Jaime Rosso announces signing to Domino
Releases debut single + video “Away”
Domino is excited to announce the signing of Margate-based electronic artist and producer Jaime Rosso. Jaime makes music that is experimental and groove-heavy, rooted in his love of UK soundsystem culture. He’s supported the likes of Eris Drew, Marshall Jefferson and Awesome Tapes From Africa, already cementing himself as an artist to watch on the UK dance scene.
Today he releases his debut single “Away”. A buoyant house tune, introspective yet joyfully melodic, the track was inspired by his move from rural Kent to university in London. It’s a meditation on change: the anticipation, elation, fear and hope that comes from a new chapter.
“Away” arrives alongside a beautiful video inspired by the oddball eccentricities of the Thanet coastline, evoking the technicolour world-building of early 2000s music videos. Directed by and starring Jaime, it depicts his journey of self-discovery as he flies the nest, literally.
“I made “Away” to capture the fleeting, unexpected moments of connection that can happen in times of upheaval and loss,” says Jaime. “The occasions when places, people, or creations give a little respite from the hostility of the outside world. The video is a translation of one of those moments. Filmed with DoP Chester Briscall Harvey, it chronicles a journey across Thanet through the blossoming of an unlikely friendship.”

One of the founding members of Social Records Society, the collective that puts on regular vinyl-only nights at venues such as Café 1001, Corsica Studios and The Carpet Shop, Jaime has also recently released a psychedelic acid remix of Katy J Pearson’s “Save Me” and completed a Balamii residency.
Jaime’s music blurs nostalgia, his clubland influences and his own voice through a sample-heavy, psychedelic lens. Reflective of his playful disposition, it’s the kind of left-field pop that’s instantly memorable, always keeping one foot on the dancefloor. Watch this space for more new music soon.
