DJ Taye

Born on the south side of Chicago, Dante Sanders (a.k.a. DJ Taye) has produced and released well over a dozen short EP's and full-length LP's. Producing since the age of 12 and DJing since the age of 15, Taye officially joined Ghettotekz (reformed as Teklife now) in October of 2010. His continued efforts to release mixes and tracks out into the world of dance music has done quite a bit for the career of Teklife's youngest member. With notable international recognition for his work, with tracks like "Get Em Up" and "Bombaklot" (a collaboration with DJ Earl and the late DJ Rashad) featured on the 10.1 anniversary compilation for Kode9's imprint Hyperdub.

DJ Taye represents in this sense the continuation and the future of the Chicago footwork sound. Over the last few years DJ Taye has traveled within the US and has played heavily in and around Chicago, both as a solo DJ and with the support of his Teklife crew. In 2014, Taye toured across Europe with Teklife counterpart DJ Earl, which added more buzz to the sounds the young musician is making. His music speaks for itself, and the continual output of energy that he creates within his music gets the world to gravitate towards his unique sound.
