About
TMSV has been a mainstay in bass music for more than 15 years. One of the Netherlands' most prolific underground artists, the catalog Tomas Roels has built over time proves his ability to produce a wide range of styles and genres within the bass music spectrum, earning him DJ and radio support from some of the most prominent names in underground electronic music.
TMSV's first high profile string of releases on Bristol-based label Box Clever was the start to his initially mostly Dubstep-focused career, after which he proceeded to move around a variety of styles including jungle, that 160 BPM slowfast weirdstep sound, drum & bass and 130 BPM club music, working with labels like Deep Medi, Cosmic Bridge and Deadbeats.
In 2017 he launched Perfect Records, a label focused on embracing the beauty of imperfection, which after initially revolving mostly around his own music, has brought on artists like Danny Scrilla and Arkham Sound, with more exciting additions to be announced soon.
Notable tracks by TMSV include 'Interloper' (Deadbeats), 'Abyss Watcher' (Sub Merchants), 'Haze VIP' (Artikal), 'Olifant' (White Peach), and releases on Perfect Records and its sister label Broken, such as 'Modification', '2094', 'Unforeseen Consequences' and 'Prism'.
TMSV has built a reputation as an exciting, eclectic DJ as well. Not content with just playing 90 minutes of the same thing or mixing one banger into the next, he varies tempos and styles and isn't afraid to throw a curveball, even when he's only playing his own music. His chops behind the decks have brought him to Europe, the US and Canada to play clubs from Helsinki to Lisbon and from Seattle to Krakow, and festivals like Bass Coast, Shambhala, Outlook and Wildeburg.
