Heart Can Still Somersault

Here is my mix for Bicep's FMB Mixtape series. The whole thing takes place within a range of 130 – 140 BPM and is dancefloor focused. I wanted to keep it cohesive and go energetic/heavier in parts. Plenty of unreleased tunes from me and my friends, and also lots of bassy four-to-the-floor bits that I’m playing atm alongside some older music and a tinge of techno stuff. Let me know if you're feeling! Happy listening :)

I've been a huge fan of babyxsosa for a while, and have been wanting something of hers I can play out, so I made this :)

I’m a huge fan of this band, and of Michelle Zauner as a musician, and author, so I’ve had this one on my list to make, was just waiting for the right musical idea to arise first. I remember I made the drums on the train to Manchester in November or something, and initially it was just going to be some rolling minimal thing, then when I returned home I recorded in the bass and it fully changed the direction, now it’s kinda an anthem.

I've decided to put out some more edits. Here is the first one of 2024

It's my remix of Caroline Polachek - Pretty In Possible. I’m a huge fan of her music, and wanted to make something simple but clubby that I could play out.

If you've seen me DJ you will have heard this

Thanks for the support, and listening over the last year.

Enjoy!

Caroline Polachek - Pretty In Possible (Tom VR Edit)

Siglo X is a kaleidoscopic mess of jumbled synths and sound design tied together with pounding club drums. My approach was to aim for something super bright and melodic, the sonic equivalent of glitter, and then place it back on the dancefloor so I can play it in my sets.

Charli XCX - 360 (Tom VR Edit)

Hi, 

Here is my first self release on a new personal label called ‘Heart Somersault’. 

I'm using this as a way to share my tracks that are more hard hitting/anthemic, and geared towards the club. 

I've been testing these all over in shows for the last year, and they had a real impact on my recent tours. 

The approach here is DJ friendly, underpinned by feelings of euphoria that make the heart spin. Textural Techno!

Hi all,

Heart Somersault Radio is a new personal mix series from me ft unreleased music, club tracks, new productions, and DJ sets I’ve recorded live at shows.   I’ve been in more of a dance floor headspace for a while, so decided to do something with that energy.

Enjoy,

Tom

Heart Somersault Radio 01 (Tom VR)

Heart Somersault Radio Episode 2.

The feedback from the first mix has been lovely, and it’s been cool leaning into my more clubby bag, and the stuff I play out. 

Inside you will find… unreleased me, technoey bits, and a new remix for a friend which is coming out soon. You can listen on YouTube and Soundcloud. 

Enjoy and if you’re listening and feeling it hmu
