Atmos is a psychedelic trance artist from Sweden whose real name is Tomasz Balicki. Tomasz is originally from Poland. He is most famous for his 1998 hit, "Klein Aber Doctor", and his 2001 hit, "The Only Process", each released on various compilations. He is also releasing under the alias Atmotech It all started in the early seventies when the young boy saw television for the first time. Instantaneously fascinated by different soundtracks and jingles, a deep interest for music was born. After a short bedroom dj career, Tomasz decided to produce his own music and thanks to a natural talent, he released his first single in 1996 on Pablo Gargano’s label, EVE records. It sold very well and gave him both zest and confidence to strive for more. His influences from electronic and ambient-rock music like JM Jarre and Pink Floyd quickly formed a style that was to make him one of the most successful producers in hypnotic and atmospheric trance. Under this trademark, Atmos had released various albums, loads of singles and has countless appearances on compilations but more important - 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. Tomasz has also been touring all parts of the world, to every possible kind of event, for well over 12 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. Atmos, along with other Swedish artists like Noma, Vibrasphere and Human Blue, was responsible for introducing and popularizing the new, minimal and progressive, form of psytrance circa 2000. His music is characterized by a combination of deep pulsating beats and basslines with subtle, understated melodies and soaring atmospheric sounds, as heard especially on his debut album "Headcleaner". Atmos' 2004 "2nd Brigade" album seems to target a more mainstream audience than his previous work, and is a good example of progressive dance music.
