Mocky

Performer, producer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Dominic "Mocky" Salole came to prominence in the Berlin electronic scene of the mid 2000s, releasing three acclaimed solo albums, co-writing and producing classics like Jamie Lidell's Multiply and Feist's The Reminder and making waves on stage with close collaborators (and fellow Canadians) Peaches, Feist and Chilly Gonzales. In 2009, his music took a jazz-inflected turn to the acoustic with the release of Saskamodie, a critics' favourite, Saskamodie was described by Pitchfork as "an exceptionally musical album - there's no other word for it that could fail to seduce only the hardest of hearing, or the hardest of hearts."

In 2011, after work in Big Sur on Feist's Metals, Mocky relocated to Los Angeles, where he quickly established himself as a co-writer with uncommon credentials and eccentric working methods collaborating with L.A.’s brightest breakthrough artists like Kelela, Joey Dosik, Vulfpeck or Moses Sumney. Whilst in L.A. songs he has written have been sung by Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott and many more and he has collaborated with artists as diverse as Mali’s Bassekou Kouyate and the GZA. His monthly rooftops gigs at the ACE Hotel breathed new life into the LA live scene and Mocky channeled those new creative energies into his fifth full length album Key Change and four digital mixtapes/EPs The Moxtapes Vol. I-IV. After co-producing and co-writing Feist's Pleasure, Kelela's Take Me Apart and Joey Dosik's Inside Voice, in 2018 Mocky will release two new albums: Music Save Me (One More Time) - a collection of the best of Japan-only/unreleased gems and favorites from his so far digital only Moxtapes series and A Day At United, an instrumental jazz album, recorded in a single day in the legendary LA recording studio United Recording, featuring an incredible cast of LA's finest left of center jazz and funk musicians.
