Jack Thomas
Thomas Jack is an Australian DJ and producer known for his summery, laid-back dance tracks. He coined the term tropical house to describe his sound in the mid-2010s and broke through with the 2015 single "Rivers." After taking several years off to travel the world and learn to sing, he returned in 2022 with the sleek, vocal-driven "Sandman."
Jack grew up on a dairy farm before moving to Sydney to study music production. He began releasing tracks around 2013. Inspired by deep house as well as acoustic rock and jam bands, his tracks heavily featured live instruments, particularly saxophone, flute, piano, and guitar, and generally had a relaxed, sunny, uplifting feel. Additionally, his tracks often featured samples of speeches; Jack noted Charlie Chaplin's closing speech from The Great Dictator as being particularly inspirational to him. He began using the term "tropical house" somewhat jokingly, but it stuck, and international producers such as Kygo and Klingande soon became associated with the subgenre. Jack began a podcast mix series called Tropical House, which featured guest mixes by Felix Jaehn, Bakermat, Robin Schulz, and others. Jack became well known across EDM websites for his original tracks such as "Symphony" and "The Final Speech" as well as his remixes of popular artists such as Of Monsters & Men and One Republic and house producers like Adrian Lux. His busy touring schedule brought him to clubs around the globe, causing Jack to refer to himself as "homeless," but he had spent a considerable amount of time in the United States, particularly in Florida.
After devoting much of 2014 to remixes (including his take on Gabriel Rios' "Gold") and live gigs, he released the single "Rivers" in 2015. The song became a hit in several countries, particularly Belgium, and several remixes followed, as did a version with Norwegian R&B duo Nico & Vinz. "Rise Up," with Jasmine Thompson, followed in 2016. In 2017, Jack released The Versus EP, which contained his remixes of songs by RY X and the Acid. Jack then took a hiatus for five years, residing in Costa Rica, Los Angeles, Australia, and New York. During his hiatus, he learned to sing, and his approach to making music changed. He returned in 2022 with "Sandman," a vocal-driven tech-house track.
