    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Brooklyn-based DJ by way of the Midwest, tylerfromwhere never lets his roots stray far from the dance floor. After years of supporting friends as a host and partygoer on NYC’s nightlife circuit, his journey led him behind the decks at some of the city’s hot spots, including Mansions, the Lot Radio, Jupiter Disco, Le Bain, and Elsewhere. The primary objective in his musical journey is diving deeper into the genres that shaped the soundscape of his youth: house, R&B, disco, and the dance music he discovered from digging through his mom's trove of cassette tapes. He’s proven his versatility with regular bookings ranging from the upscale chic of Peoples and W Hotel, the wild energy of Wiggle Room and Cafe Balearica's basement club, and local haunts like Casanara in Bedstuy. Tyler loves to move a room, but he's rooted in being a student of the craft with an ear tuned to the groove. This same energy fuels Gruv Theory, his recently launched newsletter, radio show, and party series which serves as a creative exploration of his “here, there, and where.” And when he’s not in the booth, he’s back out with the crowd — reminding us all that there’s no place like the dance floor.

    the whole biography
    First a drummer in high school rock bands in a small city of the French Alps, Mathis aka The Director, co-founder of Taylorhythm, found his love for house music when discovering clubs in Montreal where he started underground events and house parties with his former duo 55-80. After years of research and collecting vintage studio gear, The Director cemented a unique sound, directly inspired by 90s House and French Touch. Studying cinema for a few years, he quickly started linking with cinematography with music production; and found his formula for energetic, epic, emotion-filled music. Strongly influenced by rock and disco, The Director focuses with great detail into giving his music a feeling of authenticity that he finds missing in today’s charts: embracing happy mistakes, the spontaneous aspect of recording his music live, and bringing back vinyl records to the clubs and festivals of Paris, Montreal, New York City, Austria at Electric Love, etc. With a dedication to crafting a project that breaks the mold, The Director's unique way of doing things allowed him to get plays and share the stage with industry leaders like Barry Can't Swim, Claptone, Dan Shake, Dombresky, Duke Dumont, Ian Pooley, Mr. Oizo, ... ; and at festivals/medias such as BBC One Radio, Pacha Ibiza, Radio FG, Tomorrowland, …
