History[edit]

In 2011, Dome of Doom Records was founded by Wylie Cable. Within the same year,[1] he also released his debut solo album "Water Under The Bridge", under the newly founded label. Dome of Doom Records partnered with Alpha Pup for worldwide digital distribution beginning in 2015.[2]

In 2015, they began to work more closely with Low End Theory resident and co-founder DJ Nobody. Together, they released a reissue of DJ Nobody's first album "Puzzles" from 1996, with a full B-Side of unreleased beats from that same era. The Label went on to release more tapes for Nobody over the coming years like "Prodigal Son".[3]

YUNG by Linafornia was released on January 22, 2016. Linafornia captured the LA Beat Scene's signature sound.[4]

2021 marked the 10 year anniversary of the label and the Decade of Doom compilation was released digitally and on a double LP vinyl. [5]
