This week we welcome Vapour Recordings boss and overall progressive pioneer Kasey Taylor to Super Progressive. Kasey is one of the true professionals the progressive underground has to offer, with a career spanning over 30 years where he's found success as a DJ, Producer, and label boss. Hanging out with Kasey during ADE was one of the real highlights of my week, and we felt like an in-depth follow-up conversation was needed, so we sat down for an hour and talked all things progressive house music.
In this episode, we discuss his inclusion and excitement for the upcoming Balance Croatia Festival, the Vapour & Meanwhile Showcase at ADE, the first time he opened for John Digweed, moving to Europe, launching Vapour Recordings, his earliest productions, tips for making a career out of DJing and producing, and the explosion of the Australian progressive sound, as well as the relationships he's built with Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, and other pioneers along the way. We hope you enjoy!
