Since first stepping behind the decks as a youth in Northern Ireland, Thomas Patton has delighted in sharing his love of feel-good house music with discerning listeners across the globe. From the old school to the new, Thomas is a sonic time traveller, spinning uplifting waves of love, light, and spirit for the old souls and the young at heart.
As a child, Thomas’s musical sensibilities were shaped by pop, rock, and soul legends like Bowie, Queen, Donna Summer, Le Chic, and the Isley Brothers. Later, coming of age as a club music enthusiast and then DJ during the golden era of the UK club scene, he continued to be influenced by pioneers like Marshall Jefferson, Todd Terry, Derek May, David Morales, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Sasha, and Digweed, among others.
Since those early years, Thomas has mixed it up in a variety of venues across the UK and the EU. Looking to expand his personal and musical horizons, in 2004, Thomas headed East to explore China’s underground circuit. Living in Beijing for nearly 15 years, Thomas honed his craft, mentoring other DJs and performing at local hot spots like Lantern, Aurora, Skool Bar, and DaDa, among others.
Now settled back in the UK, Thomas produces upfront house sets live and direct every week for Portsmouth Underground Radio (PuR). Tune in to his shows: Tuesday Choonz on Tuesday nights from 9:00-10:00PM, and Hot Mix Sessions on Saturday nights from 20:00-21:00. Thomas plays Progressive, Deep,Jackin and Uplifting House, with a pinch of Breaks, and Garage in the mix, sharing his eclectic library of vintage and modern musical art with you.
