Three releases, three years, one unmissable arc: start with the raw one, finish with her biggest platform landing.

Three minutes of foundation: Butts Bumpin' EP

Start here and you're hearing exactly where her sound comes from. The Liverpool underground scene and those 90s club records she grew up on: R.M Project, Direct 2 Disc. It's raw and it's fun, and it sets up everything that follows. This isn't the sharpened, polished version; it's the moment before Mixmag was paying attention.

The leap forward

Move to Welcome to the Party EP (Dansu Discs, 2024) next. The 90s influence is still there but the production has stepped up a level. This is the release that really put her on the map ahead of her Mixmag Breakthrough DJ win, and it's the midpoint between raw and refined.

Where she is now: Listen 2 Me

Finish with her newest release on Positiva (2025). Landing on Positiva shows how far she's come in a short space of time, and it's the clearest snapshot of where her sound sits right now. Three tracks, one journey.

Then: branch into the remixes

Once those three have hooked you, branch out into her remix work. Secondcity's I Wanna Feel, Confidence Man's Control It, MALUGI's Chiggy Chiggy and Dart & Kyle Starkey's Always & Forever all show different sides of her production in real time.

Where to catch her live

Tomlinson's reputation is built as much on her sets as her releases. She's played Amnesia Ibiza, the Warehouse Project, Fabric, Awakenings, Glastonbury, Creamfields, Secret Garden Party and Forbidden Forest. If you get the chance to see her live, take it. And keep an eye on Social Pleasure, her own club night which debuted at ADE 2025 to a sold-out room. That's where the next chapter surfaces first.
