Tom & Collins, the dynamic duo from Mexico City, have carved a niche in the world of electronic dance music that is hard to ignore. Their journey began one night in 2012 when a casual back-to-back DJ set lasted almost eight hours, igniting a flame that would lead them to perform at festivals worldwide. With a blend of house, tech-house, and Latin influences, their music resonates across diverse audiences, capturing the spirit of their vibrant roots while defying genre boundaries.

Choosing the name “Tom & Collins” after a refreshing cocktail speaks to their playful yet deliberate approach to music. It seems fitting—an inventive cocktail of sounds that’s not only catchy but quintessentially their own. They’ve transformed tracks like ‘Give Me One Reason’ into hits that elevate classic melodies into contemporary dance anthems. Even so, the duo’s rise to fame isn’t just based on catchy tunes, but also on a commitment to authenticity. Their ethos is clear; they create their music and openly credit collaborators, though whispers of ghost production linger in discussions about electronic music.

Despite their successes, details about their personal lives remain shrouded in ambiguity. They may reside in Acapulco, but their nomadic lifestyle leads one to wonder if that home is merely a stop on a greater journey. Fans speculate about their ages—probably late twenties or early thirties—but in the world of electronic music, age feels less definitive than the soundscapes they craft. Their legacy is still unfolding, and as they continue to innovate, Tom & Collins embody the spirit of what it means to flow with the rhythm of life.

As the first Mexican duo to land a spot on DJ Mag’s top 100 list, their impact feels profound yet fluid. They remain intertwined with the evolution of EDM, but it’s the moments shared with their audience—the infectious energy during live performances—that imprint on the hearts of fans. Tom & Collins are not just artists; they are a celebration of life, sound, and the connections that music fosters.
