We Speak R&B
Notorious B.I.G. producer and co-writer’s new project Short Wave Craft drop modern trip-hop anthem!
Short Wave Craft is a joint collaboration between legendary producer Dominic Owen (Biggie Smalls, Rakim, Seal, Anthony Hamilton, Lil Kim) and underground musician, Tom Carr.
The duo offers clear undertones of soulful R’n’B and Dream pop in their work and after a successful previous single and debut EP are ready to drop ‘I Need You Tonight’ a modern trip hop anthem to strengthen the resolve of mankind after the recent battering of the last few millennia. The duo explains, “It began at the height of lockdown. The song itself and its overriding melodies, are an anthemic cry out for human connection, in times of separation. We were inspired by the idea of infusing traditional trip-hop elements with sprinkles of soul, gospel, and blues.”
Despite the initial inspiration for the track, it has an absolutely positive direction, and the duo go on to explain, “We purposely developed it around continuous movements towards crescendos throughout the music. We wanted it to sound iconic and expansive. There are electronic components, though as always with Short Wave Craft all the main instruments are played live by real musicians. We worked remotely between London and Bristol, sending parts back and forth until the musical narrative was established. After digging up on old blues sample where the man in question calls out ‘I Need You Tonight’ it became immediately clear that this was the marching call that the music needed. We then brought onboard a selection of female vocalists and gospel singers to create a ‘call and response’ platform, complementing his melody line. The fusion of ‘I Need You Tonight’ was complete.”
Short Wave Craft previously got their last single and debut EP ‘Panties & Pickles’ onto some niche YouTube channels that have close to a million subscribers between them and after seeing all the amazing comments in the chat board threads knew they were onto something, and felt inspired to take things to another level in 2023 as they build upon the initial success and reach an even wider audience.
They believe their sound will certainly please fans of artists such as Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Air, St. Germain and the likes of Moby, Groove Armada and Morcheeba.
Their overall sound is unique to them however and is the evolution of the pair’s split time between Bristol & London, where they’re deeply plugged into the independent music scenes in both cities, bringing onboard an eclectic range of artists to contribute to their music. Short Wave Craft is a duo at heart, though with a collective mentality and spirit. The incredible history of one half of the duo Dominic Owen is nothing short of legendary having been in Brooklyn at the height of the golden age of hip hop, where in 1993 his musical home became High Class Productions in Brownsville, Brooklyn where he became head engineer and producer. At this infamous studio many of the 90’s Hip Hop legends like Notorious B.I.G, Rakim, Busta Rhymes, M.O.P. Raekwon and AZ would pass through, as well as future R&B giants Anthony Hamilton and Angie Stone. With this sort of legacy and his new partner in crime Tom Carr, Short Wave Craft are clearly building a new wave of unique trip hop, combined with soul and dream pop that is sure to keep 2023 fully hyped as they prepare to come through with a further EP and full length album.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — FIND YOUR RIMIDI™ is proud to announce The Late Bloomer

about reconnecting with who we are, finding community, and creating space to rest, reflect,
learn, and grow together.”
Throughout the day, attendees will experience live music, intimate performances, creative
conversations, educational masterclasses, wellness experiences, guided reflection, interactive
sessions, and opportunities to connect with artists, entrepreneurs, educators, and community
leaders. The experience has been intentionally designed to balance inspiration with restoration,
recognizing that meaningful creativity requires both expression and rest.
This year’s collaborators include RIMIDI, Aaron Marcus Payne, DJ Raver Teddy, and The
Suited Drummer, with special guest artists including Gino Black, Passion Ward, Melody
Renee, and KNZO. Additional collaborators, community partners, and special guests will be
announced in the coming weeks.The experience is presented in permanent partnership with GEM CULTURE, supporting

artists, collaborators, and community partners, helping expand access across South Florida
while maintaining an intentionally curated experience.
The Late Bloomer Experience represents the current flagship expression of the FIND YOUR
