He produced electronic evergreens such as It..s our future and Back on plastic under the projectname AWeX or Tales of Mystery (DJ Tom & Norman), Cosmic Evolution (Microbots), Freedom of..Arpeggiators) or Wormhole (Tom Wax & Jan Jacarta).

Tom started Djing in 1988 as DJ Tom and made his first expieriences behind the wheels of steels around his hometown Darmstadt.

Since 2000 every 3 month he is the host of German wide Clubnight, a weekly radio & TV DJ mix show,which is specialiced in electronic music .

Since the beginning of 2004 Tom hosts his own weekly radio show on German radio station YOU FM every Thursday night from 9 to 11pm CET.

In 1991,when he still was in shool, he realized his talent and love for electronic music and released his first tracks in cooperation with his longtime mate Thorsten Adler as Microbots on Overdrive and R&S Records.
