The Prog Lab Show 004 - Jawjee & Tomas Bayley Sep 2021

Sergio Vilas has previously produced under Kube 72 and D00sh touring Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and America playing alongside artists like Carl Cox, Dave Clarke, DJ Rush, Technasia, Joris Voorn, Green Velvet and many more. 

Appearing on Subsensory Recordings, Teggno Records, Stripped and many more he has been able to produce the old style techno blending and bending the rules to make the sound he wants to. It is through this success that has helped him get continued support for his tracks and debut album ‘Route 94’ from Carl Cox, SLAM, Bryant Zentz, Adam Jay, Claude Young, Colin Dale and many others . Beatport also named it as their number one pick by the staff. 

A release for Record Store Day 2018 was supported by Carl Cox and Jaguar (Radio 1).

His track Detroit Day from his album Universal Child was championed by Carl . Cox, He later had the track by Jon Rundell, Jak and JGarrett. This was also supported by Carl Cox.

Sergio's love of all types of music will become more apparent as he sets to show how diverse his style really is with his new album Persistence, which is due for release on Dear Deer Records 3/08/2020. 

This album takes him back to his progressive days, taking inspiration from new and old,  the album will definitley raise a few eyebrows.

DJMag in Spain gave it a 7.7 and said it was a great album full of diversity, supported by John Digweed, Anthony Pappa and many more.

More releases are already in the pipeline for labels such as 1980 Recordings and Holy Grail Music.

Tomas Ryan Bayley aka TOMB is a 31 year old DJ/producer originating from Nottingham and based In Bristol. From the ridiculously tender age of 8 years old. Tom has had a unrelenting passion for the highest quality electronic music since as far back as 1994. Fueled with new music from two of his older half brothers (One of which is the UK trance DJ/Producer Corin Bayley)who would pass on mix tapes of theirs and other big DJ's of the time to him and his brother Arran. Once he had found the music had so much raw energy and emotion, he was hooked. It's this feeling from electronic music that still resonates with him today! From these mix tapes he would hear amongst many others everything from early trance/techno by now massive names like Sven Vath and Paul Van Dyk to early progressive house pioneers like Spooky. This education in dance music continued circa 93-2000. 

It was around this time in early 2000 that he and his older Brother Arran (Who had caught the bug too) took it upon themselves to purchase two Technics SL1210 mk2's and a mixer and the rest as they say is history! The two brothers both started out DJing together playing Progressive house/Trance and Techno and going to various club nights and festivals together. Then in 2002 at the age of 15 Tom got invited to play in the main room at the now Legendary defunct Country Club near Dorchester just a mile from his parents house. After having handed in a 90 min demo to then PR and Resident DJ Meri! Unfortunately for a lot of like people in that area including himself. The club got shut down not long after and the young lad was left with no choice but to play and learn his trade at Bars and smaller clubs in what was at the time his local town of Yeovil! 

Fast forward the last few years however and he has been living in Bristol, trying to forge a name for himself on the local club circuit. Over the years his tastes have evolved a little and the bpm's have of course naturally dropped too. However he has still stayed true to his taste. Describing his current sound as "nearly always being melodic or containing moments of melody, but never cheesy". His styles now ranging everything from Deep house to progressive/Tech house and Techno/melodic techno! Although Tom is always constantly looking for new/future sounds. He has always been known for not being afraid to throw in a classic or two into his sets/mixes. Something of which is a feature on his Emotive Soundscapes podcasts. These shows are most of the time a reflection of what music he is really digging each month, rather than a representation of his live dj sets when he plays out! Tom is currently a resident DJ for Bristol based house and techno night From Berlin With Love and Progressive nights Origin Presents and The Prog Lab. As well as being an ambassador/DJ for Progressive/tech House label Plethora Muzik. I recent years he has played regular gigs for many other promoters. Playing at clubs including Motion and more or less every smaller club/venue in Bristol. At the same time he has been bagging key sets in London for Electronic Sessions supporting the likes of Israel's finest export Guy J and also playing at EGG!


His main Inspirations DJ wise ranges from the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, James Zabiela, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Seaman, Sven Vath, Carl Cox.. etc!
