Tom Newman has been an integral part of Detroit's electronic music scene since the very early 1990's.

Taking on alias's such as Acid Pimp, and Poker, Tom is responsible for classic releases on Cheshire, early D-Records, as well as new releases on labels such as Snork Enterprises. In 2002 Tom started Friction Detroit, famous for their weekly event at Detroit's famous The Works nightclub, which brought the best international artists to headline, and where Tom Newman had his first weekly residency. Tom continues to be a staple of the Detroit underground techno scene, working with promoters such as Paxahau and Blank Code.
