- Bio: Where do you head musically, once you have worked with acts as diverse as gangster rappers and nu disco bands in your home country of Germany? What do you do once you’ve produced them a string of top 10 hits and multi gold status albums?
You turn your skills to the upfront club sounds of ghetto-electro and ace the dance charts with a string of jaw-droppingly original cuts. Well you would if you are TAI (aka award winning producer Tai Jason), and he’s currently on fire.
After a childhood spent living around the world, from the UK to Thailand, as a teenager, TAI found his heart lay deep inside an MPC drum machine, and spent years collecting his legendary hip-hop beats and programming those effortless grooves. Once they had started to circulate the global hip-hop scene, TAI was in demand and upped the stakes by taking on production for hip-hop artists on heavy-weight labels like Aggro Berlin.
He has turned his production expertise to the club-floor, juggling his time between mainstream production jobs and dance cuts, from his stunning studio in Munich. In 2009 his singles TAI released his first single Lyposuct (Boyz Noize) with his mate D.I.M, which has seriously turned heads all over the globe.
In 2009 TAI also released a single on Southern Fried with Tonka “Fit”, a
massive rework of Coburn’s We Interrupt This Programme on Tasted – Great Stuff’s new imprint, a remix of Jean Claude Ades’s Shingaling and the remix of Sharam Jey's single, "Army Of Men".
In 2010, he has released the jacking new single on Laidback Lukes label
Mixmash named “Rocking The Set”, which Laidback Luke has been playing for the last half year in all of his sets. Also he has released his single “Powerchords” on Coco Machete this year.
On the remix side in 2010, TAI has made a mix of the electronic breakthrough song of the year 2006, “Exceeder” by Mason this year, which has been dropped on Geatstuff/Tast’d, a remix of Don Diabolo’s “Who’s your Daddy” for Sony, a remix of UK rapper Wiley’s new single, “Electric Boogaloo”, Drop The Lime’s “Sex Sax”, a Dub-Step carve-up of Tomcraft’s epic Loneliness that is out on Kosmo at the moment, a remix for Riton’s “Computer Juice” on Turbo Recordings plus Billy Idol’s world hit “White Wedding”.
Recently TAI has been in his studio working with Steve Aoki on ther Song, “Paradise Poltergeist” for TAI’s upcoming „Beat Down EP“, which will be released on Dim Mak records August 31st.
Also recently TAI has been in his studio working on a smashing
electronic/miami bass clash with legendary 2 Live Crew’s founding member, producer and DJ, DJ Mr. Mixx from Miami.
And there is no end in sight, so that there will be many more collaborations coming up with artists like Felix da Housecat, Lee Mortimer, Tommie Sunshine, Joachim Gaurrad, SonicC and of course there will be the new collaboration between TAI and D.I.M. who are in the studio working on their EP right now.
Up to now TAI’s career working as an electronic music producer seems to be the story of an upcoming rising star. Being one of the most unknown faces on today’s market he’s nevertheless an extremely high demanded remixer with releases on the top labels of the electronic music section, such as Boys Noize, Southern Fried, Turbo, DIM MAK, MIXMASH, Greatstuff and others.
Definitly one to watch out for in 2010. (less)
