Influenced by the legendary NYC club Sound Factory, Tom Stephan became the new "it" producer seemingly overnight thanks to his 2001 smash "The Revolution." Bolstered by support from Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish and Pete Tong (who named it the "Track of the Year"), "The Revolution" kick-started both Tom's production and DJ career. By 2002, he had already collected enough stellar material for a best-of compilation and the resulting Get The Lead Out: The Best of Superchumbo also provided a roadmap of what he had dubbed the "lead-head" sound. Tom's debut artist album "Wowie Zowie" (Twisted 2005) sounded like the soundtrack to a haunted nightclub circus and It featured collaborations with sex kitten Samantha Fox, Miami club personality Alan T and bore big-room hits like "Irresistible," "This Beat Is," and "Dirtyfilthy." In 2007, Stephan released the mix compilation Let's Go Chumbo! And followed it up with a flare for the theatrical on "Asseteria: Live >From New York," a compilation inspired by the Sunday night/Monday morning party of the same name, featuring a full cast of costumed go-go girls and gender-benders.
Next up for Tom Stephan is a slew of remixes for high-profile, of-the-moment releases � Major Lazer's "Keep It Going Louder" (included on Nervous Nitelife: Tom Stephan), the renowned track "Great DJ" by the Ting Tings, Shakira's new track "Did It Again" and Gossip's "Heavy Cross" � show him manipulating staccato pop and Beth Ditto's Joplin-esque wale into perfectly jerky, funky bites that keep the unique vibes of the originals while adding his own.
Revved, revitalized, ready for the future: Tom Stephan is starting the drumbeat all over again. It's time for another revolution: Are you ready?
Nervous Nitelife: Tom Stephan is released December 29, 2009 on Nervous Records
