What happens when you take an accomplished dancer who’s musically trained and unleash him in a studio? Well, if the conditions are right, you might get Aux 88. But not overnight… Tommy Hamilton had always been musically inclined. From the age of 5 he had played with drums, so the concept of the beat and rhythm were with him early on. While he was in high school in the early 80’s, influenced by his sister, he became a dancer.

Tom Tom, as he was to be known, became a member of a number of different dance groups, from the Cosmic Swingers, the Motor City Poppers, to the Devo Dancers. Things were going good, but Tom was looking for more. It was through the dance scene that Tom met up with BJ, another dancer who was looking for more. Together, in 1985 they formed Regime.

Regime was a live band that performed inspired cover versions of Cybotron and Model 500 tracks. It wasn’t so much that they were trying to break new ground by playing live—they knew no other way. MIDI and sequencers were virtually unheard of, especially to two high schoolers who simply had a love for the music. Though Regime soon broke up, Tom was sold on the concept of live electronic dance music.

Finding a kindred soul in Keith Tucker, who had been DJing as DJ K-1, they formed RX7. Not content to only do covers, RX7 also featured original tracks by both Tom and Tucker. They dominated a number of area festivals and for a time, there was even talk of them acting as tour support for techno godfather Juan Atkins’ Cybotron and Model 500.
