As we undertake our journey through the second half of 2018, so does Belgian producer and DJ Tom Hades, whose recent musical output has been nothing short of extraordinary. So far he has released solo EPs on OFF Recordings and Loose Records whilst also pushing out remixes for imprints such a SUBFIGURE, Unknown Territory and Filth On Acid.

Setting his sights on his next solo EP, Tom looks towards the Netherlands based Planet Rhythm to release the 4-tracker. Established in 1994, Planet Rhythm has consistently played an important role in the discovery of new and emerging Techno acts, releasing producers such as Matrixxman, Woo York amongst many more. Instilling a philosophy that ‘Techno is too big of a concept to limit itself to one approach’, it’s clear to see how Tom Hades fits alongside the current catalogue of artists.
