: Tom Real :
It’s fair to say it’s been a busy year for Tom Real, beginning with his debut release of the year ‘Feel My’ (alongside production partner The Rogue Element) becoming ‘Single Of The Month’ in leading UK dance press DJ & I-DJ, the pair also won the accolade ‘Best Remixer’ at this years Breakspoll Awards 2007 at London’s Fabric, Nightclub. Having performed killer peak-time sets at the UK’s leading festivals; Glastonbury, Glade, Wildchild Outdoors and Sunrise Celebration, Tom has also regularly performed around the UK with key headline slots at leading London venues Turnmills and The End. 2007 also saw the release of his debut compilation album ‘Functionals Finest Moments’ for Functional Records and remixing the 50th release from the same label, this year has seen Tom’s profile as a DJ and producer have gone into stratospheric proportions and shows no sign of it slowing down... baby!
On the production front Tom’s genre-crossing tech / electro / breaks sound has seen him remix legendary US dance act The Crystal Method (alongside The Rogue) for a special 10th anniversary remix album which the band have commissioned. Tom and Rogue’s remix sits alongside remixes from A-list producers such as Paul Oakenfold, MSTRKFT, DJ Hyper, Deadmau5 and many more. With two killer singles about to drop as part of Passenger Records groundbreaking ‘This Way Up’ album project ‘Machine’ (and electro-tech cut made alongside The Rogue Element) and ‘Another Dimension’ (a huge four-to-the-floor anthem alongside Aquasky), Tom’s productions are being hammered by leading DJs across the globe.
Alongside his day job managing UK electronic and event PR company Cypher Press, Tom has just landed the new role A&R’ing fast rising electro house label Fakt Recording (Cheshire Catz / Black Russian / Fake Hero / David Ekenback and many more) Tom will not only see him talent spotting for this excellent new label but also delivering some filthy electro-house music and a mix album showcasing the best of past, present and future releases all before the year is out!
With Tom’s skills behind the decks becoming more and more in demand as the year progresses, Tom is set to perform at one of the most interesting new festivals in the UK The Waveform Project and with gig requests are pouring in from around the UK with offers coming in from countries as far a field as Portugal, Russian Federation and Australia, Tom’s unique mash up sound of electro, techno and bass heavy beats has proved a firm favourite with a wide selection of crowds and he is guaranteed an excellent response wherever he performs.
