"Sunshine's quirky knack for being ahead of the curve and an enthusiasm bordering on the obsessive cannot be overstated" DJ Times
"Tommie Sunshine just might be the guy who could make dance music fun and important again this year..." Paper, 2006
Influenced by equal parts of Kraftwerk, AC/DC, and Farley Jackmaster Funk, mid-west rave legend and Brooklyn, NY resident Tommie Sunshine is raising the bar. Covering ground as artist, remixer, producer, label owner, DJ and songwriter and with his legendary hybrid of live performance and DJ sets now traveling the globe it won¹t be long before there will be, at least a little, Tommie Sunshine in your life.
His studio collaborations have included Felix Da Housecat, James Murphy, Arthur Baker, Mylo and DJ Hell; he has played everywhere from Hong Kong to Reykjavik. As an established remixer, Tommie (alongside long time collaborator Mark Verbos) has been requested to retouch work from a diverse list that includes Louis XVI, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Good Charlotte, Kid Alex, Princess Superstar, Elvis Presley, Fallout Boy, Gang of Four, My Robot Friend, The Killers, ŒDa Brat, P.O.D., Fischerspooner, The Faint, Kill Hannah, Ima Robot, Ladytron and Avril Lavigne. Furthermore, major fashion houses have asked Tommie for his deck time such as Versace, Raf Simons, Chanel, Xavier Delcour and Jeremy Scott ­ Beverly Hills. Tommie¹s original music has also been featured in a film by designer Jeremy Scott; NY hotel Tribeca Grand¹s website, Blockbuster Video radio spots, a cd advertisement for the fashion label Chanel and on the CBS show ³Without A Trace². His work was also featured in Entertainment Tonight¹s coverage of the Academy Awards, as well as the Hollywood release ³Kiss Kiss Bang Bang². Not one to wait for innovative outlets for his music, his tunes have been in video games such as NBA 2K6 which features an unreleased track titled ³And Then² as well as Need For Speed: Underground 2. Now with all this under his belt, Tommie is setting the international stage for the release of his debut album to hit next year, prefaced by his first compilation CD coming fall 2005¹
After six years in Georgia where he ran Satellite Records - Atlanta and held down two residencies at Club Sol and Fusion, he moved back to Chicago for four years establishing club nights ElectroSweat and Degeneration. He also held down the position of promotional director of the Midwest dance mecca Dust Traxx and being named in URB magazine¹s ŒNext 100¹. As a member of Thee Maddkatt Courtship with longtime collaborator Felix Da Housecat, Tommie co-produced "Cosmic Pop" for ffrr/London Records and worked again with Felix & Miss Kittin - co writing ³Silver Screen², ³Happy Hour² and ³Glitz Rock² - on the award winning 2002 ³Kittenz & Thee Glitz² LP. Thom Yorke of Radiohead is quoted in URB Magazine saying, ³That should have been fucking number one all over the world². The single "Silver Screen (Shower Scene)" continues to be a dancefloor classic around the world years after release. The duo returned to the studio again for the single ³Rocket Ride² which is co-produced and co-written, as well as the track ³Everyone Is Someone In LA². Tommie also worked with International Deejay Gigolo records supremo DJ Hell and DFA¹s James Murphy on Hell¹s ³NY Muscle² LP.
His long history in the mid west rave scene made him a major source for those who wanted to learn more about the underground dance culture. He wrote the preface to Mireille Silcott¹s novel, ³Rave America² and his knowledge on all things centric to this particular music cycle earned him an appearance in Peter Jennings Reporting on ABC, two separate BBC documentaries on House Music as well as the just out on DVD rave documentary ³Rise² and featured DJing in Billy Corgan¹s post smashing-Pumpkins band Zwan¹s video for the song ³Lyric² He has also been establishing his own presence as A&R and label owner with xylophone jones Recordings to include a cast of shocking newcomers alongside well established artists and Tommie himself. His xylophone jones Recordings Showcase at WMC 2004 was named by URB Magazine as the #2 event of Conference in between Ultra Music Festival and BBC Radio 1 Essential Selection. ). 2004 also brought Tommie to radio, doing a monthly feature on XM Channel 80: The Move - nominated for a DanceStar award in 2004. 2005 proved to be the year of expose¹ for Tommie, as his face graced both DJ Times and URB Magazine¹s covers. He then went on to win ³Best DJ of Hong Kong 05², which in turn got him his first International Residency at Hong Kong¹s famous nightclub Volar.
Stay tuned in 2006 as Tommie preps us all for his two releases. The first will be the Systematic Sessions Vol. 2 - Tommie Sunshine & Marc Romboy is out on German label Systematic Recordings in late April/early May, followed by the Ultra Records release of his double CD chock full of his remix and production work, past and present, with many surprises in store.
