DUOMO has been building a catalog that sits comfortably in the darker corners of experimental hip-hop. DUOMO’s been consistently blending trap elements with orchestral weight.
“Not all rituals need light to find their purpose.”
Right from the start, “Phantom” hits you with these heavy organ lines, but then the trap drums come in and ground everything in modern production territory. It’s an interesting contrast that shouldn’t work as well as it does. The choir vocals float through the track like they’re part of some ancient ritual, adding this layer of human presence without ever becoming the main focus.
Here’s the thing about this track: it doesn’t try to give you an easy payoff. There’s a gothic vibe running through the whole thing, and it’s genuinely eerie and captivating. The cinematic quality makes it easy to imagine this soundtrack scoring a film scene, but it’s equally effective just as a standalone listening experience. You can tell DUOMO knows how to build tension without relying on the usual tricks.
“Phantom” is confident in what it is: a dark, immersive soundtrack that trusts you to meet it on its own terms. If you’re into experimental hip-hop and dark instrumentals, give “Phantom” your attention. Stream it and add it to your late-night playlist.
