Tastemaker to tastemakers and musical-icon, Tommie Sunshine is renowned for his reputation of being consistently ahead of the curve while still standing firmly in the zeitgeist. Set apart by his iconoclastic productions, he is regarded as one of today’s most prolific remixers with well over 300 commissioned remixes to date including Katy Perry, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Donna Summer, Santana & Fall Out Boy, and his original production career spans collaborations with such diverse artists as Junkie XL, Deorro, Arthur Baker, Felix da Housecat, The Partysquad, Rebecca & Fiona, Midnight Magic, Glowinthedark, Peaches, Kid Sister, Bart B More, Shinichi Osawa, The Disco Fries, James Murphy, Live City and many more. Tommie's often spoken about DJ sets have landed him on the main stage of Ultra Music Festival two years running, the Hard stage at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, Australia's Stereosonic, opening for Afrojack at Pier 94 on NYE, playing alongside Skrillex for his Brooklyn "Takeover" and an East Coast run of dates opening for Zedd. Whether as a producer, DJ, artist, dance music historian or social media provocateur Tommie brings a unique enthusiasm to his craft; one that is fueled by his encyclopedic (if not obsessive) knowledge of underground and pop music spanning the last half-century. This brought him to moderate & sit on panels at Amsterdam Dance Event, South by Southwest, Electronic Music Conference in Sydney Australia, New Music Seminar, Ibiza Music Summit, CMJ, Winter Music Conference and EDMbiz. Sunshine has appeared on Katie Couric's day time talk show Katie, interviewed by Peter Jennings for ABC, appeared on BBC radio & TV, A&E, VH1, NPR and on occasion writes on sites such as Huffington Post known to cause an uproar in his firm stance on many issues most won't dare talk about.

HOUSE MUSIC HISTORY

In the 1980s, Club Zanzibar, a vibrant, eccentric nightclub where literally anything was possible emerged in Newark, New Jersey. Vincent Bryant was Zanzibar’s house photographer and the only person allowed to take photographs inside the club. He also took Polaroids of the patrons, who bought them for $5 apiece. Bryant kept some of the outtakes, but the majority went home with people as souvenirs of their wild nights at The Zanz. Read more via The Newest Americans

“You say you'll change the constitution, well, you know. We'd all love to change your head. You tell me it's the institution, well, you know. You better free your mind instead.” - @thebeatles @johnlennon Revolution (at Streets of New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVRbRaO3WD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

balloon animal virtuoso & all around humanitarian Andy Ngo missed my point about this not being a random shooting. I won’t bore you w/ the brain trust of comments from his disciples but you can enjoy the comment I left in response that may make more than a few of his devotes hilariously angry. 😤😡🤬 (at Nashville Tennesse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqUPvkXrhRE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I turned 52 today & it’s been a wild ride. I had an absolutely incredible weekend alongside great friends. this is what life is all about. taking time to take care of yourself w/ the people who care the most about you. the Rave continues & this Raver is ready for another 52 years of anti-establishment, subcultural Dance Music as I continue to Dance Among The Ruins‼️❤️✌️🚨✊ (at International Space Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRb22mu4VC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

11 years ago in 2012, @boysnoize threw a @boysnoizerecords party in Miami at the zenith of #EDM playing only Techno & sprinklings of House. we danced A LOT & it’s of the best parties I’ve ever been to down there since 1996. @dreamboat.dani & I shared the dance floor w/ @jakeshears & @anniemacmanus & the highlight of the night for me was when Alex dropped @fasteddiechicago’s Yo Yo Get Funky. in the last few slides you see an epic photo of Alex & I who knew each other since before his Boys Noize project & one of my good friends Jake Shears who apparently took all of the MDMA in the Northern Hemisphere that night. what a beautiful & perfect time. ❤️ (at Miami Underground Scene) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqKYdWSu7bZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
