Musical artist

Dominick Martin, better known by his stage name Calibre, is a Northern Irish drum and bass music producer and DJ from Belfast. He is highly regarded for his influence on the liquid funk style of drum and bass, which was partially named after his distinct production style. He started producing drum and bass in 1995, with his first signed release in 1998 under the now-defunct Quadraphonic record label. He primarily releases his own works through his personal label, Signature Recordings, but has also released on labels such as Hospital Records, V Recordings, and Soul:R.

According to UKF, none of Martin's productions have been officially remixed by other artists.

Through Quadraphonic, he came to the attention of drum and bass DJ Fabio, who signed Martin to his record label, Creative Source, and released his debut album Musique Concrète (2001), named after the musique concrète compositions of John Cage whom he was influenced by while attending the University of Ulster in Belfast. Although 21 songs were chosen for the final release of the album, 300 songs in total were created by Martin for the album.

Many of his productions–some of which were unreleased at the time–became synonymous with liquid funk due to Fabio playing most of Martin's productions on his BBC Radio 1 show, Liquid Funk, and at Swerve club nights co-ran by LTJ Bukem in the early 2000s. Beginning in 2007, some of these unreleased productions would be released under the "Shelflife" series of albums alongside other works by Martin on his personal record label, Signature Records.

In 2003, Martin was commissioned by Warner Music Group for a remix of "Put That Woman First" from Jaheim's Still Ghetto album (2002). Despite Jaheim's disapproval of the remix, 1000 limited-edition white label vinyl records were pressed with permission from Warner due to the underground popularity garnered by the remix. In 2023, the remix was included on a compilation album for purchase on digital storefronts.

In 2017, a remix by Martin was included in an extended play of "Swan Song" by Dua Lipa.

In 2019, Martin was awarded Critics' Choice in the Drum&BassArena Awards 2019.

2001: Musique Concrete

On 25 September 2001, Calibre released his debut album on the Creative Source label run by the DJ and Drum & Bass veteran Fabio. Spanning 5x vinyl / double CD, the album began to define Calibre's soulful and melodic sound and imprint his name amongst the emerging Liquid Funk artists of the time.

Signature Records

In 2003, Martin decided to launch a self-published record label, Signature Records, which became his vehicle for publishing his music. Martin states, "There won't be any other artists on the label for the foreseeable future". For a few years the label's website ran of the back of Soul:R, the record label he ran alongside Marcus Intalex. With the Soul:R website receiving very few updates since 2006, Calibre published most of his work and news through his own MySpace page however he deleted this in early July 2011.

2005: Second Sun

November 2005 marked Martin's second full-length album release, through the Signature label, entitled Second Sun. Second Sun was released after much anticipation following his 2001 release. He stated, "I look upon my move to Logic as a process in the studio to be a second part of the story. But having said that, the 22nd is my birth date, it's my second album, I'm the second son in the family, this is the second phase production wise but for me its nothing to do with numerology, its more to do with reinvention, a new life." The album Second Sun is regarded by those working in and those listening to Drum and Bass as a landmark release for the genre. On 17 September 2008, BBC 1Xtra Drum and Bass DJ Bailey gave special praise to the title track of the album, noting it as the tune of the festival for Sun and Bass 2008, a dedicated Drum and Bass festival which is held in Sardinia.

Calibre himself describing this album: "Condition is my drum and bass follow up to "Even If", I originally wanted to make an album that was more dance floor influenced, to have a more light hearted approach, in some ways it has that, but I couldn't stop myself from making the deeper material, for years i have wrestled with the subtle side of drum and bass, my journey has been one that tries to attain the simple groove, to keep removing the layers of this music, this album is an expression of this, and how im still feeling the underdog waiting for the cycle....... it came about as it always has and that's the way its supposed to, enjoyable and moving fast to discover the stillness."

2013: Valentia

In 2013 Calibre released the album Valentia under his own name, Dominick Martin. The album was titled after Valentia Island, located off of the south-western coast of Ireland, where much of it was recorded. Martin, who brought with him only a laptop and microphone, said of the location: "in one of the rooms sat a piano, and as my fingers touched the keys I knew there was a story there waiting to be told. The sound of the piano in that place was something very magical as 100mph winds battered the house and interrupted my recordings."

In a 12 April 2013 interview with DJ Magazine, he described the project in more detail: "This album is like a singer/songwriter album, it’s like its own big story in itself. I went to the West Coast of Ireland and there was this big storm brewing, and I was scared to death, and I was writing out of fear, it was crazy. I wrote this album down there, I sampled a piano and it’s exactly that material that brings me away from drum & bass." Valentia was released digitally as well as in a limited physical CD and Vinyl release through Signature records on 15 July 2013.
