d’Orkest releases the second single, “Kill the Fire”, from their highly anticipated album DOMINI.

DOMINI is an electronic album project by d’Okest, deliberately distinct from the traditional sound the band is known for. While d’Orkest usually operates as a live ensemble, DOMINI explores a different musical space: electronic, raw, and experimental.

The album was developed over two years and recorded in Paramaribo, Amsterdam, and Kourou. Most of the music was created between shows and live recording sessions, as part of a creative experiment, capturing ideas quickly and intuitively. The majority of tracks on DOMINI were recorded in one take, giving the album a direct and unpolished energy.

The masterminds behind DOMINI are Jamey Reso (d’Orkest) and Andriano Smalls (DJ and producer).

The album features the nr 1 hit track “Fade To Black”, which encapsulates the experimental and electronic essence of DOMINI.

DOMINI is set for release by the end of August, 2026. Work has already begun on a second DOMINI album, further developing the project’s vision.

A musical ode to transience, loss and the light in the dark.

The acclaimed Surinamese music group d’Orkest returns with an intense and poetic new single: “Fade to Black.” This compelling song immerses the listener in a sonic journey through themes of farewell, memory and transformation.

With their characteristic mix of soul, ambient and alternative grooves, d’Orkest once again delivers a deeply felt work that touches the listener on multiple levels. “Fade to Black” is not just a song — it is a transitional moment, a musical threshold between light and darkness.

About the single
“Fade to Black” is about what we leave behind when the curtain falls — and about the echoes that linger. The song is minimalist in construction, with subtle electronics, whispering instrumentation and a voice that sounds like a memory.

Get ready to rock! d’Orkest is thrilled to announce that we will be kicking off our live performances starting October 5, 2024. Join us for an unforgettable series of shows filled with high energy, your favorite hits, and some exciting new tunes.
