As he still does now, Tom poured his heart and soul into making music. Early experiments with blends of experimental hip-hop, jazz, Latin influences, Afrobeat sounds and soul-flecked broken beat caught the ear of local labels and producers, before he began to apply his composition and production skills to house music.
By the time local label Rush Hour snapped up his debut single, “Live With The BBQ”, in 2006, he’d already developed a trademark style that blended the best of three decades of dance music – disco, boogie, synth funk, Detroit techno and more – with insatiable house rhythms and an intrinsic grasp of what makes dancefloors tick.
It’s this blend, no to mention his love of collaborating with musicians, vocalists and producers from Amsterdam and beyond (think Romanthony, San Proper, Awanto 3, Cinnaman, Tyree Cooper and Bok Bok), which makes his music so irresistible. Given his impressive track record, it’s perhaps unsurprising that several of his tracks – not least the rush-inducing “Use Me Again” – continue to receive club plays years after their release.
Fast forward to 2013, and Tom is a man in demand. Aside from preparing for an extended live tour in support of his new album The Light Fantastic, he continues to run his Voyage Direct label and parties (a showcase for Dutch house music, named after his 2009 debut album) and still pours his heart and soul into making new tracks. He excitedly talks about ideas for musical projects – from film soundtracks to audiovisual performances and straight-up club tracks – while preparing for DJ sets in Ibiza, London or New York.
