A revered and influential East Berlin techno producer and DJ, Thomas Schumacher started his DJ career around 1987, shooting EBM records including Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, and Skinny Puppy. When he visited the iconic Dorian Gray club in Frankfurt in 1989, he fell in love with Frankfurt techno and started adding Der Böse Mann and Konzept to his set. He then introduced the Frankfurt sound to Bremen by hosting his Two Tribes Parties at the Crash and started incorporating tracks of Detroit's techno legends to his sets.
DJ Thomas Schumacher's debut single 'Ficken?' was released in 1993 on Pedo Beat Records. Subsequently, he signed with Bush Records, Proximate, Confused Recordings and Elektrochemie LK. In 1998 he launched his label, Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten. His second album, Home, was co-produced by Stephan Bodzin and recorded in 2006 with vocalist Caitlin Devlin. The track 'When I Rock' was a big techno success and gave the producer the finances to start up his own business. Schumacher released Electric Ballroom EP in 1999 and his second album Home was released in 2006, co-produced by Bodzin.
