Taso has made quite a name for himself recently with DJ, mixtape, and blog supports coming from some of the biggest names in the industry, along with chart topping, highly coveted tunes on Beatport, this is definitely an artist to pay very close attention to. Having released on record labels such as Hyperdub (alongside Dj Rashad and Dj Spinn) and with future releases in store with dubstep heavyweights Truth
There is jazz buried between the crevasses of Taso’s music, and his work resounds with a feeling of distinct street beat crossed with the substance of technical virtuosity. His sounds are trunk-busting, slow rhyme inducing, pop-and-lock, deep, West Coast breaks. In a flash, Taso’s use of synths, samples and drums proves as razor sharp as any contender in the big bass alleyway of top ten lists across the EDM globe. You will always find the crowd shouting and singing to Taso’s beats at his shows, while he raps on the mic and cuts it up on the 1s and 2s.
In 2012, Taso was asked to join and represent Teklife and is the only member representing this notorious crew on the West Coast. Recently, he released an official Cutty Ranks Remix alongside Djunya as well as one for dancehall king Sizzla Kalonji. Taso also had a major single come out on Play Me Records, featuring a remix by NastyNasty. Having made an official remix for Masia One featuring the Rza of Wu-Tang (released on Muti Music) he proves to be a valuable asset in the studio as well as on stage. Back when he was more involved in the production of Dubstep, Taso released a full length album, “Galactic Booty Call”, in May 2012, which went to #9 in the top 100 albums on the Dubstep Charts for Beatport and #34 on the overall albums as well as #2 on the Glitch Hop top 100′s.
Having spent the greater portion of his life crafting a musical identity from his unearthly passion for big bass, original style and brining people together for an insanely good time, Taso never fails to deliver only the most top notch performances. With recent exposures such as a feature on Trap-A-Holics Certified Trap Vol. 2, and plays on BBC-1, RinseFm and Berlin’s BLN.FM, this is one boss young gun to be on the lookout for.
