Kasey Taylor

Progressive House

Kasey Taylor began DJ’ing at the young age of 13 in a little roller disco in the outback of Australia, and has never really looked back since. He is one of Australia’s biggest dance exports, and is now one of the most accomplished and most recognized Dj’s on the global stage. Indeed, you might expect a few results in your 23rd year of Dj’ing, but the truth is that experience and practice will only get you so far and at some stage it takes raw talent to turn the heads of the dance community. As a DJ, there is very little that Kasey hasn’t done. In the years gone past he has played at almost every big gig in Melbourne and held residencies at every major club of note. In particular, Kasey played an integral role in creating the magic that was the ‘Mansion’. A venue that has gone down in clubbing 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 guest roles there. He has played alongside the likes of Sasha and Digweed to Hernan Cattaneo to Carl Cox, Satoshi Tomiie and almost anyone you can think of. The list is endless. In fact John Digweed was so impressed with Kasey that he twice invited him to play at his Bedrock night in London, which sits in the music industry as one of the greatest clubbing nights ever. He has also supported at all the major festivals in Australia, like the Renaissance and Global Underground festivals, Two Tribes festivals and Summadayze festivals just to name a few. The more recent highlights have been the closing sets at Rainbow Serpent Festival 2008, closing set at Voov Festival in Germany 2006, the Labyrinth Festival in Japan (3 years in a row), and many more festivals and club gigs around the world, with Creamfields Central Europe the next one on the list in July. Kasey these days resides in Portugal and can be found playing all across the globe, from Europe to Australia, South America to Asia, Mexico and the north pole! There is not many places where Kasey Taylor hasn’t been. For over a decade now, Kasey has had the luxury of releasing his records on his own well respected label ‘Vapour Recordings’, which he founded in 1997 and now has over 60 releases to it’s name. In the time since Kasey Taylor founded Vapour Recordings, and 3 years since Vapourise, both labels have forged themselves an enviable reputation, not only as a couple of Australia’s leading independent dance labels, but the worlds too. 2008 will see Kasey launch labe...
