Kasey Taylor Live In Lisbon with Danny Howells - 19-09-2015

I was at first hesitant to post this recording, for fear of being too singular in my recent set postings, but i changed my mind as i think it represents a good closure of the events of the past few months.  This set from Output was a far different affair than the last few, having returned to a slow methodical pace, in order to let John fully explore over his subsequent 5 hour set(!).   Opening dj sets are odd things that can be plodding and boring on one extreme and too much, too soon on the other extreme.  Toeing the fine line of maintaining tension takes lots of preparation, digging for those odd musical gems and most of all, restraint in front of a crowd that is almost always looking for something with more energy than what you're playing.  While often called a thankless job, I think as the headliner DJs return to playing longer sets, the effects will become more tangible or hopefully appreciated by all (and not just the old heads).  This has all been hashed out before so i refer back to the classic RA article from years back, in case anyone has missed it (https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/1095).

I've learned a lot from playing and conversing with Diggers the last few times as well as contributing my episode of Transitions and now its time to move on to other little projects.  Until the next time he rolls through town, that is.  Utmost respect for the man, he's smashed it every time i've seen him the last few months.  And we can only hope he airs some of the Output set on Transitions in the next few months as he was in top form.

John Digweed presents Transitions 734 - Stephan Bazbaz B2B Sean Doron Guest Mix

Those who have been in and around the dance music scene for any given amount of time, have definitely come across the name of Kasey Taylor. Not only did he compile the second Balance Series compilation, but to date, his career resume is an impressive read, ticking off gigs and residencies at almost every big show and club in his native Melbourne, before he moved to Portugal for a ten-year stint which included shows across the globe.  Now in his 32nd year of DJing, Kasey’s career began in earnest in 1996 when he managed to impress John Digweed during a warm-up set leading him to invite Kasey to play at his monthly Bedrock night at Heaven in London.

  For over two decades Kasey has had the luxury of releasing music on his label ‘Vapour Recordings’, which is 150 releases deep. In 2004 Kasey started eVapour8, the first release going on to become number 1 on the Beatport Techno charts for eight weeks and number 1 on the main charts for a month. After taking some personal time away from the scene and a four-year break from running Vapour Recordings, the label has just been rebranded along with a new website which will be relaunched around mid-2019.  

As if he isn’t busy enough, after moving to Australia in 2013 he started a new label Lo-Fi 45, and it is already showing signs of treading the same successful path of his previous imprints. The label has a focus on new and exciting talent, which sees Taylor taking on more of a mentor role too, by signing promising locals like Lask and Peruw, seeing them sit alongside productions from seasoned producers like Jamie Stevens and Kasey himself. Kasey is currently in the studio whipping up lots of new releases for Vapour Recordings and remixes for Lo-Fi-45. Watch out for new material which should be released very soon.  Kasey’s Vapourized podcast will also be back in 2019 with a rebrand and fresh new look.  

At Rainbow Serpent festival this year Kasey was booked to play on the Market Stage to an appreciative crowd of thousands. If you missed the set or would like to relive the moment, sit back and press play, we have the full two-hour recording for your entertainment. It was not only a special set for the many who witnessed it, but it was also a watershed moment for Kasey himself:   

‘My podcast for Balance is my recent set from Rainbow Serpent Festival. It’s been a while since I played on Market Stage and it was awesome of Rainbow Serpent to give me a cracker time to announce my comeback after a break for 2/3 years for personal reasons. I put a lot of love and threw everything at this one and it was a bit different to what people expected I think, in a good way. It was a fantastic afternoon and the reception was incredible and I cant thank everyone enough who was there in support.’

“It’s getting pretty sad to know we’re almost through with The Rogue Show, but I’m very excited for the new opportunities we have coming up. Nothing out of the ordinary with Episode 19, just another hour of deep and melodic music… hope you like it!”  

SOUNDCLOUD: @lukefair

It’s hard not to be nostalgic as we wind down The Rogue Show series. It’s been a roller coaster ride of emotion, with so much change in our lives since its inception. It’s taken a lot of hard work and complex coordination, but I can confidently say each episode has been compiled and packaged with the utmost care. It’s a collection we’ll all cherish and listen to forever. We sincerely hope you will too.

We’ll keep this intro short, as there will be lots to talk about when we release our grand finale next month. But before we move onto the tunes, we’d like to give a quick shout out to Jason Darbyson of re.form [avw] for the slick Bedrock-inspired cover art. JD and Luke Fair go way back and he’s also been a great friend to bringthebeats, designing most of our INTIMATE & UNDERGROUND posters. It’s awesome to finally include you in The Rogue Show gallery bro, thanks sooo much!!

One of the most loved and respected names in the Australian dance music industry, Kasey Taylor made his mark in his hometown of Melbourne before John Digweed scouted him in the mid-nineties on his first trip to Australia where Kasey was playing the warm up set for him. It was that warm up where he gained Digweed’s instant respect and shortly after he invited Kasey to play at his infamous Bedrock night in London. That was the catalyst for Taylor to take his sound to a global audience, leading to international exposure and a permanent move to Europe to satiate the demands of his worldwide bookings that followed.

Kasey is the creative power behind the highly revered Vapour Recordings, the 25-year old mainstay which was founded in 1997 and is over 160 releases deep and still going strong.

More recently Kasey has gone through a massive personal and creative resurgence. The recently rebranded Vapour Recordings is on a roll again with the label releasing regularly after a 2 year break due to the pandemic. The standard of the releases is and has always been what makes the label stand out from the rest, with names like Guy J, Hernan Cattaneo, Gai Barone, Stereo Underground, Jamie Stevens, Nick Warren, Dousk, James Monro, Mike Rish, GMJ, D-Nox & Beckers and many more high profile artists all appearing on the label. With an armoury of names like that, it’s easy to see why Vapour creates
excitement with the scene’s biggest players.

On a more recent production level, Kasey’s releases and remixes have appeared on labels such as Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Bedrock as well as his very own label Vapour Recordings. Kasey has a ton of releases and remixes in the pipeline as well as some exciting collaborations with some of the worlds finest producers as he continues his drive to making quality productions to raise the hands of his beloved loyal followers on dance floors all over the world.

Behind the decks, Kasey is a fan favourite at all the clubs and festivals in his hometown of Australia as well as on a global scale too. He’s played and supported alongside all the industry greats you can think of and is one of the very few that can captivate an audience with his combination of versatility, patience and experience which allows him to move through a variety of genres from deep house to techno with his perfect attention to detail and immaculate programming.

With his finger well and truly on the pulse, Kasey has an ear for a great tune and is always looking to the future, and that future is set for one of Australia’s most popular dance music artists and exports to continue his already well decorated career well into the future.
