Taishan

about

Taishan began as a studio engineer in London, working with the likes of Genacide II, Tony Thorpe, Stereo MC’s and Clyde Stubblefield. His first release 'Shinjuku Drop' came out on Resin Records in 2002 and took the scene by surprise, garnering massive support by the likes of Rennie Pilgrem, Freq Nasty and the Plumps. Follow up single on Resin was 'Dub Hypnosis' which was snapped up as one of the stand out tracks on Freq Nasty's Y4K album and gained huge props from all across the breaks scene and beyond. 'Low Blow' and 'The Shake Off' were both big tunes on Resin with support and radio play throughout the world. 2004 saw the release of 'Bring De Bongo' on Resin Records, featuring the vocal talents of Scruffy D. This skanking party tune rode high in the beats & breaks buzz chart notching up glowing reviews and DJ support, consolidating Taishan's reputation as a maverick in the scene, producing high quality, dub infused club cuts with enough funk and musicality for the headphones, home stereo or car system. Last year saw the release of the mammoth breaks anthems ‘Black Mamba Funk’ and ‘No Stress!’ which have been hammered by DJ’s worldwide and have further elevated Taishan’s status as a maverick on the scene. As a DJ, Taishan has been playing his unique brand of electro funk, reggae breaks and blistering club beats for over 7 years, spinning at nights in London like Chew the Fat, Moon Palace, Wang and Konstruct as well as heavy rotation in London’s underground illegal party sce
