Tom Wieland

FREE SOULINC. Sound Voyage 7 Samurai, Panoptikum Arkestra. Vienna. Austria

Vienna club scene head honcho and worldwide record impresario DJ Tom Wieland endeavours started in the early 90 ́s when he left his mod fanzine career to become a DJ in Augsburg & Munich, South Germany. In 1989 during a trip to London to experience the thriving rare groove scene he opened up his music senses to leftfield rhythms and the alternative club culture.

By night when Tom is not touring the world as a freestyle, deep house, cosmic disco or rare groove DJ he was and is running some legendary clubs in the heart of Vienna. Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, Ame, DJ Spinna, Poets of Rhythm, Dj Krush, KJM, Nicola Conte , DJ Shadow or Henrik Schwarz, Tom shared the wheels of steel with them all.

By day he ́s working as music curator for the Vienna tourism board, hosting his Trans EuropaExpress radio show, A& R ́in for record labels , digging deep in the crates to unearth lost music genres such as 80 ́s Independent Euro Disco ( Elaste for compost records), Cuban 70 ́s Funk (Revolucion for freestyle records) ,Hungarian 60 ́s Modal Jazz (cosmic sounds. London) or obscure Kraut Electronica He is producer (together with Marc Frank) behind 7 SAMURAI & PANOPTIKUM IMPROVISATIONAL ARKESTRA covering the full range of soulful music from Detroit Techno to Spiritual Jazz and back to Cosmic Boogie. He has released almost a hundred tunes on compost records, deeper soul, déjà vu, schema, fine art, love monk, counterpoint etc.
