Conrad Taylor

German-American producer and DJ based in New York, Conrad Taylor crafts a powerful techno sound shaped by a musical education that began with childhood piano lessons and early composition practice. Born and raised in New York, he develops a style leaning toward hard techno and rave techno, defined by direct build-ups, streamlined melodic lines, and pop influences that make his tracks instantly effective on the dancefloor. Before committing fully to music, Taylor pursued an initial career in politics, becoming one of the youngest elected officials in U.S. history—an experience that now informs his relationship to the stage, the public realm, and the idea of gathering. His sets favor fast, in-your-face energy, playing with tension and release and tailored to clubs, warehouses, and outdoor events, including pop-up parties in urban spaces. Active on the international electronic circuit, he strings together dates across North America and Europe, from clubs and headline tours to festival lineups. Taylor’s music also travels beyond dancefloors via airplay on stations such as BBC Radio 1 or Triple J and placements in television, for example in the series “Shoresy” on Hulu, while continuing to push toward a radical yet accessible brand of techno centered on rhythmic intensity and collective experience.
