In the 5 years since Kasey Taylor founded Vapour Recordings, it has forged itself an enviable reputation, not only as Australia’s leading progressive house label but also as a world leader. ‘Progressive’ has become a dirty word in dance music but it really is just a definition that has been diluted by a sea of bad pseudo trance records masquerading as ‘progressive’ for a little more credibility.

When you use progressive in the Vapour Recordings sense of the word, think of it as forward thinking. If there is one defining feature of a Vapour record it’s that it is just a little ahead of it’s time. The sort of tune that you might put back on the shelf and then hear 6 months later and kick yourself because you didn’t realise what the artist was doing but now you know that a gem has slipped through your hands.

The founder of Vapour, Kasey Taylor has now moved to Europe as a result of his much in demand DJing and production work. Many Australian artists are still released on the Vapour Label.
