'''Tom Casswell''', better known as '''TC''' and also as '''Tommy Boy''', is an English [[drum and bass]] producer, singer and DJ.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.pksound.ca/pk-sound/pk-goes-backstage-with-tc/|title=Backstage with TC|last=Hughes|first=Casey|access-date=2018-08-13|language=en-us}}</ref> He left school and started making music inspired by the sounds of the Bristol scene and the music and atmosphere of St. Paul's, the area of Bristol where he grew up.
The first two releases from TC "Get It On" and "Make a Little Space" appeared on Bristol based label BS1 Records. His debut album, ''Evolution'', was released in 2007 on D-Style Recordings. TC also presented the latest edition of ''Watch the Ride'', a compilation CD released several times a year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/TC-Watch-The-Ride/release/1477975|title=TC* - Watch The Ride|website=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2018-08-13}}</ref> [[Scratch Perverts]] and [[DJ Zinc]] have released them previously. His tracks "Deep" (featuring MC Jakes) and "Jump" have achieved critical acclaim in the rave scene. TC has made appearances on shows hosted by [[BBC Radio 1|Radio 1]]'s [[Zane Lowe]] and was regarded as a breath of fresh air in the drum and bass scene.
He is featured as a vocalist and an additional producer in "Plasticworld", a song on [[Pendulum (drum and bass band)|Pendulum]]'s 2005 album ''[[Hold Your Colour]]''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Pendulum-Hold-Your-Colour/release/494991|title=Pendulum (3) - Hold Your Colour|website=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2018-08-13}}</ref> (which topped 225,000 sales), along with other featured artist Fats. He was also a vocalist for the [[Sub Focus]] song "[[Rock It / Follow the Light|Follow the Light]]", which was featured in Douwma's self-titled album, ''[[Sub Focus (album)|Sub Focus]]''. His follow-up Sub Focus collaboration with Culture Shock, "You Make It Better", also features his vocals and was released on ''[[Torus (album)|Torus]]''. His 2013 single "[[Get Down Low]]" was released through [[Skrillex]]'s record label [[Owsla]] and entered the [[UK Singles Chart]] at number 183.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/20131208/7501/|title=Official Singles Chart Top 100 {{!}} Official Charts Company|website=www.officialcharts.com|language=en|access-date=2018-08-13}}</ref>
In 2014, [[DJ Fresh]] reworked Casswell's previously unreleased song "Make You Bounce" and [[Little Nikki]] added vocals. The product, "[[Make U Bounce]]", was released on 29 June as the third single from Fresh's forthcoming fourth studio album. Following its chart success, Casswell signed to [[3 Beat Records|3Beat]] for his next single "Everything for a Reason", released on 26 October. His collaboration with [[Wilkinson (musician)|Wilkinson]], entitled "Hit the Floor", was released in January 2015 through [[RAM Records]].
In January 2016, he played the world's first [[Dolby Atmos]] night, at [[Ministry of Sound]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ukf.com/words/dolby-atmos-the-revolution-of-the-sound-system/15029/amp|title=Amplify Dot - I'm Good (Ft. Busta Rhymes) (Dub Motion Remix)}}</ref>
TC's sophomore album, ''Unleash the Wolves'', was released on 8 July 2016 via 3Beat, and includes the single "Rep" (featuring Jakes). He was also the featured vocalist on [[Zomboy]]'s single "Saints and Sinners", released on 7 August 2017.
