Over the past ten years, the mononym “Doss” has come to represent something increasingly rare in the world of dance music: not just a sound, but an ethos, a tension—a collage of disparate moods coalescing around a single idea. From her 2014 self-titled debut to her 2021 EP, 4 New Hit Songs, the cult-favorite producer, vocalist, and DJ has worked with everything from manic drum patterns and vocal contortions to blustery ambient and shoegaze. At once far-reaching and conceptually unified, Doss’ artistic practice is best captured by her gnomic slogan: “It’s the music.” Don’t worry too much about trying to box it in.
