Thomas Barnett Vinyl

Thomas Barnett is a musician, DJ, songwriter, producer, & remixer born and raised in Detroit.  His early work as a founding member of the ground-breaking group, Rhythim is Rhythim, contributed to and helped establish the signature sound of Detroit Techno.  In early 1987, when he was still a teenager, Barnett released “Nude Photo” on Transmat Records, which unknowingly secured his place in dance music history.  He also has many releases using different aliases like Groove Slave, Subterfuge, Paris, & Four313 (with Blake Baxter).  Barnett’s music has appeared in commercials, movies, clubs, radio, an adult film, and his hit 'Do Bionics Crystalize?' appeared on Richie Hawtin's groundbreaking CD/DVD titled 'DE9 Transitions' released by Nova Mute. Working in the studio & running his own label, Visillusion Records (started in 1996), keeps him busy when he is not out on the road DJing.
