DJ T. PRES. UNITED UNDER THE BALL – 30 YEARS OF DISCO
| A true labour of love, the tracklisting of this compilation assembles the gist of DJ T.’s musical knowledge, distilled from 25 years of DJing and a deep love of disco. In addition, the project serves as an homage to a format that has become almost extinct in the current digital age: the genre compilation. At Beatport T.’s effort met with an enthusiastic response – a cool to month after release, the compilation’s tracks still populate the genre charts of the platform’s indie dance/nu disco section. |
DJ T. REMIXES ROLAND CLARKE’S “I GET DEEP” & MARIO & VIDIS’ “CHANGED”
| Not about to stint on the goods, T. also plans to unleash remixes of two major club anthems – while the first, a rework of a key classics of house history (in DJ Le Roi feat. Roland Clarke version) has already seen the light of day, remix #2 – a new take on DJ T.’s favourite 2011 release – is currently in the works. |
THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE REMIX EDITION
| For DJ T., 2012 kicked off with as much excitement as the end of 2011 had held in store for the artist, DJ and producer. Following the success of his third album, “The Pleasure Principle”, its four singles and a recently completed global tour, DJ T. rounds off his album cycle with the long-overdue release of his “Remix Edition” of “The Pleasure Principle” in February. Now, fans of hits like “Sense” or “City Life” can look forward to eleven further interpretations and five a capella versions of the album’s infectious tracks. |

“The Pleasure Principle” LP
His last longplayer „The Inner Jukebox“ and his celebrated mix-compilation
for the FABRIC-series is still in our ears, but don’t expect him to rest on
his laurels: DJ T. just re-emerged from a 9-months production lock-in with
his new studio partner in crime, Stefan Eichinger aka LOPAZZ.
The glorious result, his third album called “The Pleasure Principle,” will see
the light of day on Get Physical Music in late March 2011. Besides several
instrumental numbers, the work boasts vocal collaborations with the likes
of Dave Aju, Jaw (dOP), James Teej, Khan, Nick Maurer & Cari Golden.
The album’s first single, “Burning,” will feature remixes by Art Department
and Redshape .
In order to promote the new album, DJ T. will embark on a new world tour,
kicking off with release parties at Miami’s WMC and several cities across
Europe. Scheduled to last from April to December 2011, DJ T. will focus on
Europe during the first five months of the tour (April – August), followed by
the rest of the world until the end of December.

Biography
Whether DJing in his hometown of 5 years, Berlin, gigging internationally, T.’s sets are invariably stirring and extraordinarily varied. T. is no style fascist, nor is he a slave to trends; he is a bass- and groove-addicted club historian, with a firm grasp of the contemporary. His sets turn 25 years of electronic music history into one finely rendered journey, transforming the links between genres and ages into a truly physical experience, whether he’s capturing the peaktime party spirit, or sending early morning crowds into veritable delirium with one of his famed marathon excursions. T. embarked on an exhaustive 9-month world tour in the summer of 2009 with The Inner Jukebox, and drew on his journalistic background to document the experience, writing a weekly tour diary for online electronic music magazine Beatportal. Invigorated and inspired by his extensive travels, T. channelled that kinetic energy straight back into creativity, undertaking an intensive period of writing and production in early 2010. With new production partner Stefan Eichinger aka LOPAZZ, DJ T. devoted the greater part of the year to Eichinger’s Heidelberg studio, and the resulting album Pleasure Principle – due for release in spring 2011 – is T.’s most accomplished work yet.
