Tom & Grade

Tom & Grade are fresh new producers on the international house scene. For the past two years they have been creating their own unique style which is already recognizable. Even thou they have been on the music scene for more than 15 years and instead of just selecting and spinning music, they decided it was time to use their long-range of experience and move on to a more creative level with their music. Up until now they have appeared on 7 releases as authors or re-mixers and their success is being confirmed with constant business proposals and licensing’s on third party compilations.
While their production work is on the rise, we can continue to witness their very successful DJ careers with regular residence on many club programs in some of Zagreb's top night clubs. Not only did they launch the first Croatian house mix compilation, known as Nitelife Vol. 1., with their colleague Frx, but throughout the years they have also preformed with many top DJ's such as: Little Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Andy Ward. Eric Prydz, David Morales, Armand Van Helden, Miguel Migs, Shapeshifters, Kid Massive, Laidback Luke, Dennis Ferrer, Copyright, Yves Larock, Freemasons, Knee Deep, DJ Paulette, Barbara Tucker, Jamie Lewis, Ian Carey, Claude Monnet, Outwork, Delicious, CJ Mackintosh, Francesco Diaz, Ian Pooley, Sister Bliss, Derrick Carter, Danny Rampling, Timmy Regisford, Llorca, Jori Hulkonnen, George Morel, Paul Woolford, Silicione Soul, Phats & Small, …etc. and also gave local support for “Hed Kandi”, "Ministry Of Sound", “Defected In The House” and “In Bed With Space” parties. Grade also took part of the United DJ's mix compilation, while Tom selected a few mix compilations for Aquarius Records, and was the first Croatian to be accepted by the Red Bull Music Academy.
Tom & Grade are passionate record collectors who have a wide range of taste in music and because of this they have never had a problem adapting to their public, since they have prior experience performing not only in various clubs and bars around Croatia but also for many corporate events and parties such as: Red Bull, Heineken, TDR, Philip Morris, Becks, T-com…etc. For a longer period of time they have been DJ's for the Croatian Fashion week, but sadly due to the increase of obligations towards their productions and performances they had to cancel their cooperation. Both of them have worked on local radio stations. Grade has worked with Radio 1, while Tom has worked with radio Plavi 9. Today Tom is working with Radio 101 where he is co-author for a radio show called Inhouse selection, that lasts for 3 hours, with his colleague Frx. Today the duo, Tom & Grade, can be seen performing not only around Croatia but also abroad.

Tom i Grade svježi su producenti na svjetskoj house sceni, tek nepunih dvije godine grade svoj već sada prepoznatljiv stil. Kao DJ-i su na sceni više od 15 godina, ali su osjetili potrebu da svoj dugogodišnji rad pomaknu na višu razinu, pa je osim odabira i puštanja glazbe njihov umjetnički izričaj dobio još jednu, kreativniju stranu. Kao autori ili remixeri do sada su se pojavili na 7 izdanja, a uspješnost se potvrđuje stalnim prilivom poslovnih ponuda kao i otkupljivanjem njihovih radova za razne kompilacije.
No, dok je producentski posao u usponu, njihove DJ karijere su itekako uspješne čemu svjedoče i rezidencije na mnogim popularnim programima (Body & Soul, Moovin Groovin, Saturdays kluba radija 1, Nitelife…) i najboljim zagrebačkim klubovima. Kroz sve te godine svirali su sa samim vrhom house scene, među kojima se nalaze Little Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Andy Ward, Eric Prydz, David Morales, Armand Van Helden, Miguel Migs, Shapeshifters, Kid Massive, Laidback Luke, Dennis Ferrer, Copyright, Yves Larock, Freemasons, Knee Deep, DJ Paulette, Barbara Tucker, Jamie Lewis, Ian Carey, Claude Monnet, Outwork, Delicious, CJ Mackintosh, Francesco Diaz, Ian Pooley, Sister Bliss, Derrick Carter, Danny Rampling, Timmy Regisford, Llorca, Jori Hulkonnen, George Morel, Paul Woolford, Silicione Soul, Phats & Small,…itd. te su bili lokalna podrška za “Hed Kandi”, "Ministry Of Sound", “Defected In The House” i “In Bed With Space” partije, a također su bili i pokretači prve hrvatske mixane house kompilacije pod nazivom Nitelife Vol.1 zajedno s kolegom Frxom. Grade je također sudjelovao na mixanoj kompilaciji United DJs, dok je Tom potpisao mixanje nekoliko domaćih mixanih kompilacija za Aquarius Records. Također, Tom je i prvi hrvat primljen na prestižnu Red Bull Music Academy.
Kao strastveni kolekcionari ploča, a danas glazbe općenito, njihova glazbena širina se može čuti i u njihovim nastupima, gdje su se uvijek znali prilagoditi publici i događaju, svirajući tako po mnogim klubovima i barovima širom Hrvatske, ali i za mnoge korporativne događaje i partye (Red Bull, Heineken, TDR, Philip Morris, Becks, T-com…). Bili su i dugogodišnji DJ-i hrvatskog Fashion Weeka s kojim su zbog sve većih obaveza produkcije i nastupa morali okončati suradnju. Također su obojica radili na radio stanicama, Grade na radiju 1, Tom na Plavom 9, a danas je Tom koautor slušane trosatne emisije na radiju 101 pod nazivom Inhouse Selecition koju potpisuje zajedno s kolegom Frxom. Danas duo nastupa širom Hrvatske, ali i inozemstva.
