Kasey Taylor is one of the most influential people in Australian dance music. He is certainly one of the most accomplished and now one of the most recognised on the global dance stage. Indeed, you might expect a few results if you started Dj’ing at the age of 13 as Kasey Taylor did, but the truth is that experience and practice will only get you so far and that at some stage it takes raw talent to turn the heads of the dance world.
As a DJ, there is very little that Kasey Taylor has not done. In the years gone past he has played almost every big gig in Melbourne and held residencies at every club of note. In particular, Kasey played an integral role in creating the magic that was the ‘Mansion’. A club that has gone down in the annals of dance history as one of the best to ever sit on the planet with just about every international DJ you could name at the time, playing guesting roles there. He has also played at all the major festivals in Australia like the Two Tribes festivals, Summadayze festivals, Renaissance and Global Underground festivals just to name a few. The more recent ones though have been, Voov Festival in Germany and the Labyrinth Festival in Japan (3rd time this year), and during these travels, he’s played with the some of the worlds biggest DJ’s..
Kasey these days now resides in Portugal and can be found playing all across the globe, from Europe to Australia, South America to Asia. There is not many places where Kasey Taylor hasn’t been. In fact, Kasey Taylor can be said to be one of Australia’s best dance exports.
For years now, Kasey has had the luxury of releasing his records on one of the world’s most respected labels, his own ‘Vapour Recordings’ which he founded in 1997, and now has around 60 releases under it’s belt. His time spent overseeing the label and production work has done more to establish the credibility of Australia in the international dance arena than most other independent Australian record labels. Kasey’s tunes, along with ones he has signed for Vapour, have consistently been in the boxes of the world’s leading DJs and featured on major CD’s around the globe.
