OMNOM Says I’m “By Myself” Featuring XKYLAR
Born and raised in LA, OMNOM is a house music producer with an insatiable appetite for experimentation; known for chomping up underground and crossover influences with his idiosyncratic yet crowd-pleasing sensibilities. He returns to Insomniac Records with his solo offering, “By Myself,” featuring singer/songwriter, producer, and creative director XKYLAR.
“By Myself” is a hefty house track with a vocal lead that oozes confidence, turning down flirtatious advances in order to soak up the vibe on the dancefloor all alone. Meanwhile, a dark and rumbling groove navigates around whirring tones, swirling bleeps, hissing hats, and brain-scrambling sub-bass snarls. The single will be paired with an official music video featuring XKYLAR, as well as including a cameo from OMNOM himself, and coincides with a dedicated tour branded as “By Myself.”
“By Myself” has received heavy live support from superstars, including Dom Dolla and John Summit. It follows OMNOM’s critically acclaimed ‘The Unexplained’ EP via his collaborative HYPERBEAM project alongside Odd Mob, which drew radio support from Sirius XM, Kiss FM UK, SLAM!, and Triple J.
MORE ABOUT OMNOM
Individuality is OMNOM’s calling card. It’s precisely what prompts him to operate not just off house music’s beaten path, but so deeply within his own lane that he evades comparison and predictability. In his inability to be pinned down lies OMNOM’s power. And since 2018, he’s channeled it to steadily chart his course to a distinction coveted by many in dance/electronic circles but ultimately claimed by few: household name.
Following his breakout hit, “Fo Free” (Dirtybird Records, 2018), the enigmatic producer has increasingly carved his niche in the house scene with a clear sense of mystique. This involves not just toeing the line between the underground and the mainstream but hopping, skipping, and jumping around it. It’s a matter not only of skill, but also of fluidity and agility. The result? Left-of-center, bass-fueled house maximalism.
With a penchant for blurring the lines between house music, offshoots like bass house, and other genres entirely while being unabashedly “loud and subby,” OMNOM is synonymous with a divergent style of house music that abides neither by trend nor expectation. As he’s stoked the already-hot house market, the tastemaker, born and raised in Los Angeles, has earned the support of industry fixtures, like Dom Dolla, John Summit, Chris Lorenzo, FISHER, Walker & Royce, and Malaa. These nods are flanked by a strong resume of releases on highly-regarded dance/electronic labels, including Experts Only, Insomniac Records, Thrive Music, Confession, and Dirtybird Records.
A tide of Beatport No.1s has ensued, including OMNOM’s standout collaboration with Odd Mob, “Losing Control” (Experts Only, 2023). In addition to commanding the club circuit, the single rocketed to the top of the Beatport Top 100 chart and concurrently debuted on Billboard’s Hot/Dance Electronic chart. “Losing Control” has since tallied more than 14 million streams, suggesting that OMNOM and Odd Mob — the minds behind HYPERBEAM, their freshly-formed joint project sure to shake up the dance/electronic space — aren’t just in control, but are bonafide house authorities. HYPERBEAM’s debut EP ‘The Unexplained’ landed in April 2024 via Insomniac Records, just ahead of OMNOM and Odd Mob’s live premiere as HYPERBEAM at EDC Las Vegas 2024.
