Born and bred Londoner Tom Frankel is emerging as one of the nu breed of extra talented dance producers breaking out onto the scene. Over the last few years he has honed his trade by playing at legendary clubs such as The Egg, where he is a regular resident, Fire, Cable, Troupe, and Area in the UK, while also doing many seasons in Ibiza playing at Sankeys, Privilege, Viva, Zoo project, Hypercolour, Manimalz, and underground haven Plan Be.
Tom has played alongside industry greats such as Steve Lawler, Nina Kraviz, Nice7, Darius Syrossian, Russ Yallop and Move D, but it is now that Tom himself is starting to take the limelight. His productions are fresh, forward thinking, and always with the dance floor in mind, creating his own unique fusion of House music where he has releases on labels such as Bloxbox, Incognitus, and It’s On Dot labels.
Tom has earned the admiration of his peers and rightly so, he’s a chap with a lively, transfixing personality and his sets are spirited and distinct, marrying a rich medley of current house & tech music with sounds from a bygone era. His rapid climb to success is attributable to his hard work and endearing character, which combined with his expert musical knowledge make him a serious one to watch in the coming months.
As Tom drops his latest track ‘Hot Mess’ on our Shanghaied Records yesterday as a free download (grab a copy here), we asked him to record this weeks Spotlight mix to celebrate the release!
