The most talked about and sought after record of 2006 Winter Music Conference in Miami that went on to become one of the stand out records of this years Ibiza session, Sharam?s ?PATT? (Party All The Time)? makes an apt arrival during the height of the Xmas season on Data, which is finishing the year on a high with another club smash after its recent hits including Supermode?s ?Tell Me Why? and Fedde Le Grand?s ?Put Your Hands Up For Detroit?.
?PATT? was a huge anthem from this year?s Ibiza season and has been ?front of box? for the world?s DJ elite for several months. Now signed to Data from Deep Dish?s Yoshitoshi label, it?s being tipped as one of the biggest club records of 2006. To date, Pete Tong has played it a staggering 8 times on Radio 1 (and made it an Essential New tune), with Jo Whiley, Sara Cox, Judge Jules (Tried & Tested) and Dance Anthems also on board plus Judge Jules having spun it twice on one show alone. Heavy support also comes from Kiss (Playlist), Capital, and XFM amongst others.

We caught up with one of London most exciting new talents Tommy Four Seven to chat remixes, Djing and what it?s like living the life a DJ.
Recently tipped by DJmag as ‘Gotta Be Big,’ it was evident from his first professional gig aged just 17 that the young DJ/producer Tommy Four Seven was going to be one to watch on the House and Techno scene. Now regularly playing at leading London venues like Turnmills, Fabric, Egg and The End alongside the likes of Josh WInk, Justin Robertson, FC Kahuna, Tom Neville and Mike Monday, things just keep getting better.
More recently Tom Neville was so impressed with Tommy’s latest showreel that he signed up his debut EP, ‘The Invisible’ to his label Love Minus Zero, describing Tommy’s work as ‘absolutely awesome.’ If that’s not enough he is already working on his debut artist album which he’s scheduled to release on Brique Rouge in early 2007.
Despite so much going on, this is only just the beginning for Tommy, . We caught up with him ahead of his latest London gig for Minimar @ Heaven.
