When the nightlights lure you in and a roaring bassline sets your pulse racing, there’s nothing left to do but to answer that call. And so, that’s what Dutch DJ and producer Anastas Kapogiannis did. Clocking up an average 150 gigs a year under his DJ Taz moniker, he lives and breathes all that is electronic dance music.

Inspired by his father, who was a professional drummer, it didn’t take long for Taz to be caught by the music bug. Switching the drum kit for a pair of DJ decks at the age of 10 might have been the best decision he’s ever made though. Perfecting his DJ skills and learning all the ropes of music technology, it’s no wonder that he wanted to take his hobby to a professional level. He worked for over 10 years at a music store in Rotterdam – selling gear to big names like Nicky Romero, Afrojack and Mr. Probz, and weekend duty in clubs all across the country and abroad, it’s safe to say that Taz is truly living the dream of many. And he does it well.

An A-class performer, praised for his energetic appearance behind the decks, driven to bring only the very best of what today’s melting pot of dance music has to offer. He packs house, urban, R&B, club and EDM and turns it all into a fine blend. Next to rocking the Dutch clubs, DJ Taz was also invited to spin at the world-famous Starbeach on party-island Crete, Belgium, France and Portugal. A sign that his sound is swiftly rising to an international level. Next to dj’ing, Taz also knows how to toy around with the production side of things. His bootlegs don’t only mark highlights in his own sets, but have also found their way to the likes of Chuckie, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Tungevaag and Oliver Heldens. Crafting his own sound, it won’t be long until the world dances to the first DJ Taz original.

In the meantime, we get to enjoy his powerful ways with the decks, swift transitions and unique display of undeniable DJ talent. DJ Taz is here, and here to stay.
