Atmos – 10 Essential Tracks

Atmos is the project of Tomasz Balicki, a Swedish progressive Psychedelic producer originally coming from Poland. As a child, he was instantaneously fascinated by different soundtracks and jingles, a deep interest for music was born.

After experimenting on his own as a Dj, Tomasz decided to produce his own music and released his first single in 1998 on EVE records. At the time, even though Goa Trance dominated the scene, his revolutionary progressive Psychedelic and hypnotic vibes captivated a wide audience.

His music is characterized by a combination of deep pulsating beats and basslines with subtle understated melodies and soaring atmospheric sounds

His music is characterized by a combination of deep pulsating beats and basslines with subtle understated melodies and soaring atmospheric sounds. When “Klein Aber Doctor” was first played in the beaches of Goa in 1999, many considered this sound too simplistic, and in total contrast with what was being played at the time. Little did they know how much of an impact the track would have. In a sense, this was the beginning of the Goa Trance scene transformation that was going to happen for the years to come.

Tomasz, along with other Swedish artists like Noma, Vibrasphere and Human Blue, was responsible for introducing and popularizing the new Scandinavian wave of minimal and progressive Psytrance of the early 2000. Under this trademark, Atmos had released 6 albums, loads of singles and made countless appearances on compilations but more importantly – his music has been embraced, played and loved by such a broad spectra of people, ranging from the top 10 djs to aspiring bedroom djs all over the world. In 2013, he created his own label “Atmotech Recordings”, to facilitate the spread of his music.

Tomasz has also been touring extensively around the world, to every possible kind of event, for well over 20 years now and with great success. His sense for merging rhythm programming with delicate strings into a well-produced groovy sound is guaranteed to make everyone get down to the dance floor and that has made him an installment to count on in events all over the place.
