Tayla grew up on the outskirts of North West London and developed an early love for Detroit House music and breakbeats. He quickly formed a friendship with another local DJ, LTJ Bukem. Then while on holiday in Ibiza he blagged his first DJ set. The decision had been made and his pursuit to become a successful DJ began.
After years of hard work and networking his talent and unique style was recognised by Murray from Dreamscape and Chris and Jay from World Dance to name a few.
Around this time Tayla started to venture into the studio, firstly with Satin Storm, they produced "Lets Get Together" which was released on Kickin Records and made an impact on the scene. This track was championed by some of the top dj's and gave him the exposure he was searching for.
Bukem then formed Good Looking Records and the pair collaborated on the label's second release "Bang The Drums". He then went on to work with more Artists, namely Photek (Bringing me Down / Soul Searching), PFM and Artemis.
As he moved further into the scene he started to make an impact with his DJ'ing at the famous Logical Progression events at clubs like Ministry of Sound, Cream and other venue's around the world.
In 1997, after various releases on the Earth Compilations and Logical Progression albums, Tayla started his own label "Nexus Records". The first release, Doc Scott's "Tokyo Dawn" ,came out as a limited edition vinyl through the Earth box set.
Then followed releases from Tayla, Alaska, Mokoto, Peshay's "Jazz Lick" and the rework of LTJ Bukem's classic, "Music".
2001 saw the release of "Soul Survivors" a Nexus compilation album that showcased the diversity of the labels sound.
After some time out of the scene, Tayla is back in the studio and is currently working on an Album. He is setting Nexus back up and also producing with "Furney". A guy who has been behind the scenes for years and is now emerging as an exciting new talent. They have many tracks already produced together which are to be released on Good Looking, Liquid V and Nexus.....
