Quality Stamp DJ T

Once, in 1977, as a fragile 8-year-old boy, someone named Thomas Koch, now known as DJ T, became a passionate vinyl collector. His taste was formed under the influence of the slowly fading disco era and the upcoming HI NRG era. By 1980, Thomas was already a fervent fan of Grandmaster Flash and representatives of glam funk, who introduced him to the worlds of hip-hop, funk, and soul. Soon Koch became an obsessed breakdancer and music fan, drawn to the tunes made by Africa Bambaataa, Newcleus, Planet Patrol, and other groups that promoted a completely unique version of black music and broken beats. In 1987, Thomas decided to become a DJ and started playing in various establishments in Frankfurt. Later in his life, the "Omen" club appeared, where Thomas caught the virus called Acid House and began playing early house, techno, and EBM at such clubs as "Music Hall" and "Plastic." Throughout the 90s, DJ T was one of the most popular DJs in Frankfurt venues until he, along with several friends, decided to open his own club. Thus, in 1999, "Monza Club" was born, where Thomas was a promoter until 2004. In 1989, Thomas created the magazine "Groove" and was its editor until 2004. Through numerous projects, "Groove" became a worldwide recognized media brand specializing in electronic music. After 15 years working with "Groove," Koch sold the magazine to a Munich publisher to focus on his music career and label. By the way, Koch is the author of numerous articles for "Groove" and penned several books on music released in the mid-90s, including "Localiser 1.0" and "Thechno." In spring 2002, Thomas Koch co-founded the label "Get Physical Music," managed by a team of six electronic music stars - Patrick Bodmer, Philipp Jung, and the Booka Shade team (Walter Merziger, Arno Kammermeier, Peter Hayo). They had all worked together for 10 years, releasing tracks on prestigious labels (R&S (Degeneration), Harthouse (Synesthasia), Touche (Booka Shade) and Tommy Boy (Oakland Stroke)). DJ T, whose name first appeared on a record label in 2000 (it was "Monsterbase," written with Steve Bug), became a favorite of GPM. To date, T's discography includes five highly successful releases along with a list of excellent remixes for labels like "ArtofDisco," "20:20 Vision," "Mood Music," and "Naked Music." DJ T's debut album "Boogie Playground" consists of 13 unique tracks from one of the most distinctive house musicians. All the experience Thomas gained from 1978 to 1992 poured into this album, blending elements of disco, funk, electro, and Chicago and Detroit house. In "Funk On You," Koch wraps funk, disco, and fragments of italo house into a very organic whole. "Dark Room" is an emotional hybrid of minimal house and new wave. "The Calling" is the most restrained track on the album. Each track is a blend of sounds and influences, all stamped with the quality mark "DJ T," recognized worldwide by the leading specialists in the electronic music field.
