Tapesh

German DJ and producer Tapesh grew up around the clubs owned by his father, where early exposure to funk and electronic music helped shape his musical outlook. He began producing as a teenager and has DJed for more than two decades, developing a career grounded in the dancefloor. His sound is frequently described as lively and funk-driven, with a strong connection to Chicago house and an ear for vocals and groove.

Tapesh’s productions have appeared on labels including Mobilee, Hot Creations and Defected, and he has toured internationally, including performances at Cocoon in Frankfurt, Warung in Brazil and Ushuaïa Ibiza. In interviews, he has described learning to play in his father’s club and building a large vinyl collection, much of it hip-hop. These influences inform a broad house vocabulary, while his long experience as a DJ gives his studio work a practical, club-tested focus.
