Lineup
Tasha
Dylan Fogarty
Tengu invites musical hero Tasha (Neighbourhood) to the booth for a rather large one before the Christmas holidays. No better man to warm up the night than Dylan Fogarty.
Tasha first made her name as a DJ in the drum & bass community, with early support from DJ Flight on BBC 1Xtra. After DJ Storm made her resident at her Feline night, she became a firm part of the community, going onto play regularly at Renegade Hardware and across Europe. A dedicated head to the core, her exploratory experiences raving at London’s techno nights, being behind the counter, selling records at BM Soho and listening to more techno started to make their way into her sets and radio shows when she started out with her residency on Rinse FM in 2009. Since 2018, Tasha remains a member of the iconic stations core lineup to this day.
Tasha’s DJing style matches the textured background of her influences and has developed into a master-flow of form – weaving tunes together seamlessly from her bass-informed home of the UK, alongside 4×4 techno forms, broken beat, or straight up D&B rollers. It should be noted that Tasha is pretty much one of the only DJ’s who has built their career separately in both drum & bass and techno, she cannot be pigeonholed into genre conformities. Whether it’s a peak time or closing slot at Berghain, a Jungle masterclass at Rupture, or a mixed bag b2b with Josh Caffé at the helm of FOLD – Tasha has all bases covered. With an accomplished and atmospheric hold on the dancefloor, her sound is wholly affecting and has taken her to some of the best festivals and clubs in key cities around the world from London to South America, including Tresor, Glastonbury, Freedom Festival and is a resident at the outstanding Open Ground club and a regular at Fabric, Blitz and The White Hotel.
It is safe to say Tasha has, and continues to play, an integral role in shaping the landscape of our modern dance music scene. Her unwavering dedication to the music shines through in everything she does as a DJ, promoter and label owner. In an industry where artists are asked to prioritize their art for social media presence, likes and other vacuous pursuits, Tasha is very much in demand for her ‘music first’ attitude, selection and ability.
Dylan Fogarty is a Dublin based artist who has been going from strength to strength. His stripped back, loop driven techno which is influenced and reminiscent of the old school sound of the 90’s and 00’s with releases on a number of VA compilations and labels such as the Canadian based PHTM, Molekul, RAW and Frenzy to name a few. Although the young artist is only just beginning his musical journey, he’s already got a wealth of support and releases under his belt.
See you on the dancefloor!
