DJ TOM SELECT INTERVIEW | SYNC FLOYD x CEE LO GREEN 

(25-JUNE-2022) On June 24 I talked to Stop Beefin Radio on an Instagram Live Stream. After chatting about my musical background we mainly discuss the SYNC FLOYD x CEE LO GREEN project I executive produced, arranged and managed recently. 

 

Listen to the full interview HERE.

SYNC FLOYD x CEE LO GREEN | BEAUTIFOOL - OUT NOW!

(10-JUNE-2022) A project that we have been working on for quite some time is now available to the public, SYNC FLOYD x CEE LO GREEN | BEAUTIFOOL. This is not just a groovy song featuring world famous singer/rapper Cee Lo Green (Gnarls Barkley, Goodie Mob), but a full-blown and unique art project.

 

BEAUTIFOOL is available as radio single, music video, animated short film and art exposition. Executive production and arrangement by yours truly.

 

More details, official videos and links to all relevant platforms can be found on the band homepage at www.sync-floyd.com, or on my Instagram account.

"BAK - ERSTSCHLAG" REMASTERED - OUT NOW!

(09-OCTOBER-2020) BAK was the first band project I produced a full-blown album for. The two Rappers Marco C., MC Zo and I started working together around 2000. We played dozens of shows and were soon known as THE Battle-Rap group in the area. After about a year we consolidated the recorded material and released our first Demo-Tape called "Erstschlag" - which became an instant Undergound Classic.

 

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, I decided to re-release the full album incl. most of the instrumentals. At the time we recorded and mastered the songs, we neither had the budget for professional studio equipment nor the right level of mastering expertise at hand that the songs would have deserved. But here we are - 20 years later that album now sounds amazing, and as fresh as if it would have been recorded yesterday. Check out the links below and tune into some groundbreaking, german Battle-Rap.

SOUND SURVIVORS - REMASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS

(11-SEPTEMBER-2020) The critically acclaimed SOUND SURVIVORS song WELTKRIEG V3.0 (German), originally published over ten years ago, underwent a special treatment and was fully remastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, the home of The Beatles. 

 

The song was produced, arranged and mixed by DJ Tom Select and far ahead of his time when released about a decade ago, not to say prophetic. It talked about a lot of risks and issues we saw become reality in the meantime - be it the financial crisis in 2008 or the biometric surveillance state(s) we now see evolving in the shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NEW YEAH! NEW  PROJECTS ON THE HORIZON

(17-MARCH-2019) After the July 2017 release and promotion phase for my latest album ZIPDRIVEDISCO it has been a bit quiet out here I admit. I had to take a break, travelled to Cuba, Portugal, Colombia, US and other countries and started to work on some new stuff first. Hence, from now on you will see more frequent updates on the site again. Now a glimpse of what to expect: We have founded a new band project called SYNC FLOYD which I will be leading as Executive Producer. Logos, website, social media representation are currently being worked on. We'll release two singles to promote the project, one in Autumn or so, and the other one most likely early next year - both of them will feature VERY SPECIAL guest appearances which nobody would have thought of, I guarantee folks! Both singles will be released with Major Label support worldwide and should hit a radio station near you as soon as they are out. It won't be Hip Hop but rather Funk, Disco Funk or Urban Pop. We don't have a genre for it, it just sounds DOPE and will make you move your ass, trust me. That's it for now, more details will follow soon. Stay tuned for an amazing future folks. 

DIGITAL ALBUM TRACKLIST ENHANCED FOR BANDCAMP PURCHASES
