STUDIO PERSONNEL:

Thomas Meracz – founder, engineer, editor, composer, cellist.

I was born in Furth, Germany to musical parents from Hungary. Emigrating to the United States, my family made their home in Los Angeles and worked hard to allow me to pursue my first love and passion: music.

My formative years were spent in classical training. I attended conservatory, studied music theory, piano and the violoncello privately and entered competitions around the country. I performed with orchestras, opera companies and also gave solo concerts as a cellist.

By my mid-teens, music had taken me around the world and an interesting thing was taking root within me: the more places I went, the more people I met and the more music I experienced, the broader my horizons became.

There was one sound in particular that I HAD to have in my life.

From the clubs of Vienna to the basements of Amsterdam, people were moving to a very different beat than what we played in a concert hall.

The world had evolved and so had its music! Electric, throbbing, relentless, this was the sound that fueled and drove hedonistic dancing late into the night.

By my mid-twenties, I made a break with my path and never looked back. My mission in life was to make electronic dance music. I collected vintage synthesizers and drum machines and learned all of their nuances. I built computers and worked two jobs: freelance mixer and editor by day- dance music producer by night. For six years I've been honing my skills, remixing, producing and playing live.
