FR // Tom vient des collines du nord du Pays de Galles où sa famille l’a très tôt initié à la musique. Très influencé par son frère Joe et son très proche ami Leif, ce Dj et performeur live dont le talent n’est plus à démontrer passe la majorité de son temps à créer son propre style musical : une minimale méticuleuse, riche, deep et funky, résolument tournée vers le dancefloor et produite à une cadence infernale sur des labels tels que Hartchef, Minibar, Logistic, Trimsound ou Mindtours. Son dernier LP sorti le mois dernier sur le -ressuscité- label français Telegraph et intitulé “Sex, Drugs and Sausage Rolls”, est une petite merveille sonore aux atmosphères et aux rythmiques soignées, une rareté de nos jours qui nous fait oublier la médiocrité abondante des titres du genre. Pour se mettre en bouche, Input Selector vous propose de découvrir son cinquantième épisode, un live excellent enregistré spécialement pour notre podcast par ce maître du minimal-groove. A consommer sans modération.
