Dominic Woosey

Dominic Woosey is a British musician, producer, recording engineer and electronic music pioneer whose work under aliases including Neutron 9000 AND Mysteries of Science helped shape the evolution of ambient house, techno, trance and experimental electronic music during the late 1980s and 1990s.

Woosey became an important figure in the birth of the German trance movement through releases on many significant labels and appearances at seminal events and clubs such as Love Parade, Mayday, Tresor and New York institutions including Limelight, NASA and USA. In 1990 he remixed Talk Talk's UK Top Five hit 'It's My Life', further demonstrating the versatility that has defined a career built on innovation, experimentation and artistic independence.

Launching his own productions in the late 1980s, Woosey quickly earned a reputation for refusing to be confined to one style. His recordings ranged from acid house, bleep techno and ambient electronics to trance, hardcore and experimental sound design. Several albums and singles released under his various aliases have since achieved cult status and are widely recognised as helping establish the foundations of ambient house before the commercial success of The Orb and The KLF. His influence extended further when Aphex Twin sampled Neutron 9000 on the landmark album Selected Ambient Works 85–92.

Born in Cheltenham, England, Woosey grew up surrounded by classical, jazz and experimental music before embracing the independent spirit of punk, a philosophy that remained central to his career. Determined to work in music, he secured a position at London's Riverside Recordings as recording engineer and synthesiser specialist. During this period he worked on sessions involving artists including Elton John, George Michael, Motorhead and many others while mastering emerging digital recording and sequencing technology.
