 To the general public, the face and name of Thomas McIntosh (a.k.a. Thomas Mac) may not mean much, but they definitely strike a chord in the minds of countless people involved in Chicago’s music scene. He is considered by many on the circuit to be one of Chicago’s hidden treasures. Thomas was introduced to deep house in 1983, sparking a curiosity that would ultimately lead him down a path of constant creativity and musical redefinition. He bought his first electronic keyboard while taking lessons, but rather than practice the traditional pieces, he would bring his Casio to school and to track meets so he and his “crew” could perform songs by Jamie Principle, Mainline, First Choice, and other popular artists. Thomas eventually declined further piano lessons and opted to learn to deejay so that he could be around the music he loved. As he honed his skills on the turntables, he was introduced to a revolutionary piece of production equipment called the 4-track. He added it to his arsenal, and began making house and acid tracks that would become signature tracks when he would spin. In 1998, Thomas joined forces with Mario McQuay, eventually forming Snak-Pak Productions, a deejay team that found themselves busy spinning almost every weekend for 3 years straight, mainly on the college scene. Currently, he has partnered up with Ricky Bradshaw to form “Elementz,” a production/remix/deejay team. They are becoming known for their personalized sound and their “tag-team” sessions.
