Canadian DJ and producer Dafunkeetomato has moved up the ranks in a short time to becoming one of today's top jacking house artists. With over 25 years of experience as a DJ, it's safe to say he is no stranger to the scene. He grew up in the early beginnings of hip hop and house music in the late 80's and early 90's. He had many influences such as Bob Sinclar, DJ Dan, Dimitri From Paris, Derrick Carter and many more house kingpins. He got his first set of Technic 1200's at age 16 and after years of honing his skills in his basement and at various house parties he landed his first residency in 1997 at Zombies Nightclub in Saskatoon under the name DJ Tomas. His token blend of banging disco and funky house quickly gained him notoriety and soon became a crowd favourite leading Dafunkeetomato to start playing all around Canada opening for Hatiras, Chris "50,000 Watts of Funk" Anderson, Dave London, and many more top international acts.
In 2014 Dafunkeetomato decided to channel his style and energy behind the decks into creating his own music. His sound is tailored to match the vibe of his DJ sets, chunky and funky filtered disco. He has released music on multiple international labels, including Juiced Music, Ammo Recordings, Pocket Jacks Trax, Jack's Kartel Records, Whitebeard Records, and Bid Muzik to name a few. His tracks have been charted and played by some of the biggest names in the game, such as Stacy Kidd, Joey Chicago, Audio Jacker, JedX, Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax, DJ Tripswitch and many others. He has done remixes, worked alongside, and received praise and support from some of the world's best house producers in the game today such as Angelo Ferreri, Demarkus Lewis, Charles Feelgood, Felipe Avelar, Milty Evans, and Rueben Naess.
2017 was a great year for Dafunkeetomato, with numerous tracks hitting the Top 100, including his hit "Do It" which remained at the #1 spot on the charts for most of summer 2017. After so many releases it was no wonder he was named one of the top 100 artists of the year. In 2019 his first track of the year was a remix for Charles Feelgood and Felipe Avelar’s Bebop which hit #1 and remained there for over a month. As well as having multiple tracks hitting the top 100 throughout the year.
