In 2024, the grind mentality is inseparable from being an artist, and the ascending DJ and producer, Thomas Garcia, understands this fact better than most. Not because of his extensive release catalog. It's not because of his impressive set of gigs at festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Nocturnal Wonderland, either. Thomas Garcia knows what it means to hustle because he knows what it means to give up; to hit rock bottom and pull himself up higher than he ever thought possible.  After falling in love with music from a young age, the woes of pursuing music became too much for Thomas. Despite the fact that it was all he wanted to do, he couldn't handle the uncertainty of artistry and he drowned his disappointment in alcohol. "Five years and a thousand beers later" as Garcia says in his own words, he was an alcoholic working at a finance job he hated. Being the lowest point in his life, he put in a huge amount of work to become sober. Once he did, the only vice he could remember was creating. Today, Thomas has developed an energetic yet moody sound that reflects his honest journey as an artist. His music is for the dancer, but it's also for the thinker. Deep grooves, minimal melodies, seething pads. Layers of rhythms overlapping one another to a form that feels simple, but is truly complex.
