TAYO and Tamsin 16th march

[nickdivision]

Tayo is a familiar face on the breaks scene where he can safely lay claim to helping shape the nu skool sound in the late 90's alongside fellow breaksters Adam Freeland and Rennie Pilgrem, who together promoted the genre forming Friction parties at Bar Rhumba & The End.

After mixing his first Y4K album in 2000 his profile soon exploded to a worldwide audience. Not one to hang around, he quickly took things to the next level, launching his own label Mob Records with the debut release coming from long time friend and major breaks player Rennie Pilgrem with the seminal Some Place Funky. Over the years Mob Records released original music and remixes from artists including The Stanton Warriors, Lee Coombs, Kevin Beber, JDS, Santos, Meat Katie, Klaus Hill and Krafty Kuts to name but a few. To date Tayo has released four mix albums, and is the only artist to release two Y4K albums for Distinctive.

Leaving Mob Records behind in 2004 Tayo has continued to diversify. He ran the Kiss100 Breakbeat Show for three years, ensuring it became an essential stopover for any breaks and beats artist when in town. Artists as diverse as MIA, Diplo, Rebel MC, and Smith & Mighty rubbed shoulders with the cream of the breaks and dubstep scenes as the show became a celebration of the syncopated sound. This did not go unnoticed at Radio One, who asked Tayo to move to the station at the beginning of 2006 to become one of the DJ's on The Residency, then In New DJs We Trust. Tayo has finished his run as a new DJ, continuing on at the station where he is now the official deputy for Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale. He has done two One World specials for the station and will do an Essential mix at the end of February 07.

On the production tip Tayo has released records for Skint, Fat, Mantra Breaks, Functional Breaks, Bassrock and Passenger and worked with Acid Rockers, Freq Nasty, Care In The Community, Baobinga, Control Z and Sunz Of Mecha. He has done a plethora of remixes including reworkings of Jaydee's Plastic Dreams & Dave Clarke's The Compass. With the completion of his debut album of dubwise beats and electro breaks finally on the horizon, Tayo is ready to make the same impact on your stereo as he can do on the decks.

As a DJ, Tayo has proved himself to be open minded with his musical taste and determined to avoid the proverbial pigeonhole. Although happy to rock any breakbeat dancefloor worldwide he also likes to indulge his wider musical taste. He was co founder of, and one of the residents at Basement Jaxx's seminal Rooty club night in south London, playing out every year on the terrace at Space Ibiza with friend Frank Tope as the Rooty DJ's, and rocking festivals from Homelands London to Creamfields Buenos Aires with his house music hat on. More recently Fabric have given him scope to indulge in another musical obsession with the Cool & Deadly parties, where "the backbone is dub". Tayo will be taking this concept to some of the biggest festivals in the UK throughout 2007. He is also responsible for Tayo's Tracksuit Party, a celebration of the sports casual and the joy of an old school two piece Adidas... Snowbombing for the last three years, Notting Hill Carnival, Sheffield and Sydney are just some of the places that have been turned into a scene from Beat Street for an evening or two....

This musical diversity is best heard on his brand new mix CD, Fabric Live 32 which explores breaks, dubstep, baile funk, and electro in 70 minutes, which will continue to define Tayo as a forward thinking DJ and producer determined to rock more clubs throughout 2007.........

TAMSIN:
Tamsin began spinning at the tender age of 13...buying jazz funk tunes to play at school discos and her mates house parties.Early clubbing @ Cheeky Petes, Crackers, Embassy and The Africa Centre. She teamed up with her sister Kerensa in the mid eighties to form the TK Experience, and hassled the Boiler House boys till she got a warm up slot at their legendary nights across the UK playing along side Trevor Fung, Colin Favor and Carl Cox. Tamsin was an original member of the Fresh and Funky crew with Brian Norman and Femi, playing a hybrid mix of Hip-Hop, funk and house which led her into the immerging rave scence of the late eighties. She got her first residency at the Astoria thanks to Nikki Holloway and Pete Tong, who were running TRIP/SIN. From there her mixing skills came into demand with another residency for The Orange Club at Camden Palace, and Babylon at Heaven via various other seminal London nights including RIP at Clink St, Pirate Club, Telepathy, World Dance, Jungle Fever, Vivid etc. In 1991 Tamsin really made her mark in the origins of DnB as resident at Sunday Roast , the original and best jungle night in history, playing along side legends like Grooverider, Colin Dale, DJ Ron, Mickey Finn, Hype, Kenny Ken etc
During the day Tamsin worked as a studio engineer at Power Plant Studios in west London, honing her production skills ready for her first release on Lafayette Records, more followed on White House Records and then a great partnership with Guy Called Geralds label, JuiceBox. Tamsin remixed Reverence for the seminal Insomnia album by Faithless and has since been signed to Rennie Pilgrims TCR label as part of BREAKNECK. She mixed CD1 of the TCR50th release mix compilation. Together with Pete Parsons, they have now started their own breaks imprint LondonBreakz Records and have a weekly slot on award winning internet radio station BreaksFM. Tamsin has been DJing as part of BREAKNECK and now on her own steam the world over. Recent events include Glade Festival (UK), WMC Breaks Day (USA), CineTrip (Hungary), Blue Cheese (Italy) HUM (UK) Satisfaxtion (Spain) Urbanizacja (Poland), Frisk (UK), Independent Sound Club ( Sapin) REWIND (Hungary) Secret garden festival (UK)

i don't see a problem in that mate...... what mate would get married the same night as TAYO is in town? poorly planned if you ask me, and there should be no hesitation in putting it off for a week or two

what's in a groomsman anyway?

if you asked me last friday night, a bucketload of piss would have been my answer



while i am here, check out the last show with groovediggers......
more sets to be posted, so stay tuned ;D
