I used to love watching guys like Tyler Stadius, jay tripwire, tom Thomas. dj ali, mixing so seemless and flawless. house music changed my life in a huge way.

........................................ ..................................

Tom’s love of music was obvious at a very young age; while his peers were busy playing Nientendo, Tom was playing Frank Zappa records on his dad's Technics sl-1000. TJ's passion for music lead him to the drum kit, where his early rock and jazz influences were on display full throttle. Tom's desire to expand his musical horizons introduced him to hip-hop and Graffiti, which consumed him until the day he got his copy of the seminal electronic album by Tyler Stadius, "Fabric 06". Things were never the same after that...

Tom Jeffrey emerged into Vancouver's underground house and techno scene in 2006 as TJ Hooker, bringing with him a captivating style of house and techno that has set him apart from the rest of the crowd, especially in Vancouver's underground electronic music scene. In just four short years, he has already dominated numerous clubs and parties with his diverse collection of music. From tracks that are deep, dark, and druggy to twisted, bass driven industrial sounds that generate an incomparable vibe on the dance floor. Tom is also an acute selector of Detroit techno, rare groove, and deep house. His diversity of timeless music allows Tom to play at any venue and to please any crowd.

As a resident of Hollywood Fridays at the Lotus Sound Lounge, and Open Studios, he is also the man behind Vancouver's most successful underground warehouse parties under the name of Subversive. TJ Hooker has had the opportunity to play alongside both local and international talents such as Evil Eddie Richards, AdultNapper, Deepchild, Alland Byallo, Limacon, Jay Tripwire, Mieka Du Franx, Tyler Stadius, Scott W and Mike McSuede.*

Tom's passion to take people on an unparalleled journey through his masterful mixing and impeccable track selections has composed a dedicated fan base which thrives on the unmatched feeling he creates in his sets. His vision to bring people together through his underground grooves ensures that wherever TJ Hooker is, the night is sure to have a memorable vibe like no other.
