TAYO BRINGS THE BASS!

we are returning once again to love FEB 29th with london's break/dubstep/ragga/bass smasher TAYO


Tayo is an electronic music producer from London and has a solid background in what dub, hip hop, break-beat and electro concern.

Tayo founded the London club night Friction in 1997 alongside then-unknown DJs Rennie Pilgrem and Adam Freeland, which became the foundation for the future of the three as godfathers of nu-skool breaks. Nowadays Tayo juggles his label Mob Records, a show on Radio One (‘In New DJs We Trust’) and a periodic dub-centric night at Fabric called ‘Cool & Deadly’. ‘FabricLive 32’ is Tayo's eighth (!) comp since 2000, including two outings in Distinct'ive Records' ‘Y4K’ series and a crack at 'Functional Breaks' ‘Beatz & Bobz’.

A glance at the tracklist reveals the dreadlocked DJ pulling wax from upfront all-stars Aquasky and Baobinga, dubstep hero Skream, baile funker Buraka Som Sisterna, as well as tossing in his own dubby co-productions with Acid Rockers Uptown and Care In The Community. “This mix is a celebration of breakbeat culture and bass culture," says Tayo. "It's me being into everything and trying to make it make sense over seventy minutes."

Tayo flexes his sharp taste in music to show how, in one way or another, every track is laid out on a common ground and stamped with derivatives. Ride the rhythms as he fuses the gutter flavour of Mad Decent, the low-end shudder of Skream and Digital Mystikz and the breakbeat swagger of Deekline and even Tayo's own productions. Tayo stands proudly in the middle of contemporary bass culture and connects the dots - dubstep, baile funk, breakbeat and electro - to form the upfront sound of London's underground.
