Tomee (DiscoPhobia)

Tomas Karkalas aka Tomee have always had strong affinity for music. His first major exposure to electronic music was through his introduction to Sutemos.net netlabel, a mixture of ldm/ambient/dub/techno sound and in particularly Intelligent Toys compilations caused a dependence on sound that later in life grew into severe addiction.
Tom's introduction to large scale raves happened when he set his foot in London with his introduction to warehouse parties and big clubs . But it was Fabric that had a major influence on his evolving music taste.
Besides having started his DJing career relatively recently he already found himself playing in MOS, Aquarium and CAMP in East London.
Tom's music style is diverse from deep hypnotic house , nu disco to underground , broken beat electronica..
Tom is currently a resident for Love Asylum and DiscoPhobia.
