ABOUT TOM:
With a mother who's teaching music and himself already playing the piano at the ago of 7, he was bound to end up in music someday.
Emerging from the old industrial center of Belgium (Aalst), young producer Tom Dazing got hooked on music at an early age. Born in 1985 on the musical axis of Ghent-Brussels, and with music strengthening its grip on him, he soon found his way to the record stores at the age of 18, setting of on becoming a reputed dj but soon evolving towards the production side of things. Tom developes an interest in a wide spectrum of music styles, but consumed by the strength, power and instinctive structure of techno, that music would control him up to now.
In 2006 gave birth to his debut EP on Toys For Boys records that immeditately blasted its way into the playlist of several a-list dj's worldwide. His unique blend of bumping minimal techno with huge influences of oldskool chicago and acidhouse landed him a release on Marco Bailey's MB Selektions in that same year. Soon followed by releases on Andre Crom's Heimatmelodie imprint, PsyTox' label Coincidence, and again MB Selektions where his track "Octopussy" scorched the feet of dancefloor punters all over the globe. He also performs his material live enabling him to turn up the energy levels a notch further. In his records he tries to blend in old school drum elements into a subtle environment of new slinky grooves and all-out raving madnesshave, which attracted the attention of top DJs.
His production skills, time shifting rhythm patterns and funky complex melody's are very highly appreciated by the croud and promotors.
He received much acclaimed support from people like Richie Hawtin, Josh Wink, Karotte, Marco Bailey, Monika Kruse, Gabriel Ananda, Seth Troxler, Len Faki, Dominik Eulberg, Skoozbot, Alexi Delano & Tim Xavier,... and played dj and livesets in venues and events such as Kozzmozz, Ultra, Heimatmelodie, Forbidden Fruit, Déclic, Minimalicious, SeSSioN and performed in clubs & venues like Tresor (Berlin), U60311 (Frankfurt), Fuse (Brussels), Vooruit (Ghent), Kiosk Club (Lille), Aquarium (London), Club Versteck (Dortmund), Silo & Decadance.
He has recently picked up a montly residency in Frankfurt's U60311 and he's maintaining his local position on the Thriller parties in Ghent. Expect future releases on Trapez, Toysforboys and a series of remixes on various labels.
News on Tom Dazing & Gols's new release on Coincidence Records!
New album called 'Suricata Suricatta', available in vinyl & digital!
Tom Dazing & Gols have been connected to Coincidence for ages: they both started out dj’ing on the same nights where we were regular guests and Tom signed to the label as one of the very first artists and did a few remixes as well. Also in their dj careers their paths and ours have continuously crossed. So, we are proud to welcome our friends once again to the label.
The remixes are also pretty cool if we may say so: much to our delight, our favourite producer duo Los Updates (Cadenza, Sei Es Drum,…) loved the original track and went to work to create a massive remix that is clearly a new benchmark in the label’s landscape. In their typical style encorporating the latin vibes and the darkness of the clubs, they deliver a signature remix too crazy to believe. We can’t be more proud that this is on our little label.
The second remix was made by those former Coincidence debutants from Toronto Canada, Beat Syndrome. The canadians might live in a freakishly cold country, but the warmth coming from this version will heat up any dancefloor instantly. An amazing dancefloor bomb that will move any floor, garantueed.
Add to that the fact that all tracks were mastered to perfection by mr. Matt Colton from Air Studios London (Kanye West, Kylie Minogue, Rolling Stones, Libertines, Time To Express, Mowar Records,…) and you realize that this is a serious package you’ve got on your hands. We adore this release like it’s a child of our own: we hope you’ll think the same and you’ll blow your dancefloor to kingdom come with these bombs.
You be social now!
