Tommy Trash Wrote His New Song After an All-Night Ayahuasca Trip: Listen
Thanks to an extended—and deeply contemplative—hiatus from the industry, it’s clear that Tommy Trash has reawakened his creative spirit. The renowned DJ’s new single “Jaguwawa,” a breezy deep house bop featuring his own voice, is a testament to that renewed sense of self.
