Destroy Faceless Dance Acts!

About Me

''Dance music is on a downer at the moment...Its a calling for all electronic artists to make music that excites people again!''
My name is Tom Young and I'm a 22 year old Big Breaks/Electronic musician and producer. I strongly believe in live dance music and feel that crap DJ's, along with faceless, one-hit bedroom acts (usually 40yr old men who cant beat them, so join them!) have spoilt the masses perception of dance music, and I'm out to put things right. The connection, energy and buzz from a live crowd is far too important just to limit your music to a recording.
I write my tracks between my home studio in Suffolk and my tiny room at my uni halls in Liverpool, much to the annoyance of my neighbours! Always writing with live performances in mind, I find inspiration from jamming and trawling through banks of samples. I'm currently working with a number of talented vocalists on my debut album (including the tracks above) and playing live shows in and around Liverpool, whilst also producing other exciting acts AND completing a degree at LIPA.
I've won a number of awards for my music, including the title of Young Musician of the Year, and the Sound Plus Award for Innovation... enough about me!
