Tomasz Guiddo

Tomasz Guiddo – DJ, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, sound designer, radio journalist. Born in Warsaw, lived in Berlin, based in Shenzhen.

Being raised in Warsaw and Berlin, his musical career started at an early age performing in theatres as a young guitar prodigy. It soon became an addiction to music itself, where jazz and flamenco were the greatest of influences. His first music productions (while still attending primary school) were made using a PC and some very basic 'cut and paste' software. At the age of 15 he sneaked into the old Tresor club to experience something that he would never forget.

Around 2002 he reached out for some new sampling and mixing techniques and got involved in non-commercial club music for good. His first DJ experience he gained in Warsaw's underground clubs. In 2008 he became a member of the Warsaw Electronic Festival artists community playing an active role in the East-European experimental electronic music scene development.

Always close to the German electronic music scene he finally moved back to Berlin in 2011 and set his recording studio up in Prenzlauer Berg. A year later his house project – Manhooker – released the debut EP 'Wheels in Motion' ("Genius!" – De:Bug Magazine 01/02/2013) on Unterton/Ostgut Ton. Next releases and deals with the most influential record labels – such as Compost, Get Physical, Beats In Space, Sonar Kollektiv, Luv Shack, Connaisseur, Mule Musiq, Bordello A Parigi – followed.

Guiddo has presented his unique and eclectic mixture of house/techno/disco/nu-jazz in many of the most important clubs, art galleries and festivals around the world: Tresor Berlin, Berghain/Panorama Bar Berlin, Sisyphos Berlin, Kater Holzig Berlin, MoMA PS1 New York, Polish National Gallery of Art, T-Mobile Electronic Beats Festival Warsaw, Berns Stockholm, Oestre House for Sound Art Bergen, Wax Brussels, Casa Gracia Barcelona, Tempo Madrid, Cassero Bologna, Dada Shanghai, Arkham Shanghai, Pepper Club Shenzhen, Oil Shenzhen, Tag Chengdu, Woobar Bali, Kyo Kuala Lumpur, Elysium KL, Potato Head Hong Kong, Potato Head Singapore, Mustache Bangkok (and many many more!) performing as DJ or live using sequencers, synthesizers and processed instruments.

Since September 2005, he manages his own cyclic radio show - Input Output Putput - on RadioJazzFM (www.radiojazz.fm), presenting a fusion of rare grooves and electronic beats every Wednesday at 7PM(CET).

Recent collaborations include names like: Jamie Lidell, Louie Austen, Ursula Rucker, Jimi Tenor, Arnold Kasar, Georges Perin, Steven Hall (Arthur Russell/Loose Joints), Masia One, Niki Darling, Snax (Cpt Comatose), and more.

According to Mixmag he is "the man putting Shenzhen on the map (...) Tomasz Guiddo has been a major force in the storm brewing over there."
