Surf the Soundwaves with DJ Tom vs the Internet
Hey, I'm Tom 👋 and over the past four years, I've developed a way of live-mixing videos straight from the internet.
Audiences call it indescribable, so check out some of my highlights below, or on TikTok to get a feel for what I do. And I'll try to explain in words anyway:
My 'Tom vs the Internet' project is half DJ, half interactive performance art — it's all live in the browser, and I'm projecting my screen so the audience can follow along with what I'm doing!
It's like watching your friend click through YouTube videos, but as they switch tabs, the audio blends smoothly, turning it into a danceable experience. It's a real-time tapestry of sound and visuals, a live DJ set fused with a wide range of visuals from the internet through the browser.
I mix tracks but also get creative in involving the audience; so while they groove to the music, we can play a game of Wordle, join me on the projector via Zoom call, or leave the stage and have a Beyblade battle. Always getting the crowd involved!
I also mix in nostalgic videos from your childhood, iconic TV ads. It's the internet like you've never experienced — where digital content meets the dance floor. As I mentioned earlier, words don't do it justice, so have a watch:
Hope you enjoyed it. You can view the few of my sets on my Vimeo and shorter clips on TikTok. And if you have any suggestions for videos or things to include in my sets, please use the form below.
