When Iain is not off DJing around the world, he can be found hard at work in the studio with production partner Saski working on their Rejekt Project to great effect. Rejekts have released on San Francisco based Dirtybird Records (Claude Von Stroke’s label) and also put out tracks their own Rejekt Music label. Their productions have worked their way into the set’s of Sven Vath, Ritchie Hawtin, John Digweed, MANDY, MR C, DJ Hell, Smokin Jo, Funk D Void, Steve Lawler, Tania Vulcano & even one Hernan Catenaeo to name only the most prolific! Iain currently holds residencies Slovenia, South America, Manchester, Leeds & Ibiza (all the important places then). In Ibiza he plays at clubs like Space, Underground & Eden as well as throwing underground “off the radar” parties for Ibiza’s “in the know” elite. After legendary sets & parties last summer, Rejekts were invited back as residents this summer for “The Zoo Project” a party that firmly established itself as one of the hottest up and coming parties on the island, attracting up to 3000 people every Saturday to get down to some of the most underground sounds heard in Ibiza.
This awesome super duper DJ producer is famed for working crowds into frenzy, he brings an infectious energy & cutting edge tracks as well as hot new productions & exclusive re edits fresh from the Rejekt HQ mixing desk.
Iain’s first proper gig was in 1994 when at aged 19 he played at the Legendary Hacienda in Manchester. One of his mix tapes had been handed to the promoter and Iain was booked to play the main set in the main room.
Since then things have steadily moved up and up for the young Mancunion Deejay. More gigs at the Hacienda soon followed and then onto more of Manchester’s legendary clubs like Sankeys Soap and The Music Box and then further a field around the UK to clubs like Fabric (London), The Boutique (Brighton), The Sub Club (Glasgow), Ministry of Sound (London), Chew The Fat (London) and then pretty much most of the decent underground clubs in the UK.
It was not long before his talents took Iain overseas. First to Ireland and then Finland and then Holland and so on and so forth until by 2006 he has DJ’d in over 25 countries and now spends half of his time DJing outside of the UK. His profile has risen to such a height that DJ magazine recently did a 10 page feature on Iain Taylor as they followed him on a 7 date tour of Asia which took in China, Taiwan, Thailand & Indonesia. 7 parties in 12 days all reported on for DJ Magazine.
Watching Iain DJ is always impressive, as he reels crowds in with his deep tripped out sound and tight and technical mixing. His reputation as a world class cutting edge DJ has won him headline spots at world famous festivals like Glastonbury, Szegit, Field Trip & Dpercussion as well as several features & interviews on Radio 1 (Pete Tong) and appearances & features on regional & internet radio stations worldwide from Indonesia to Ecuador, Australia to France, Slovenia to Japan & back again.
Iain’s attitude towards music, Djing and Promoting is one that quality should always shine through and that new music and new scene’s are the lifeblood of dance music as a whole. It is this attitude that has earned him critical acclaim throughout the UK dance music press.
On to 2009 and things are going from strength to strength for our young Mancunion hero.
His residency and appointment as musical director at Area51 in Manchester has grabbed the imagination of the Dance Music press and there has already been extensive coverage and features in DJ Mag, IDJ, M8, DV8 and the world wide syndicated Skrufff fanzine.
Iain has also set up Rejekt residencies all over the world including London, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Exeter, Taiwan, Beijing and Ibiza. In particular this season in Ibiza Iain has already confirmed his residency with the Zoo Project which is one of the islands hottest parties and has set up his regular Saturday night cOMPAkT event at Savannah’s, one of San Antonio’s cooler boutique venues. He has also been booked to play at super club space once again for Carl Cox & Friends and for We Love.
