Deep Cliffs Weekender 2018 Thomas Tesar

Thomas Tesar ( Vienna, Austria)

All the madness started in the year 1987 when I was spending my holidays in England and went to a trip to London. There were these elder  and smart guys in my school. They told me what to buy and where to find it. That´s what I did. I was 14.

And so I bought Kent-Compilations, Mods Mayday, Dance Craze. Suddenly I was addicted with music, especially with Soul-Music. In the beginning of the nineties I discovered Electronic Music, Deep House, Acid Jazz and all their relatives. But Soul, mainly Modern Soul, never went away. Maybe my outfit changed, but the spirit stayed. After deejaying a lot in Vienna during the 90 ´s, mainly with electronic stuff, I started to get more and more in touch with the originals again. And then I started to play these tunes in my sets, even at House Partys - to a crowd which had just slicely to do with Soul-Music. And it worked! Then I started to visit Allniters again. Just to dance to all this great tunes. And still – my greatest passion is to dance! That´s why I´m here. Listening to all that great music, played by all these addicts and dance my shoes off. With the love of my life: „walking in rhythm, movin in sound…“ Ah, and yes, I´m still deejaying in Austria and thankfully I´m also deejaying at Deep Cliffs Soul Weekender 2018…
