Pets Recordings is proud to present the label debut from Panamanian DJ and producer Tom Sawyer. Titled 'Panama', the release is a vibrant, groove-laden homage to his homeland, capturing the heat, diversity, and joyful spirit of South America's electronic underground.
A veteran of the Panamanian scene, Tom brings a deep-rooted understanding of rhythm and atmosphere on the release. 'This is the flavor of the current electronic music scene in Panama,' he explains. 'Variety with groove and happiness all the time.' Each track was crafted for a different moment on the dancefloor, drawing from the rich musical backdrop of the '90s, the formative era of Panama's club culture.
The EP opens with 'FARAON', a Latin house burner laced with percussive synths and dancefloor-shaking energy. It's a peak-time cut that captures the intensity of a packed club in full swing. From there, 'DRUMA' shifts the vibe with an off-kilter, high-energy twist, blending unique melodic leads with driving rhythm, to create a curveball track that resets and ignites.
Rounding off the release is 'SAME THING', a deeper, more hypnotic affair. Blending tribal grooves with a progressive sensibility, it's the kind of track that builds patiently, perfect for early set storytelling or transitional moments.
Tom's approach to DJing is evident throughout the EP: a steady build, a strong groove, and a sense of connection with the floor. 'I always play like this,' he says. 'Keeping the groove flowing from the warm-up, and letting it build to wherever the people want to go.'
With 'Panama', Tom Sawyer offers a vibrant showcase of both his country's musical heritage and his own vision for the dancefloor. A must-listen for those craving colour, character, and serious groove.
