis Owusu earlier this year and is set to launch his EP with a headline show at The Curtin onSaturday 21 August.
