About Wankers United

Enigmatic artist of the French electronic music scene, nobody knows exactly when Tom, alias Wanker, started to make noise and beats. He doesn’t even remember himself. Young electro b-boy fed by the Detroit electro/techno and the break dance from the Bronx, he got his first hardware machine in 1991, before shifting for a Personal Computer in 1999. Master of efficiency as a Dj (we’ve seen him sharing the stage with Gescom and 808 State), he plays a hypnotic set, voyaging between ghost city’s blank hills and Sheffield’s haze. But he’s especially staggering when it’s about producing a rich and elegant electronica. He likes to dissect, to disperse, then to patch together synthetic vibrancy. Keeping a brilliant way to use effect’s combination, giving to his music a deep and bright aspect, we’ve rarely met so far, whose his last album “Inpujia” is a perfect example. We found in his music some minimal and dub resonances, but also a perfection concern, following the road of an exigent electronica legacy. As a true activist of the music scene, he co-founds the label Plastiqassion, he takes also the name of MEDIACOMPOSER for side projects, joins Poborsk in reuter & belter , and get partner in the DoWo_kun. When he plays live, wanker’s united has no limit and takes us in a gnawing sound motion, hovering between unstructured minimal, scratchy rhythms, and fascinating textures. He also throws parties, remixes artists, and as an counter-culture artist, emerges in his productions and with Plastiqpassion a music discharged of its marketing duty, feeding beyondeverything the only ambition to give pleasure to the audience.
