Tom Central

I'm a DJ, producer and record collector living in London. As an advocate of eclectic DJing, I play disco, boogie, soul, house, garage, hip hop, electronic and jungle sets, spinning at London’s largest venues over a 20+ year DJing career. Gigs have taken me across Europe and beyond, most recently out to Russia.

I started life on the decks in 1997 after hearing jungle for the first time whilst studying in the Midlands. Moving to London, I became a resident DJ on pirate radio station Abyss FM before taking to London clubs promoting drum n bass and broken beat nights in Soho. I then joined Lex Records’ as resident DJ and moved on to form Keep Up! Records in 2008.

For the past five years I have represented Soundcrash as resident DJ. This has taken me to KOKO, Oval Space, The Forum, The Troxy, Electric Brixton, Village Underground, and XOYO supporting artists such as: Bonobo, The Gaslamp Killer, Roots Manuva, Mala, The Bug, LTJ Bukem, Roni Size and many, many more. I've performed at Soundwave Festival on 5 occasions.

In January 2017, I founded the Shapes of Rhythm label and radio project with fellow DJ and producer BodyMoves and we released the Dual Thought EP together which was supported by Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft and DJs across NTS and Balamii. We're readying our fourth release on the label scheduled to drop Autumn 2017. I have a monthly radio show on Pyro Radio and gig as much as I can.
