Tom Zg

About me:

From the early days of his life Tom was surrounded with music, especially because of his mother, big music lover and record collector, which was big influence to his decision to attend music school and finish elementary music school for piano. With 10 years of age he started to buy records on his own, and with 14 he already started DJ-ing at primary school dance parties. Two years later (1989) he became youngest DJ in his hometown having a full club residency. After small pause in his career caused by the political situation in his country, Tom returned behind the decks and continued with 7 year long Saturday nights residency. During that period he was also doing monthly residences at some bigger “party-type” events. Eventually, he decided that it is time to move on, changing residencies at two highly acclaimed club events. Through all those years he was playing with names like: Andy Ward, Little Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, David Morales, Armand Van Helden, Miguel Migs, Shapeshifters, Kid Massive, Laidback Luke, Dennis Ferrer, Copyright, Freemasons, Knee Deep, Barbara Tucker, Ian Carey, Claude Monnet, Outwork, Delicious, CJ Mackintosh, Francesco Diaz, Ian Pooley, Sister Bliss, Derrick Carter, Timmy Regisford, George Morel, Silicione Soul, Phats & Small, …etc. and also gave local support for “Hed Kandi”, “Defected In The House” and “In Bed With Space” parties.

Tom was also co-author of the first mixed house compilation in Croatia called Nitelife Vol.1 and that same year, 2001, he was first Croat to be chosen as participant in prestigious Red Bull Music Academy. As the result of that, he was chosen to be representative for the Academy in Croatia. Of course, his career would not be complete without radio shows and production projects. He has been doing radio shows from the beginning of his DJ career, with small breaks, until today. At this moment he is co moderator of the only specialized house music show in Zagreb, capitol of Croatia. The show In-House Selection presents fresh house music every Friday at midnight on (Croatian) legendary Radio 101. Production is the latest in line of his musical activities. Last year Tom was doing some production with his colleague DJ Grade and the result were remixes for some Croatian artists as well as for artists from other countries, gathered around new Croatian house label Blacksoul Music. New tracks by this duo are scheduled to be released in first quarter of 2007.
