For over two decades, Taffi Louis has struggled to write a DJ bio that doesn’t sound like AI-generated slop.  In that time the role of DJ has mutated away from the music enthusiast/curator to influencer/marketer. Defying simple categorization, his sets blend dark disco, new wave, Italo, presented  in the language of house and techno and steered into a fluid narrative, like an imaginary soundtrack for the movie version of right now..  His first gig in a local gay bar unexpectedly kicked off a six-year residency, mingling James Murphy with Giorgio Moroder, Bobby O with Vitalic.  Instead of chasing trends and the widest possible audience, he  built unique, diverse audiences with parties like Truckerdisco and Roboteria, centered around music first, not market segments. His era-jumping, propulsive DJ sets refuse to treat music as disposable, perfunctory filler.  His edits receive worldwide support from DJs like The Hacker, Italo Brutalo, Local Suicide, & more.
