We're dead chuffed to welcome Taras van de Voorde to the exceptional line up. Although our multinational artist roster spans the globe, Taras is the first Dutch artist signed to be signed to the label. We like him for all sorts of reasons but particularly because he’s not afraid to bend or cross boundaries whenever necessary.

Taras has already crafted a range of well-received and heavily supportly tracks and remixes for Sian’s (Pokerflat, Karmarouge) label: Octopus (Gui Borrato, Sian, 3 Channels, Herve AK) followed by tracks on Manual (Petter, Jesse Somfay), Stolen Moments (Darko Esser, Estroe), DualBlock and Lo Fi Soul.

The new release - Salon De Coiffure and Crepe d’Amour came out of a collaboration between Taras and fellow Dutchman Jelle Kuipers. When it comes to producing, Taras and Jelle really know each other's strengths. Individually they have their very own styles, but together they create a perfect blend of house music, tech-house and more progressive types of vibes, without any compromise whatsoever. As Taras himself says "we start a track and see where it takes us, using our feelings about the day as inspiration, it's never predictable what kind of sound we will come up with, but for sure it will be warm and soulful".

Rocky (X-Press 2) "Great set opener - sounds better with each listen. Very good"

Nick Warren (Global Underground, Way Out West) "Interesting jazzy kind of vibe which works well. Very strong"

+ spins so far from Matt Darey, Kaskade, Martin Brodin (Buzzin' Fly), Meat Katie, Tiger Stripes, MOS Radio, NME Radio and more. Things are hotting up...
