人们常说生活中除了死亡和税收没有什么是确定的，但塔克斯曼的成功从一开始就似乎是确定无疑的。如果你在过去的几年里去过鼓和贝斯的舞池附近，那么你一定知道这个人的作品，而且你会不止一次地举起手臂，要求dj重新加载他的曲目!塔克斯曼，或者多米尼克·廷迪尔不是别人，正是亚当·廷迪尔的弟弟——亚当·廷迪尔更广为人知的名字是《原罪》，是臭名昭著的G Dub二人组背后的制作人。多米尼克和他的兄弟从小就听着鼓乐、贝斯和丛林音乐，他们会等到父母出门后，点上一根大麻烟，轮流把他们的合集混音。从很小的时候起，塔克斯曼就迷上了一种对他来说似乎很迷人的生活方式;录音棚的想法和在里面工作的人点燃了他的想象力。多米尼克放弃了他的社交生活，一头扎进了阴暗的制作世界，花了好几个小时锁在电脑屏幕前，试图跟上现代音乐制作的快节奏。意识到自己想要以音乐为职业花了一些时间，但塔克斯曼决心把他的一切都投入到这个罐子里;这是一场近年来回报巨大的赌博。当然，有一半的G Dub在你的家庭有助于事情的发展，即使他们住在不同的城镇，亚当鼓励他磨练他的制作技巧:“我哥哥过去经常打电话给我，让我把我写的东西寄给他。他和杰克当时在Formation Records工作，刚刚成立了Propaganda。 After a while I sent him ‘The Rebate’ and he told me straight away how much he liked it and that they wanted it for their label. Then, over the course of the next few months, he phoned me every weekend telling me this big DJ and that big DJ were playing the tune, then next thing I know it’s getting played by Grooverider on Radio 1! That’s where it all started for me.While that may be where it all started, Taxman’s career certainly shows no signs of ending yet! His success story lead on to both him and his brother getting picked up by DJ Hype and Pascal, initially thanks to a collaborative effort in the studio: “After making ‘Warp Speed’ with G Dub, Adam called me and said that Hype really liked the track, that he’d been watching us for a while and wanted to sign us both. I didn’t really believe him, so I told him to get Hype to call me, and he did! That phone call changed Taxman’s world forever, as the last few years of dropping solid gold anthem after solid gold anthem will show.One such anthem being the immense ‘Too Bad’, a cunning blend of reggae vocal snippets, face smacking beats and a bassline so heavy you need a friend to help you pick the vinyl up! Coincidentally the track was made the same day that Hype signed Taxman to Real Playaz, although it was over a year later that he was asked to mix it down properly. From that track Taxman became as close to a household name as anyone in drum & bass can claim, getting playlisted for daytime play on BBC 1Xtra and receiving the rewind treatment from all the top DJs in the scene.Now with his own distinctive sound and a string of huge releases including ‘Original Ninja’ and ‘Scan Darker’ under his belt, Taxman is all about facing the future; no doubt his dancefloor killing tracks will be taxing your spare income for years to come!
