T.D.J.

Tom Bucher’s interest in music started with the age of 3, drumming on his mother ́s cooking pots. He took his first drum lessons when he was 9. Later he became the drummer of a rockband. In 1993 a good friend sparked his interest in electronic music. Soon professional DJ performances followed. At first he played Techno and Trance. Later on, however, he preferred House which is still his favorite style of music. In 1998 he made his first attempts at composing electronic music together with his cousin, Florian Schmidt (✝), who taught him the basics of producing on the computer. In addition, Tom and his close friends, Michel Niepenberg and Jacek Darnowski, founded Tojami Sessions. They produced and released their first vinyl under the label In Between Entertainment in 1999. Releases on Separe, Raum...Musik and Dessous Rec. followed. In summer 2006 Tom established new contacts within the House scene and met Christos Kessidis. Sharing the same love for House music with elements of Chicago House, Disco, 80 ́s, Soul, Jazz, Funk and Detroit Techno, they started a prolific partnership. Since 2008 Bucher & Kessidis (2008 - 2019) have been publishing on the record label Plastic City and since 2010 also on Etoka Rec.
Additionally, Boomin ́System and White Lotus Club Rec. released several House and Chillout tracks under Tom ́s project name T.D.J. in 2007.
