Tom & Collins on Tour
The Mexico City DJ duo of Tom & Collins has played stages and festivals worldwide, including Tomorrowland in Belgium, Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and Hakkasan at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They have millions of streams spanning more than 60 countries and sit at No. 71 on DJ Mag's 2022 list of Top 100 DJs worldwide. Not an easy feat considering the thousands of DJs vying for a spot on the coveted list.
They've collaborated with several artists, including Rachel West on the 2018 fan-favorite "Only One," Elsa y Elmar on 2019's hit single "Que Me Siga (Malo)" and Cumbiafrica on their 2022 single "Se Va."
In an interview with Tanzgemeinschaft, the duo says, "Our music is for anyone who wants to enjoy and for everyone who wants to party." If you want to party with Tom & Collins, get tickets to see them when they come to a city near you.
Tom & Collins Live in Concert
The DJ Duo Tom & Collins, formed in 2012, is Jorge Corral and Juan Pablo Escudero. Friends since high school, they discovered their mutual love of EDM at a club Corral had started with friends. Corral invited Escudero to DJ one night, joined him in the booth, and their partnership began. They were regularly invited to play festivals in Mexico in just six short months. A couple of years later, they faced a choice -- go with a career in music or keep the jobs they already had (Corral was a lawyer, Escudero was in marketing).
When they decided to commit to music, they studied music production so they could produce a sound all their own. Collaboration is an essential part of the learning process for them, and, in an interview with Tanzgemeinschaft, they say, "Every time we learn something new, we feel like we know less."
They chose the name Tom & Collins because the drink was always in their riders when they started DJing. They added the "&" so people would know there were two of them.
Between them, their musical tastes range from rock and hip-hop to pop. They say their EDM musical influences include Flume, Disclosure, Gorgon City, and The Magician.
