TCTS is sam o'neill, a house and pop-house producer who was born in manchester and is now based in london.

he first broke through with releases on greco-roman and MTA records before his single Do It Like Me (Icy Feet) feat. sage the gemini and kelis reached number 39 on the uk official dance singles chart in march 2017.

in 2025 he teamed up with the us distributor gamma to launch his own imprint, TACTICS, with five new singles planned across that year on the label.

I guess as the scene around you shifts, and sounds get pushed in various directions you can't help but be influenced by it.
