| I was wondering if anyone had the tracklisting or knew any of the tracks on this mix from back in the day. Any help would be appreciated. Funny thing is I came across Thomas Michael once and asked him if he knew the tracklisting and he couldnt even remember it. Thanks |

Hey dawg I am deeply mad that I got a track that he spun at a rave here in Colorado that needs identified and he was the one who spun it. I've been looking all over hell for it too but I can't seem to get it anywheres. i wish I could find Thomas Micheal and ask him to pull out his vinyls so I can write all the names of his vinyls down and then search for it on the web. Better yet i would portray my way into becoming his good friend and see if he could listen to a sample i have and identify it. You and i know damn good and well that if he played it he has it. And if he played it it could be identified through him. But anyways if you see him again portray your friendship onto him and get his phone number or cellphone/pager number and give it to me so i can contact him. He is my biggest idol in trance history making me his number 1 fan so as soon as I contact him i am going to get the track name and maybe the list for you too from Supernova. I'll do what i can on my end but please try to catch up with him again for me.
Thanks

i know you posted this two years back, but figured i'd answer it. better late than never. i've actually posted a track listing inquiry for Thomas Michael's "Sweet Candy Love" cd (to no avail). Here's the four tracks i know from "Supernova":
Side A:
"Radiate" by Brother Grim
"Moments in Love" by Art of Noise
Side B:
"Resonance" by Magic Alec
"Seven Days and One Week" by B.B.E. (last song on tape)
and that's all i have...
thomas doesn't know the names of the records he spins. i've asked him on several occasions. either that or he just doesn't want anyone to know what they are!

Well, for the record Thomas Michael is a resident deejay of Go Ventures and also spins at Tecknoclub in the lower bottoms of L.A. He is not really working on anything new lately as the scene is really just dying out in many aspects. However he is pretty hip on what he does spin these days; having gone from a trance legend to a hiphop triphop deejay spinning sexy house and all that other jazzy jazz . Anyways he's still good, still alive, still smokes a half pound a sez a week and is getting old, the guy is litteraly 37 years old give or take and has a bummed knee. I became his friend way back in the day and I see him every now and again when he comes to Colorado for a show or I go to L.A for one of his gigs. And the real truth is Thomas Michael is not hiding the fact of names on his vinyls, I mean think about it you got a couple thousand vinyls in a crateful of music and you try remembering what you spun at a party especially when your having a good time such as he does and usually are half baked such as we all tend to get sometime. It's not the deejays fault for not knowing what he is throwing down, but I tell you what, if he had the knowledge you are wanting yesterday knowing what he knows today I am sure what he would be spinning today would make anything from yesterday burn in hell. He's a history man not a procrastinator, everything he does marks history!
Anyways I will tell him whats up for you all as I see him quite often now that we are buds.
Peace out and NO HE DON'T REMEMBER JACK !

ambrosia, isn't that the dessert with orange and marshmellows?
that's odd that thomas spins for go ventures and tecknoclub, b/c i attend their events, but never see him anymore. he spun an okay set (and barely an hour long?!) at orion earlier this year. i'd told my new raving friends all about him and i was kinda disappointed in his set that night. maybe he just had an uninspiring night. i mean, every other time i'd ever seen him spin, he was amazing. i always felt like dancing to his uplifting progressive trance or hard house, etc. i think the last time before this year that i saw him spin was back in 2000 at club blue for magic wednesdays. i'd ask him after a set what the name of one of his records was and he never knew. LOL i'm still looking for the name of track 8 on his SWEET CANDY LOVE cd (listed below). that's one of my favourite trance cds ever. when i started raving back in 1998, every party that i went to had both thomas and christopher lawrence spinning. those were the days...
i don't feel the scene is dying out (at least not in L.A.). you've still got your massives, your underground parties, and your trance clubs. but i miss the progressive house they used to play in the back rooms when the hard trance would tire you out. :(
he was spinning trip hop? that's cool. i actually made some trip hop compilations on cd that were very popular with my friends.
take care,
DJeW

Hey RAVEBALLS I will have to bust out the old cds of Thomas Michael and listen to his stuff and see if maybe I can re-evaluate them and give you a rundown of the tracks on the cd's. I have Sweet Candy Love, The Serpent & The Rainbow, Thomas Michael Yellow Cd, Thomas Michael Live @ Hardrock Cafe Las Vegas and a very few of his promo/white labels. I got the cd's from a website that carries all the rarities and hard to find trance cd's. I will have to look up the site and get that to you too just incase you don't have it. I want to say the site is www.pureacid.com and in the myst of the site you will find advance search, just type Thomas Michael in the search string press go and you'll find his cd's!
Well RAVEBALLS I got to bounce out okay! I will see you on the flipside and if you know the track listings to some of these cd's feel free to leave them on the hub okay.
Peace & Love

Hey Raveballs, is there anyway you can get those cd's online! Like burn from cd using Windows Media Player? I need Audiogasm, and a few others from you! I am willing to tell you where you can get them online so that I can download them from you if you wish! I need Audiogasm the most. I love that cd and I can't find it anywhere, so if you could upload it online I will tell you where you can make the drop so I can grab em from you. Please email me at [email protected] or IM me on aol at Str8ghtKlownin23. It would be great to talk to you there since this is a hub and I don't want to flood it. Maybe if you hook me up with some of his stuff I can send you one of his promo's never released called Rollergirl.
Well hit me up online at aol or email me a way to talk to you and I will talk to you there.
Peace & Love

| i can't upload anything, as i have dial-up and can't upload at work. but i can burn them for you and mail them your way. is "rollergirl" a mix cd he did of trance? now if you want any of my TAPES on cd, that'll take a bit more work. i just got a home stereo cd burner that i can burn cassettes (and vinyl!) onto. so the 90 minute "audiogasm" tape would have to be put on two cds. and those "music only" blank CDRs you have to buy are four times as expensive as ordinary computer CDRs. so anyways, let me know what you think. i did an "advanced search" on pureacidmixtapes.com and only TWO thomas michael items showed up! up that possible that everything else is sold out? grooveriders in sherman oaks (where mena used to work) might have more old cassettes by him, but i'm not sure. i'm okay with using the bulletin boards since we're still talking within the subject heading. i don't think we're going to flood anything being that it's been two years since this link was used. but you're free to email me if you prefer. [email protected]. |

supernova is my favorite "recorded" mix of any dj ever. i've been wanting a tracklisting forever too. i would buy every record off this if i had the chance but there's no tracklisting known of anywhere except for in mr. thomas michael's head i guess.
i especially want to know what the record with that "control" sample is called. i so want to know any tracks on it actually.
on a sad note i probrably will never hear it again. a few years back i left it at a house party and poof it was gone.
can anyone help me out. i'll pay money for a full tracklisting or even a dubbed cassette copy of this amazing tape.
i actually met thomas michael on the day i bought that tape way way back when at grooveriders in sherman oaks back in like 1996. that's the only time i've ever seen him. one day i'll hear him spin i hope, if he still does. i haven't heard any news about him in awhile. |

Here's the four tracks i know from "Supernova":
