With sounds taking you back to every chic car chase, montage, or moonlit walk filled with sexual tension of your favourite 80s movies, Miami Nights 1984 epitomizes the modern synthesizer revival. From the fantastic, John Hughsian remix of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know"(http://bit.ly/11XeX8q) ... to the debut LP "Early Summer", and the newly released "Turbulence". Miami Nights shows a mastery of their genre, stepping well beyond a finely crafted homage and capturing the true excitement that never ended.
Taffi Louis
For over a decade, Taffi Louis has been DJ'ing for audiences in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Victoria, and Toronto, under an assortment of monikers. He's steadily built a unique reputation in Vancouver's music scene, starting within its gay nightlife, defying simple categorization, then reaching further.
2012 had become a breakthrough year for Taffi Louis and his ongoing Roboteria and TRUCKERDISCO events, and he was nominated "Best Electronic Music DJ" and "Best Electronic Music Promoter" in the 2012 Vancouver Clubvibes Nightlife Awards. He was invited into a quarterly residency at Victoria, BC's Hush Nightclub, and DJ'ed alongside Seattle disco afficionados Trouble, Nark, and Pavone, as well as admired Vancouver figures like Rennie Foster, Woodhead (saunasessions.ca), Abasi (Intimate), and Mexico City's La Royale (Electrique Music).
In October, 2012, Art Of Beatz Radio called him a "mastermind leading the charge", for his ability to twist preconceived notions of past and present musical genres into a range of new possibilities. Always seeking inspiration in the moment, his approach to DJ'ing is as much about the space, the event, and the expectations people bring with them, as it is about finding and presenting music that's compelling, and engages through a range of sounds, eras, emotion, ... and motion. There is no "typical" DJ set by Taffi Louis. Each one unfolds and tells its own story.
