HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM: Taffi Louis "It's Later Than You Thought" (Potcast 146)

For over two decades, Taffi Louis has treated DJing not as a career path but as a lifelong experiment in how music can reshape a room. His first gig—at a Vancouver gay bar- unexpectedly kicked off a six-year weekly residency with complete freedom to roam. Nights would start off with house, Italo and new wave; morphing into a late-night fetish vibe with heavier nu-disco, techno, and electroclash pushing the envelope while mapping out links to what came before.  An audience nostalgic for Giorgio Moroder and synthpop could be just as ravenous for Vitalic or Gesaffelstein when you connect the dots.

That subversive instinct soon spilled into his own events in the mid-2000s. What began as niche queer events evolved into creating inclusive spaces and shifting focus from the presumed audience over to the music defying easy categorization; era-hopping, retro-futuristic, catchy yet strange, the music at Truckerdisco and Roboteria nights created their own niches, despite conventional wisdom that says to identify your audience first,

His edits are supported worldwide by DJs like The Hacker, Italo Brutalo, Local Suicide and many more.  Listen to Taffi Louis edits & 1-hour mixes on SoundCloud and Hearthis.at
