Taimur

Taimur has been DJing for more than 27 years. He started Blk|Market Membership in New York and played as its resident from 2006 to 2017, a party credited with helping revive the Brooklyn scene. From 2008 to 2016 he was head dance buyer at Halcyon Records, where he also set up a US distribution arm for a number of labels.

Now in Miami, he founded Blkmarket Music with his wife Ostara in 2018. Its releases include work by Reade Truth, two volumes of lost Craig Richards tracks with remixes by Rhadoo, Subb-an and Adam Shelton, a collaboration with Miami electro producer Gosub, and the T.A.O EPs 'Enter Your Mind' and 'Return to Life'. A sub-label, Blkmarket Underground Music Party Edits, issues DJ club edits. In April 2021 the couple opened T Bag Records Shop Miami, which stocks only underground dance music on vinyl.
