Based in Munich, Germany, the producer, part-time DJ and Permanent Vacation label co-head Tom Bioly 
aka TB delivers new romantics, inspired by influences like The Cure’s „The Holy Hour“, Boards of Canada’s 
late 90s electronica, Miami Vice tropic percussion and Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks. Acid drops, string 
distortions, lushed melody bits, hushed robo vox and washed space guitars are being layered and sprinkled 
over machine beats and disco drums. 
TB’s first release "Invitation To Love" made it on John Talabot's vinyl-only Hiverned 10" imprint and was 
voted amongst the best 10" releases by UK Fact magazine. GROOVE magazine wrote "..entirely superb..“, 
about the follow-up EP "City Girl" on Permanent Vacation, of which the title track has been licensed to the 
independent film „All These Sleepless Nights“ by director Michal Marczak. 
In 2017 TB followed with “Heartbreak Hotel“, a double twelve-inch release with eight tracks of melancholic 
dance noir set in smoke-filled darkness. In 2018 he followed with the „Night Heat“ single, of which a RMXD 
EP with contributions by Gerd Janson, Sascha Funke, DJ Hotel and Bostro Pesopeo came out earlier this 
year.
