Tommy Tarzan

Tarzan, born Thomas Brinson, accurately embodies his DJ moniker. A true "Lord of the Jungle" behind the decks, Tarzan has been rocking crowds coast-to-coast for 11+ years.
Born in Albany, New York, Thomas moved to Long Island at an early age. This is where the DJ known as Tarzan was created, when Thomas was exposed to the New York rave scene in the mid-'90s. After watching NY rave pioneer Frankie Bones perform, Tarzan heeded the call from the music, wanting to spread the feeling he was experiencing. Initially into the breakbeat sound, Tarzan quickly discovered his true home was in the Jungle, and so began his journey into Drum & Bass.
Tarzan became actively involved in the rave scene, joining production crew Smoovegroove in 1997. It was with Smoovegroove that Tarzan participated in some of New York's most memorable events, such as Genesis, Lust 1-4, Feast 1 & 2, and Groove Theory, as well as countless weeklies and other underground events.
Fast forward to the end of 2002- Tarzan finds himself migrating to Tucson, Arizona. Quickly meeting up with local legend DJ Clay Steele and blossoming MC Shaun Harris, group AZ-One was formed and began performing at Arizona's largest dance events, such as Earthdance, Reflections, and many others. Since moving to Tucson, Tarzan has been integral in various weekly, monthly, and special D&B events.
Throughout his extensive DJ career, Tarzan has played with a who's-who of top DJ talent; LTJ Bukem, Dieselboy, John B, Aphrodite, ODI, Danny the Wildchild, Reid Speed, Friction, Black Sun Empire, and even the late Hip Hop legend Jam Master Jay. Tarzan incorporates many sub-genres of D&B in his DJ sets, taking listeners on a journey between the light and dark sides of D&B. Never a dull moment, Tarzan also peppers the musical voyage with scratching and turntable trickery. His skills are exemplified in the compliment he received from LTJ Bukem; simply put "you are great at mixing."
A proper champion for the music, from East Coast to West, Tarzan has a genuine love for Drum & Bass. He takes every opportunity to help the scene and spread the Jungle fever.
