Gotta have House Music all night long

About Me

Get Your Own! | View SlideshowTom Watts; DJ, Percussionist, Drummer, Producer. Since the age of 5 Tom has been performing in front of the public. From learning the basic beats on the drum kit to a DJ who has played all over the UK and in Europe. For the past 4 years Tom has been a full-time DJ and occasional Percussionist based in Romford, Essex. Basing his sets firmly on house but definately on pleasing the crowd first and foremost he blends upfront promos with classic anthems. He also had a weekly radio residency through 2006. Unfortunately, in December 2006 disaster struck.. Like an artist losing his hands, Tom discovered he had Tinnitus and slight hearing loss in one ear. Tom decided that the risks of continuing with DJing up to 6 nights a week with Tinnitus were too great and he has now stepped back from full-time DJing. Now based just outside of Newquay, Cornwall, Tom is still very much in touch with the scene and continues to DJ occasionally whilst still promoting events and producing cheeky bootlegs. Tom has produced some outstanding bootlegs over the past year, including:Mylo Vs Beyonce - Crazy In Dub Blaze Vs Denis The Menace - Turn Your Precious Love Around The Verve Vs Tom Watts - Bitter Sweet Phsychopathe Slim Sanchez - Lost Sounds Bodysparks - Yeah Lets FlyAll of which have set the dancefloor alight! His lastest bootleg is being played by many DJs/Producers across London.Whilst he may not be Djing to the masses night after night, Tom is still immersed in the dance music scene and will continue to do so for many years yet...
