Thermo

Thermo is Liubomir Skumov, born in Burgas, Bulgaria.
Thermo's first musical interests were mainly towards alternative and grunge music, e.g. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Tool as well as bands with more electronic sound such as Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers and Orbital. Thermo's interest in techno music started in 1998-99 inspired by the music of Ben Sims, Umek, Harcell, Ignition Technician, Marco Bailey, Cristian Varela and others.

In the year 2000 Thermo received his first record as a gift and started his DJ career with the support of his friends and colleagues from Pomorie – Morcikul, DeepImpulser and Kashones. Together they created Underground Loops – an association involved in organising techno parties mainly in the Pomorie and Burgas areas. They established the well-known open air parties OpenBungalsUnderLoops that became a tradition and gathered many fans from throughout the country.

In 2002 Thermo started creating his own music, mainly orientated towards percussive and tribal techno. Few years later, in 2005 he started playing as a Live-pa artist aiming at wider public. Since then, Thermo has played with most of the popular Bulgarian DJs and few foreign ones: Ignition Technician, Sandy Warez, Deetron, Mario Ranieri, Rhenalt, Jackill, Loktibrada, Jeroen Liebregts and others.

In June 2007 Thermo participated in his first show out of Bulgaria – the "Prvymaj" in Bratislava, Slovakia. In november 2007 Thermo make his debut for Ignition Technician's label Notorious North. The vinyl is called "Underground Loops EP". He also make remix on Deepimpulser's ghettotech track "Hey, Pussy!" released for the Deepimpulser's label 8311 Music in digital format. Next releases will come at the end of 2008 for labels such a: Audionautica, Keep On Techno, Eighty Eight, Cutz, Sound Evolution and Toyfriend Music.
