About Thomas Coastline

Thomas Coastline, real name Tomas Malina, was born in 1985 in Kladno, where he grew up with his parents and older sister. His more sensitive organism probably showed itself already in kindergarten, where his pancreas got sick for more than a year because of the poor socialist diet. He was cured only by an almost vegetarian diet and alternative medicine.

As a producer and DJ

His DJ and producer achievements do not need to be elaborated. Thomas (after many years with a lot of other success) made his worldwide mark on the trance scene with his debut single After Hour, which is also the first purely Czech trance single released on CD and vinyl. Thomas has collaborated with a number of local and international artists. Some of his collaborations have also been recorded on the biggest foreign labels such as Armada Records, BlackHole, etc. As a studio producer he produced sound edits for movies, promo or reportage videos etc. as well as other sound design tasks and works.

At the end of 2016, Thomas was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer

The constant focus on maximum performance and quality, diligence and personal dedication in music and full-time employment at the same time have taken their toll. Thomas had felt for some time that his personal life and health were suffering from his activities. But his discipline and his legendary will did not leave him alone. When the diagnosis was announced, it came as a shock. But thanks to family, friends, colleagues and loyal fans, he managed to pick himself up and find the energy to fight the disease. Just two weeks later, he underwent his first major surgery - the removal of colon cancer in Pilsen, where he spent Christmas and New Year's Eve. Then followed the first 6 cycles of chemotherapy and biological treatment at Motol University Hospital in Prague. Then another operation at the Central Military Hospital, after which complications came and recovery lasted two months. Then more interventions: a series of chemotherapy and biological treatment...

The last years of Thomas's life are summed up in his own words

"Let's not delude ourselves, it's a very complicated situation. It's probably not even worth writing down what I've done in the last two years. My life now is "chemotherapy", "a week off" and another "chemotherapy". I've been on this regimen for two years now, and in between I'm trying to catch up in the weeks without treatment everything I couldn't the previous one. I try not to waste time and be as efficient as possible. The important thing is not to stress unnecessarily and not to push myself to the limit. I follow my mind and listen to my body."

Despite an intense battle, many victories and seemingly successful treatment and last but not least, Tomas's huge support, his fiancée Markéta, who was his support even in the most difficult moments, our friend, a wonderful and talented man left us on February 24, 2021 at the age of 35.
