Dornik Delivers Cyclical, Cosmic Funk with New Single “On My Mind”
Jessie Ware’s drummer steps toward center stage.
With a cosmic funk feel that recalls the software-heavy sound of mid-‘00s era Neptunes productions and a voice that deserves its Michael Jackson comparisons, Jessie Ware drummer Dornik is back with his third single, “On My Mind.” Caught in the crosshairs between digital glisten and fuzz, it builds its groove off of a never-quite-resolving three bar figure, getting the listener hooked with its cyclical repetition. With just the right amount of reverb coating its swaggering bass line and space disco flourishes, “On My Mind” evokes the blur of the weekend’s dancefloor—just in time, on this Tuesday afternoon. Check it out below, and head to his Soundcloud to revisit his previous, consistently solid singles, and check out the video for “Something About You” here.
