Tash

Tash grew up surrounded by different art-forms. Since his early childhood, his expression through music could be easily observed. Being an active graffiti writer since ’97, he’s been involved in promoting hiphop events, graffiti festivals & breakdance contests, making his first contact with turntables and dj mixers during that time and then he met the ‘vinyl pleasure’ spinning a variety of breaks, freestyle & miami-bass tunes, inspired by pioneers like Africa Bambaataa, The Freestylers, Planet Patrol, Arabian Prince, Egyptian Lover, ao.. In the late ‘90s he discovered the progress of electronic dance music into progressive house, break, tech-house and trance records.
“Something important I learned from the past is always to remember about your roots. My ‘roots’ drove me to the rhythm & groove, and when I heard the first prog records, I was totally convinced that this could be perfect! Tight beats, deep clubby grooves, driving moods, a combination of power & sensuality...”
His mixing technics & skills brought him into the forefront of the local scene, passing from the decks of main clubs of South Eastern Europe, and building a great rep under his alias Tash, sharing the decks with reknown djs incl. Anthony Pappa, Lemon8, Andy Moor, Kasey Taylor, Gabriel & Dresden, Leama, Parham & Plaza, Eelke Kleijn, Cjay, Ton TB / 3 Drives On A Vinyl, Gpal, Ticon, Neelix, Aerospace, ao.. ao.. playing at main clubs incl.

As a Producer, Tash got his first deals in ’06 signing his very first tracks on Greed’s Sog Records (ch), through his project with dutch Stage Van H, together with a solo EP for Minimal Records (uk), although this record was never released as the label closed only few days before the release, sad but true! Since his very first productions, his aim remained the same; to express himself through music and overdone himself in each and every project! His collaboration with Stage Van H gave birth to more massive tunes like ‘Emotional Impact’ in ’06 being featured in a cd compilation of Underground Lessons (gr) groundbreaking dancefloors around, and ‘Detox’, for Presslab Limited (it) in May ’07 remixed by Eelke Kleijn & Hogendoorn, and Gio Red with big support by Hernan Cattaneo getting used to it on more than one Metro One shows & gigs around the world!
Since then, Tash started getting busier in his studio working on solo projects for labels like Vapour Recordings (au), Tribal Vision (cz), Pure Substance (mls), Remud (it), Lets Play House Recs (us), USB Digital (bg), Cristian Records (ro), Dezign Music (gr), and more.. The list of the people who supported Tash’s music from the very first moments till nowadays includes names like: Hernan Cattaneo, Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Moor, Martin Roth, Pole Folder, Flash Brothers, Kasey Taylor, Leama, Eelke Kleijn, Cjay, Brisker & Magitman, Leron & Yves Eaux, Fred Numf, Paul Kwitek, DJ Slater, Presslaboys, Greed, ao.. Some of the most recent projects are Brisker & Magitman’s ‘Cover Edge’ for Andy Moor’s AVA imprint (uk), also the highly-charted ‘Miniman’ of Alex Dimou for Elite Recordings (mx), ‘Nucleus’ originally by OgiGeeCash & Synchronized vs Seraphim Codex for Balkan Connection (yu), Tash & Stage Van H’s ‘Interrupted’ for Solid Fabric Recordings and his solo 'Urban Nights' on Pure Substance..
At the moment, Tash is spending the last moments in the studio getting the debut Tash & Stage Van H album done for Candyflip Records (gr) entitled ‘Movement’ planned to be released in Spring ’08 including exclusive material & a special variety of electronic sounds! Following releases include ‘Cold Fever’ EP for Carica Deep (ru), and ‘Something Nu’ / ‘Know what u played last summah’ on Augenring Records (ch), ‘The Tunnel’ EP on Underground Lessons (gr), and a fantastic production after joining forces together with Oakie’s ‘Hypnotized’ british muse, Tiff Lacey! Brand-new remixes will also come up for main labels incl. TribalVision, System Recordings, Soho Music Movement, Augenring, Carica Deep, ao.. ao.. Besides all these and the design projects of MJD Creative, Tash can be heard every 1st & 3rd Tuesday hosting the ‘DJM Sessions’ show on DanceRadio.gr, with the companion of international friends interrupting the program.. So far so good; being only at the age of 23, Tash already proved that he’s definitely a positive youngster to keep an eye for the future, and his story still goes like dis, dis, dis-dis-dis...!
