Tom Frankel returns to our Killer Cuts series with four bubbly, melodic house tracks which touch base at Italo and progressive trance.

The London DJ, producer, label manager and one half of TIN family duo Frankel and Harper released ‘Milestone’ EP back in April last year: a skippy house cut with a strong nostalgia for early ‘90s raves. One year on, ‘Pingers in a field’ sees Frankel focus on bubbly melodies and rich textures. 

‘Pursuit’ is a polyphonic Italo-leaning house banger driven by sumptuous claps, whilst ‘Virtual Reality’’s anthemic melody and acid textures steer more towards progressive trance. ‘Commodore’ follows suit, adding in layers of cosmic ambience that floats blissfully above an assertive tech house beat before the dynamic acidic synths on ‘Blind Date’ bounce beneath high-pitched arpeggios.

Born and bred Londoner Tom Frankel is emerging as one of the nu breed of extra talented dance producers breaking out onto the scene. 

Over the last few years he has honed his trade by playing at legendary clubs such as The Egg, where he is a regular feature, plus many gigs at huge London clubs such as Studio 338, The Cause, Lightbox, Fabric in the UK. While also doing many seasons in Ibiza playing at Sankeys, Privilege, Viva, Zoo project, Hypercolour, and underground haven Plan Be.


Tom has played alongside industry greats such as Bushwacka!, Steve Lawler, Subb-An, Dubfire, Nina Kraviz, Julian Perez, Darius Syrossian, Bicep and Move D, but it is now that Tom himself is starting to take the limelight. 

His productions are fresh, forward thinking, and always with the dance floor in mind, creating his own unique fusion of House music where he has releases and remixes on labels such as Burnski's label Constant Sound and iO (Mulen) imprint OLDiViBES and more recently with his and Dayne Harper own imprint Council Work receiving a lot of attention, with support from Ben UFO, Call Super and Loco Dice amongst others, plus no1 chart positions on Beatport and Deejay.de for the first two releases. 

Tom has earned the admiration of his peers and rightly so, he’s a chap with a lively, transfixing personality and his sets are spirited and distinct, marrying a rich medley of current house, garage and minimal music with sounds from a bygone era. His rapid climb to success is attributable to his hard work and endearing character, which combined with his expert musical knowledge make him a serious one to watch in the future.
