The musical roots of Tomaz sprung from his father's collection (ranging from classical over country to French chanson and pop music) to the new wave and rock scene of the 70's and 80's. This was his sole inspiration for his early Dj days. It wasnt long before he started to introduce the first house and techno tunes to those wave/rock parties and the Belgian airwaves on local radio stations.
His obsession for music drove him towards a job at the BCM (now Enterprise) record store, where he still works today guiding music-crazed lovers through the musical jungle.
In the late nineties Tomaz took it to a new level when he gave a first shot at production with Kobbe. That was the birth of several 12"es on labels like Re-Load and Future Frontier. Next in the line of production were the successful collaborations with the Filterheadz ("More House", the latin techno hit "Los Hijos del Sol" and the major worldwide clubhit "Sunshine" on Carl Cox' Intec label). "Sunshine" is one of the best selling singles on Intec and is still being re-pressed today, 4 years post-release.
This was the moment when Tomaz moved from the local radio stations to the Belgian national radio Studio Brussel where he became the techno programmer for the weekly show Switch. The show has just started its sixth season and continues to bring the best electronic music to an international audience. Alongside techno, Tomaz also programmes future hits and best classics on the same radio show.
2005 saw the release of the follow up single to "Sunshine". The Saturn Moons EP once again proved the musical diversity of Tomaz. After the latin flavoured releases, "Titan" is a dreamy, string-fuelled anthem, that like it's predecessor, is played by all the big names, whether they are techno, house or trance dj's. The future will bring more collaboration with the likes of Stanny Franssen, Sam Ostyn, Redhead, to name a few.

down_under and Silenced are joining forces to kick off 2010 in style, with a marathon 12hour party!!!
The silenced collective will start the party. They'll guide you safely from 2009 to 2010. You can already look forward to a big countdown, deep basslines and intelligent musical climaxes. These guys know what they 're doing. They've been living on Silo techno for more than a decade now. With great love, they've seen the music evolve to what some might refer to as 'contemporary techno'. Of course, that's just a name. What you can count on, is 6 years of residency at Silo and a line-up that's earthquake-proof: Crisp, Pilsner, Sebastian Häld, Dan Droff, Raphaël Klaps.
Over the past year down_under established itself as another quality house night at Club Silo in Belgium. With line-ups of some of the best European Dj talents (Matthias Tanzmann, Martinez, Nick Curly, Christian Burkhardt,...) they gained a reputation as a new innovating party for house and techno heads and party people alike in Belgium. For New Year's Eve down_under is lucky enough to welcome the considerable Belgian talents of Massimo Girardi and Hermanez. Completing the line-up are DU's residents Dezz Terquez and Jitter who will provide their underground mixture of house & techno, which will take you down, deep into 2010.
Restoration Record’ s highly
awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up
this hard times. Captain Power and the soldiers of the future will lead
the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom.
Humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are
operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values
imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
THIRD
SIDE is the new operative group of Restoration, formed by MARIEU,
LUCRETIO and by resident dj of Panorama Bar STEFFI (Klakson/Ostgut
Ton).“Ready to Dance” is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but
minimalistic at the same time. Very essential in its build-up, its bass
line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. We are
ready to dance, it’s time to jack!
ANALOGUE COPS.. "Chamber" is a
strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together
with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. Rushing percussions, piercy
hi-hats, a breathless progression. An experiment which turns into a
solid club tack.
On side B, “Still me” represents LUCRETIO’s
vocation to neoclassicism. The time disappears and a gospel organ full
of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on
Planet Earth. Dramatic and sweet, it’s evocative and hopeful.
LUCRETIO’s track on Rst006 appears on Tama Sumo’s “Panorama Bar - Mix
Cd”.
“Mauzy” is MARIEU deepest track on Restoration. Beat-down
smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp
cymbals, a praising voice. A track for a spiritual elevation, a track
to dance until the last second. A track to listen to a million of
times.
