Brief Experience :
Tom's journey into electronic music started when he heard Prodigy's 'Voodoo People' track. The song introduced new meaning to sound for Tom, it was original and raw. Tom got introduced to EDM parties in late 90's where he attended his first rave called BoogieMan. This was the first time Tom saw a live DJ mix records and how they moved everyone on the dance floor. He began attending local parties on regular basis. He started helping local promoter setup sound for events and eventually met some of the local DJs who performed at the parties. It was not till early '99 when Tom was in a car accident and made him realized life was to short and wanted to become a DJ. He purchased his turntables, mixer and 30 records from the settlement he got from his car wreck. It took two solid months of playing on his turntables every night to put out his first epic trance mix CD. He was offered his first gig in October of '99 at a club night called Space put on by a friendly guy named Chris Le who was originally from Philly. Tom rocked his first set, he was the first Nrg/UK Hard House DJ in Boise and became a regular at the club where he eventually took over after Chris moved back East. Tom ran the club for nearly two years and got to play at local shows next to Tinrib, Max, Scott Stubs and DJ Jurgen producer of Alice Deejay. Also played over the internet radio station called WestSide Records Crew out of Portland OR and guest appearance at Temple of Sound in Portland OR. After the club night shot down Tom took a long break form parties and playing records.
