STRADDLING the fine line between underground darling and big room, big tune dance floor arsonist, Timo Garcia’s numerous releases on the circuit's biggest and best labels have been well documented as he currently sits pretty at #323 in the latest global Top 1000 DJ poll. (Aug 1, 2011).
In a world when DJs and producers are ten-a-penny and the hype machines peddle mediocrity as if it were something special, it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. As such, the currency de jour is consistency and recommendations.
Timo’s consistency in the studio has culminated in Wonderlust Bug; his acclaimed debut artiste album with some of the world’s biggest names like Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Timo Mass and M.A.N.D.Y. queuing up to recommend it.
Timo’s latest release on Sharam’s Yoshitoshi imprint recently graced the Beatport Top 10 Tech charts for over five months with many world class DJs citing it in their personal Top 10’s. Defected meanwhile featured it on their In The House Brazil ’11 compilation.
The year 2010 also saw the release of a double CD, littered with remixes from Timo’s album tracks by production heavyweights that include DJ Pierre, Onionz, Eric Kupper and James Harcourt. It is a testament to Timo’s calibre that such big names are ready to remix his work and is a pleasant shift from him doing the remixing. His deft touch can be heard on remixes of such luminaries as Leftfield, Justice, DJ Pierre, Louis Vega, Robert Owens, Coldcut, Danny Howells and Ian Brown. He is constantly on the lookout for ways to add his inimitable sound to wide-ranging projects including a 15-track ambient album under his new T Mo guise.
His infamy has spread among the label bosses who set the trends and create the future-heroes of our world. Yoshitoshi, OFF Recordings, Skint, Southern Fried, 303 Lovers, Nervous, Audio Therapy, Dieb Audio, Cr2 & Toolroom are just some of the world-famous imprints who have clamoured to get a piece of Timo’s brilliance. And his recent collaborations with Jerome Sydenham, X-Press 2 and DJ Pierre all see their global release in 2011 too.
It seems incredible that Timo still has time to deejay around the world as well as working behind the scenes engineering and mixing down many other artistes’ projects in his North London studio. Last summer saw him play the main stage at London’s biggest dance music festival South West Four as well as headlining festival stages from Brazil to India; but this is a man who has both a dedication and a love for his craft and this is something that he exudes, whether behind the decks or in the studio.
