Dad, dancer, digger, disc-jockey, and event organiser, Ben Taaffe has been passionately collecting, playing and promoting all manner of underground music in Boorloo (Perth) for over twenty-something years. During this time you might have seen him blasting bass-bins, throwing disco-frisbees, blending slow-burners, or turning techno tables with a bag or three of well worn records in a backyard, nightclub, or warehouse around town 

…or you might have caught him co-hosting the long-running and legendary dance music radio show, Underground Solution, now running strong on RTRFM (every week!) for over 30 years (***only 16yrs or so since Ben joined the collective)! 

Ben’s large-scale dancefloor invocations are conducted regularly alongside Boorloo's best and some of the world’s leading DJ's, drawing patrons from far and wide. He’s the man with a plan behind the {MOVE} events and Freedom Time NYE Festival; a founding member of the Interzone, Planet X and System collectives; and on occasion he "daylights" as an independent creative programmer and events producer working with big wigs such as Perth Festival, WA Museum Boola Bardip, Fringe World and Red Bull Music Academy.
