About Tommie Sunshine:
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 Dunk, 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 won’t be long before there will be, at least a little, Tommie Sunshine in your life.
“Need big-room house mixes of Sarah Conner ot Andy Hunter? Check. How about a rock-house hybrid for The Stills? Got it. Gary Glitter shuffle-beat for Good Charlotte? Not a problem. And lets not get started on the weird quirky techno. All of this is leading Sunshine somewhere. Perhaps as a producer with a platinum record on his wall.” DJ Times Magazine, 2005.
“.... Sunshine’s quirky ear, knack for being ahead of the curve and an enthusiasm borfering on the obsession for music can’t be understated.” DJ Times 2005.
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 Silcott’s novel, “Rave America” 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 “Rise” and featured DJing in Billy Corgan’s post smashing-Pumpkins band Zwan’s Video for the song “Lyric”. 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 Xhannel 80: The Move- nominated for a DanceStar award in 2004. 2005 proved to be the year of expose’ for Tommie, as his face graced both DJ Times and URB Magazine’s covers. He then went on to win “Best DJ of Hong Kong 05”.
