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.

Record label showcasing underground UK culture.


The coming together of two people from different corners of the globe can often spur incredible and unique results. The journey of Council Work frontmen Tom Frankel & Dayne Harper speaks volumes for that very instance. With Tom growing up in West London and Dayne originally coming from Zimbabwe, you already have a potentially boundless pool of cultural influence as far as music is concerned. The duo comes equipped with an interesting story, one that follows an unconventional path but has been the catalyst for what is quickly becoming one of the most prolific pairings in the UK’s underground electronic music scene.

With a sonic palate inspired by a plethora of revolutionary artists from genres spanning Garage, House, Jungle, Breaks, Drum N Bass and Hip Hop; Frankel & Harper are carving a delectable path into the underground with their infectiously varied audio signature. Championing a delightfully unparalleled ‘sound’, the duo is the end product of several years individually bubbling up through London's club circuit combined with a relentless work ethic and seemingly limitless studio hours.

Quickly gaining momentum as an established tag team, Frankel & Harper have already lodged impressive releases on iO Mulen’s ‘OldiVibes’, as well as Fraise LDN and their burgeoning Council Work imprint. Already attracting an impressive amount of attention, the duo has seen their works receive a firm thumbs up by none other than Loco Dice, Ben UFO, Call Super, D’Julz, Joy Orbison, Todd Edwards, Fumiya Tanaka, Seb Zito, INSTINCT and Fabe among others.

Just as impressive as their production resume, the pair have also graced many of London’s most revered club spaces over the last decade. Gigs at Egg London, Fire, Tobacco Dock, The Cause, O2 Academy Oxford, XOYO and Brixton Jamm making up just a mere few of their most notable features - which has seen them support the likes of Skream, DJ EZ, Alec Falconer, Harry Wills, Pangaea, Mike Millrain, Subb-an, Julian Perez, The Martinez Brothers, Luciano, Enzo Siragusa, Archie Hamilton, Martin Buttrich and many more.

Using the success of their Council Work imprint - which has already seen a commendable level of support including No. 1 spots on Beatport and Deejay.de, along with being featured in some of Pioneer DJ’s recent product launch videos - the duo are on a warpath, void of the possibility of pigeonholing and aiming for dizzy new heights with every release.
