their own biography
the whole biography
Engulfing himself in the underground music scene since the early 90's, Tommy Lexxus is no slouch when it comes to production and performance. From the heyday of Math Rock, Post Metal and Reggae, to the prologues of Drum & Bass, Dubstep & Grime. Before becoming a Junglist, Tommy played drums and bass guitar in several well known bands. He opened for Green Day when he was only 15, and was a founding member of Math Rock legends Upsilon Acrux. The Sub FM host has always kept his record crates very diverse and full of bass weight. Tommy's mixing skills are innovatively amusing while sophisticatedly cerebral. His sets are consistently entertaining, no matter the style or setting. Tommy Lexxus founded Bassism in 2005 as a warehouse rave in San Francisco. Fast forward to present day, and we find he and the Bassism crew stationed comfortably in Berlin with global distribution on Virgin. 2026 01 Jan • Drums @ Work • Drugstore 07 Jan • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 17 Jan • Critical Sound + Bassism • Gretchen 20 Jan • Bassism 30 • Uglydub 03 Feb • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. I 04 Feb • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 17 Feb • Bassism 31 • Arøund The Way 03 Mar • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. II 04 Mar • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 01 Apr • Bassism Radio on Sub FM 07 Apr • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. III 25 Apr • Recycle + Bassism • Gretchen 29 Apr • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 05 May • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. IV 27 May • Bassism Radio on Sub FM 30 May • Playaz Anniversary • Edelfettwerk Hamburg Bassism Crew Berlin: Tommy Lexxus VILIFY DJ Quien Hawt Coco SCHNITT Jimi Handtrix Grzly Adams Migz Uglydub MC Do Arøund The Way Zhi MCTheir RA profile lists SubLife Recordings and Bassism Records.Recently at Humboldthain Club, Gretchen, Mauerpark · often with Mc Jamie White, BOX2:BASSISM, N'Dee (Recycle/D), none of them here that night
