"I always like starting with something out of context..."  

He of WH Lung greatness and now a solo live artist & DJ delivers a belter of a mix.

Having grown up in Manchester's DIY band scene, Tom Sharkett came late to these things called dancing clubs and all that came with it, discovering electronic music through synthesizers while recording with his most excellent band W. H. Lung. His journey from guitar music to the dancefloor mirrors his present-day musical output; a collision of post-punk abrasiveness and the electronic that feels equally at home in sweaty basements and proper nightclubs.

Now based back in Todmorden, Tom has carved out his own niche releasing on Optimo Music and System Olympia's Okay Nature label... and it's a bloody brilliant niche!  His production approach remains coloured by those early days of bedroom experimentation with friends, citing the peerless Andrew Weatherall's fearlessly exploratory spirit as a key inspiration. It's interesting how he keeps coming around and around again, doesn't it? "His approach reminds me of the excited feeling I had trying to record things in my bedroom with my friends with anything we had at our disposal and just experimenting with the weird and wonderful results,"

When it comes to disc jockeying, Tom brings that same experimental energy. This mix was recorded in his panoramic valley-view studio in Todmorden, captures that ethos perfectly, opening with Spacemen 3 before wandering through territory that spans from Tirzah-esque experimentalism to classic New Beat.

Between touring with Julie Byrne, collaborating with Raf Rundell - more on that to come soon pop pickers - and working on a new solo record featuring multiple vocalists, Tom's not a 'sit still' kind of guy.

Just how we like it.

Get it on, let's go... read more below.

Saturday's Decelerating Discotheque set recorded live at The Setting Sun Glastonbury Festival 2025. This one came out with a big Cosmic Funk vibe and I think it decelerates quite late as the place was grooving. Please drop a comment if you enjoy or were there!

As a member of W.H. Lung, Tom Sharkett has provided electronics for one of the best bands in the UK, including on their most recent, critically acclaimed LP, ‘Every Inch of Earth Pulsates’. These DIY, indie-oriented experimentations have slowly led Sharkett to unexpected places as a solo artist in club culture, via the portal of Manchester’s legendary venue, The White Hotel, where he was inspired by inspired by cult nights such as Red Lazer and Wet Play, 

Sharkett has since collaborated with artists such as System Olympia and Raf Rundell, as well as appearing on Optimo Music and Okay Nature Records. His subtle, spirited edit of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Home’, released as a bootleg in early 2025, has recently re-emerged on DFA Records as an official release, just in time to become an unusual wistful summer anthem. 

Sharkett captures this fruitful moment in a contribution to Phantasy’s long-running mix series, which features a smattering of currently unreleased material, while bridging Cabaret Voltaire, Slowdive, Eden Burns and even Chappel Roan. True to the eclectic philosophy of Sharkett’s DJ and production trip so far, PHANTASYMIX 53 is a rare trip.

PHANTASYMIX 53: Tom Sharkett

Rob Murray & Mike Lindsay linked up post-lockdown in Mike’s legendary mancave, along with Gary Jack and James Payne, The Ganghaus was born—a regular spot for crafting tight, crowd-ready mixes. Casual jam sessions quickly turned into full-blown back-to-back DJ sets. Rob, a veteran of Scotland’s 90s rave scene with gigs at iconic venues like Calton Studios, The Fubar, and beyond, brought deep experience to the decks. Mike, no stranger to the music scene himself, picked things up fast.

1 Hour Mix For Netil Radio

Kicking the arse out of mixes since 1990. Couldn't ID a sub-genre if my life depended on it. If it's got the energy, and it fits, it's going in.
