Welcome to the Academic Disco

About Me

Greetings!

At last! My Myshpace Page! Here you'll find un-mixed, un-mastered new and recent tracks - some produced by me alone, others in long-distance collaboration with Tom Giles (of DC Recordings fame).

The story: He lives in London, I live in Bucharest and we work using carrier pigeons, trained to carry DAT tapes attached to their little leggies. Me and Tom ran a fondly remembered night in Oxford for three years, entitled "Def Ape", so it's quite apt we ended up producing things together.

If you happen to be living in the Bucharest area, then you'll be able to catch me DJing quite a lot. Since I'm unlikely to blog all the gigs here, it's best if you go straight to tomwilson.ro for upcoming gigs. Banging!


Dreamboat Records have just released the track SKYLIGHT on their 2008 sampler LP. Clicky-click for more.
A new song entitled "Farewell My Friend" appears on the Dreamboat Christmas Sampler, which can be downloaded in its entirety for FREE (yes, FREE OF CHARGE) here.

NEWS!
Having just realised I can now upload six songs, I'm treating you to two new tracks.

Farewell My Friend features me on the holy triumvirate of Piano, Clarinet and Glockenspiel, while Mamming Jiami was going to appear as a remix on Barely Breaking Even Records, but they told me to bog off.
