Influenced by equal parts of Kraftwerk, AC/DC, and Farley Jackmaster Funk, mid-west rave legend and Brooklyn, NY resident Tommie Sunshine has played everywhere from the Electroclash festivals in New York to Bjork's tour wrap party in Reykjavik to serving as support DJ on the Spring 2003 leg of Fischerspooner's North American tour. He has also opened for New Order in London, and spun to Colette parties in Paris beside 2 Many DJs to Vice Magazine launch parties in Tokyo. He has rocked crowds in Mexico City, Barcelona, Munich, Sao Paulo, Berlin & Rio de Janeiro. His studio collaborations have included Felix Da Housecat, James Murphy, Arthur Baker, Mylo and DJ Hell, and as an established remixer, Tommie has been requested to retouch work from a diverse list of artists including Good Charlotte, Kelis, Louis XIV, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Elvis Presley, Pink, The Killers, 'Da 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. This will be the Vancouver debut of this jet-setting DJ legend on the rise.

Far from an overnight sensation - the spotlight has been a long time coming for Tommie - 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, holding down the position of promotional director of the Midwest dance mecca Dust Traxx and being named in URB magazine's 'Next 100'. 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 "Silver Screen (Shower Scene)" on the award winning 2002 Kittenz & Thee Glitz LP that Thom Yorke of Radiohead is quoted in URB Magazine saying, "That should have been f**ing number one all over the world." Since his move to New York, Tommie also worked with International Deejay Gigolo records supremo DJ Hell and DFA's James Murphy on Hell's 'NY Muscle' LP and has produced and written a track with DJ Magazine's 2004 Artist Of The Year, Mylo.

Rock House, ElectroDiscoPunk & Lo-Fi Dance Pogo is what you can expect from the decks and a full-blown, unpredictable party is what you can expect through the speakers and on the dance floor.
