Tom Trago

Tom Trago is part of the new school Amsterdam producers. He is also an accomplished dj and is the Trago in Yuro Trago.
Raised on a steady diet of hip-hop and jazz, Tom Trago (1983) entered of study of contemporary music when he entered his twenties. Around this time he was also mentored his way into the Dutch club scene by a well-known local dj. Trago learned fast and his own dj career kicked off in no time.

Over the past five years he has played many clubs and parties both locally as internationally. His diverse music taste has made him appreciated in different scenes; from a block party to a rave…people get down to his sound. He is / has been resident for Kindred Spirits parties, Dekmantel parties, Parra Soundsystem and Rush Hour. He also initiated the 08Bar, a project where producers get linked up to each other and jam live to an audience.

Tom debuted with his 2006 single “Live With The BBQ”, which made it to Bob Sinlar’s Playboy Mansion CD. Since then he has released some singles and remixes which are as diverse as his dj sets.

With his studies finished and with ending some of his dj residencies, Trago has made way for himself to focus on his production. He spent most of last year in his studio to shape his sound. The first outcome of this since last years ‘Primary Roots’ (as Yuro Trago) is his new album ‘Voyage Direct’, which is an ode to his love for disco and house.

This year will see him promoting his new album as well as working on more production, both solo as well as collaborations. In the pipeline are a disco project with San Proper, a visit to the Carl Craig studios in Detroit to work on new Yuro Trago material and remixing other peoples material (watch out for his Phillipe Zdar remix on Cassius Records).
