Tommy Spark’s makes music that is borne from manifestos of mechanised mayhem. Playing every note himself, he’s compressed every guitar clang, bass hum, key parp and tub-thump down to a tightly woven swathe of infectious beat-booming.

With the help of Arctic Monkeys’ and Foals’ studio-don Mike Crossey he awoke the inner-beast of his dance loops, with results that are most certainly a force to be reckoned with. Forthcoming single ‘She’s Got Me Dancing’ is a brazen culmination of Chic dance floor assult. “I wanted to make something direct and uplifting without being cheesy,” he divulges. “I wanted to make something that could connect with people in the way a DJ does with a club.”

It’s a mentality that’s carried forward into his live setup, where despite his to-the-point three-minute gems, he’s built a show that moulds the tracks together with set-building interludes and links.
