As one of the originators of the progressive house and trance sound on the West coast, Taylor has become one of America's premier DJ's and producer's. This year marks almost twenty years of having a successful DJ career. Taylor has touched down on many critical dance floors around the globe: Asia, Australia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Peru, Korea, and New Zealand to name a few. In 1999 Taylor joined The Crystal Method on their groundbreaking and very successful ÒVegasÓ tour hitting a different city each night, playing 6 nights a week to sold out venues for two months. This tour was the first of three with The Crystal Method.
The summer of 2001 Taylor released his critically acclaimed mixed compilation "Synesthesia" for Ultra Records. One of the first double CD's released by an American DJ. Taylor has also earned the distinction of being one of the first US DJ's to represent the Ministry of Sound, the largest dance music company in the world, with the release of "Trance Nation America". This double CD, released on Ultra Records, with one mix by Taylor and the other from Jimmy Van M.
In late 1998, his long awaited and much anticipated United DJ's of America Vol. 10 CD, Resonance, was released. Musik Magazine calls it "Sweet dreamy Trance and hard funkin' breakbeats, all deftly mixed by Taylor...". In March of 2001 Mixer Magazine chose Taylor's Resonance mix to be to re-released in a new series entitled "Rewind".
On the vinyl front, Taylor is most remembered (with some help from B.T.) for "Anomaly, Calling your Name". This song qualifies as no less than a progressive classic being one of the most remixed and re-released electronic dance music records ever. The song eventually made its way into the movie ÒAmerican PieÓ. Taylor has a multiple release history of collaboration with many great talents and labels including: MusicNow, Fluid, Hook, Platipus, Distinctive and it all began with Planet 4 records where Taylor and Guy Oldhams did their first track together under the moniker of G.T.R.
Currently Taylor continues his DJ travels and has just finished a much anticipated new track with Paul Brogden (P.O.B.).

6/28/09 THIS SUNDAY! Wanna trade clothes that u no longer wear & wanna groove 2 the beat? Then swap them & dance with ur new friends u'll meet at~
BeatSwap will be a daytime event showcasing both local and international Dj's. What will separate us from the rest of LA's events is that we will be setting up an outdoor area where people can bring items from home for a swap.......
With the current economic situation we feel how could we go wrong with this idea.... a trade and barter system and great music that will have people smiling and dancing.
Our hours will be from 6am to 6pm. People can bring items all day and everything will set out on display but swapping will only be from 12-3pm. If people want to bring items but not take any, that is fine because at the end of the day everything left over is being donated to charity.
We will be working with the program One Voice. "It provides a direct avenue of community support where useful goods can be given to enrich and improve the quality of life for families struggling in poverty". This is ideal for us since each swap will have a different theme. First one is '5 items from your closet'. There is no cost to participate in the swap only for entry inside where music will be thumping out through Funkworks Function-One sound system.
