Biography: It all began in the early 90's when dance music found Liam Taaffe. At home in Ireland with his decks and record collection, Liam set down the goal of delivering the sounds to the party starved Irish public... lofty goal for 16, but nothing short of paralysis could stop him. His DJ career began at the Ross Night Club Drogheda, playing the early styles of Progressive House and Trance the likes Sasha and John Digweed championed. Interest peaked quickly, and it wasn't long before he was sought out directly. His popularity in the North East, playing his diverse and unique set, laid the ground work for his 1998 signing to Pure Promotions (founded by Local club promoter Dom Wilton and local DJ Keith Woodhouse). Shortly after, Liam found himself DJing in nightclubs all over Eastern Ireland supporting Irish DJ's Podge, Dave McDonald, Liam Dollard and Ivor form the Kitchen and on many occasions with Dean Sherry from Mono. Not to be a one trick DJ, Liam was studying Broadcasting and Journalism (BJS) at Ballyfermot college where he learned the basics of broadcast presenting and techniques.

PURE Promotions ended in 1999, but it wasn't long until Kiss Night Club Manager Alan Cahill approached Liam with a residency for PASSION…within a year he was supporting a host of International DJs. Passion opened its doors in November 1999 and Liam supported John Cecchini from Homelands. John complimented Liam's set and skill, and with these words of encouragement Liam went on to support Judge Jules from BBC 1 on two occasions, Col Hamilton also from Homelands, John Kelly from Cream, John OO Fleming from Reactivate, Rob Tissera, Chris and James (The Gallery & Renaissance), Darren Pierce, Darren Flynn and Jay Pidgeon from the Temple Theatre, Mark Kavanagh and Alan Pullen from Baby Doll records, Mr. Spring from 2FM.

In December 1999 Liam formed his own dance Promotion Company called "LIQUID PROMOTIONS". It was a major success and brought together people from many different parts of Leinster (a provence of Ireland). Liquid had events taking place at venues in Meath, Dublin and Kildare. The DJ's at Liquid included Darren Flynn, Sonic Trip (www.sonictrip.net) and Jay Pidgeon alongside Liam and two resident DJs Barry Bolger and Kenn Cromwell. After graduating from Ballyfermot College in 2000 (www.bcfe.ie), Liam furthered his studies in HNDR (higher national diploma in radio) and graduated with a distinction in Radio and Media Production. During his time at Ballyfermot, Liam presented an Irish Dance music programme on www.emeraldradio.com with the objective of promoting Irish DJ's and their music. The show was co-hosted with two of Ireland's most well-known DJ's John Power and Darren Flynn. The programme broadcasted globally via satellite TV, short wave radio, and on the Internet where the programme could be viewed via the studio web cam. There was a huge response to the show and Liam was flooded with CD's and Promos from all over the world. The programme gained Liam world wide recognition and peaked immediate interest with the American DJ and Radio Industry. As his Irish success continued to expand, so did Liam's international interests. In the summer of 2002 Liam spent five months living in New York during the summer of 2002 where he DJ'd at HMV in Times Square and the Plant Bar, 3rd street Manhattan, with DJ Wool.

Liam's performance at the Pulse Party WMC '03 in March 2003 earned him legendary status, playing back to back with Manchester's John McKinlay to an overwhelming crowd response. In addition to his performance, Liam was a centerpiece in a lengthy article published in BBM Magazine regarding the Irish perspective on Miami. Returning to Ireland shortly after Miami, he continued to pursue production and was offered the position of Irish Manager for Pulseradio.net. However, he found the lure of a larger market more enticing and moved to London. Once there, Liam was rapidly promoted up to U.K. Manager of Pulseradio, and immediately went about the business of recruiting some of the areas best talent for weekly scheduled shows.

Coming up is the second annual Miami party dubbed Pulse Party '04: The Pulse Hotel. Liam is slated to play on Saturday from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. (echoing his late night brilliance last year), as is a larger U.K. contingent of Pulseradio's roster.

As the year rolls on bigger and better business is on the horizon, as the force behind Liam and his goals expand exponentially. Stay tuned to Pulse and liamtaaffe.com for updates.
