DJ Tom Ato
Around the age of 13, Thomas Thibus, began playing in various punk and cover bands. After learning bass,guitar, and drums, Thomas began his venture into electronic music. With a free copy of Frooty Loops in hand, he started off. For years he worked with house,trance and techno. At the age of 17, Thibus got his first set of turntables. After a while of making , Thibus grew tired of making mash-ups of different artists, he felt that there were no more that he wanted to work with. So, He then returned to electronic music and is still working in that genre under the moniker of Tom Ato. Ato is great at what he does, which is making some amazing music.You can check him out at his myspace or official site in the links below.

Shath
With me spending my days listening to GY!BE, God Is An Astronaut, Explosions In The Sky, and other similar post-rock artists; I was delighted when I listened to Shath, another post-rock artist. The music here is incredibly beautiful. The first time I heard ” Losing Grip”, the latest album from Shath, I was stunned. Shath’s older music is more electronic than anything, but it does not come close to the greatness of the newest music. You can check it out at the link below and check out his other project Hornblow Junior.
