tomtomgroove loves House Music!
And he is one of those dancers, collectors, DJs and producers whose musical journey and endeavours began in the early 90s when he was one of the creative masterminds of Partyersatzamt. A crew that held parties in a former GDR juvenile prison in the green heart of Germany Thuringia gaining a crowd far beyond its borders. They never tried anything. They just did it! Icons of the Techno and House heritage such as David Alvarado, Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, George Morel, Monika Kruse, Sven Väth, Dj T, Nico, Yannick, Pierre, André Galluzzi, Thomas Schumacher, Marco Carola and many more shared the decks with TTG back then. TTG has played venues from Thuringia, to Kassel, to Frankfurt, to Berlin, to Budapest, to Dublin and back to Thuringia. Think of some Rave in the middle of nowhere, to Tresor, to Loveparade, to The Kitchen, just to end up at some after hour in an old pub.
Living and working in Berlin since the late 90s he has been releasing records on Polyfon and Broque with his solo project. His track „Mr. Funkman" of Polyfons 6th release found its way onto the "Get Lost 3" mix by Chilenean Berliner Dinky on Crosstown Rebels.
Besides his solo project he has been working on tracks with Ronald Christoph as 9 AM every once in a while. Their track "Just Like That" got released on Konsequenz's "The World Is Ours" compilation in spring 2009. (Some feedback: "Just Like That is dope!“ DJ Deep //// "Just Like That is a bomb! Love it!" Daniel of Trickski //// "Big and deep..innovative!" Osunlade)
Thanks to his deep musical knowledge and faultless mixing skills, tomtomgroove has been playing at some of the city’s best clubs and parties (Tape, Horst, Arena, Golden Gate, Retreat among others). |  | Selected discography of Tomtomgroove
