Tom Budden (Familia Records, September Chart)
Hailing from Southampton (UK) Tom Budden is fast gaining a reputation as one of the stand-out DJs of 2007. His tight control behind the decks, coupled with a forward thinking approach to dance music makes him a talent to look out for in the not too distant future.
"Tom doesnt just add to a party he regularly makes it. Everything about him is infectious, from those throbbing basslines that hook you in, to his enthusiastic demeanour behind the decks" (Chris King, DJ Mag June 05).
With tastes ranging from deep techy house through to peak time monsters, electrified breaks and hypnotic 6am melodies, Tom is one of a special breed of DJs who can play warm up, end of night, or even start to finish.
"The thing that makes Tom such a great DJ (apart from having great taste in music of course) is the fact you can put him on at any time of the night and he'll play accordingly. Whether it's opening the night without smashing all the big records or finishing the party and keeping control of the dancefloor, he's more than capable of both." (James Zabiela).
Holding residencies at London club night Familia at The Key and High Tide and Release in Southampton, he also hosts monthly radio show, ALiVE on Proton Radio and promotes his own ALiVE party in Southampton, which runs in conjunction with the High Tide bank holiday boat parties.
