TAAN „DRAGONMAN“ NEWJAM is a German-Asian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter/producer/DJ who lives and works in Berlin.
His debut album ACTIONDISCO will be released in early summer 2010 under the newly-formed label URBASIAN Music. „ACTIONDISCO“ delivers high energy music; very danceable electronic clubtunes combining elements of House, Hip-Hop, Disco, Funk and Electro.
His first single „DISCO GUY“, a Disco-House banger, features remixes by artists/DJ heavy-weights such as BEN MONO (Compost Rec.), BASS ILL EURO (Pitbull) and DENIS THE MENACE (Subliminal USA).
About TAAN NEWJAM:
Most notably, Taan was nominated for a Grammy in 2004 for the song “Lipstick” by Alejandra Guzman (BMG) which he co-wrote with Desmond Child. He also successfully wrote, produced/remixed American and European superstars such as: B2K & P.Diddy, Britney Spears & Madonna, Lil Jon Feat. Usher & Ludacris, Nina Sky, Sarah Connor, Sugababes, Paul Cless and many more.
Taan´s first single DISCO GUY set the pace and the album is pursuing this direction: Disco House exploring the diverse influences of its producer. High energy music and very danceable electronic clubtunes which combine elements of House, Hip-Hop, Disco, Funk and Electro. He brings together funky grooves and loops with heavy and dirty basslines with old-school 80s synths and chopped up vocals and vocoder-lines.

Looking at the recent history, April 9th seems to be a date where really important things took place: the USA purchased Alaska, the first Boeing 737 made its maiden flight and the first game of the Philippine Basketball League took place. With the release of Taan Newjam’s first single “Disco Guy” we now add something to this list. The title gives you a good idea of the musical direction – pure Disco House.

As you can see the two electro monks started the western new year with lots of love for the ladies – and they got some love back from them. They not only spread joy, happiness and enlightment but also their sticker and trademark ricehats – and they instantly found new friends.
A big shout out goes to Henk & Blitzer for bringing the Asian brotherhood to Würzburg!
Their numerous missions led Nhan & Taan to almost every corner in the Land of the rising sun. One of their recent duties brought them to Kiev. The Tosho Shop & Bard assigned the Ricehat Brothers with a delicate mission in the cold east. Being trained in the hardest monastry in the south east, managing the Ukranian cold didnt´t get in the way of fulfilling their order.
Check our photos for some evidence:
Nhan & Taan on a secret mission: In a not to be told location in Berlin the two Electro-Monks spread their musical wisdom to an exclusive crowd. Starting the evening with some musical treasures, they brought with them from their last duty, they just got straight into a blistering live set.
Although everything happened in utmost secrecy, we were able to secure some footage and even a little video of this night.
Gallery:
Freshly trained from a bootcamp in the Himalayan mountains, Nhan & Taan pooled forces to bring their musical wisdom to the western hemisphere. As it is supposed for real Ricehat Brothers, they fulfilled their mission back to back and the result was an almost five hour long lession in the art of House.
The roof of the Rodeo Club in Berlin was almost set on fire as their iron fists dropped one hot tune after the other …
When not producing his latest Disco-Anthems, Urbasian´s finest Taan Newjam is working for the Mafia. Well, not “the” Mafia (and if he was, we wouldn´t tell you) but Berlin´s own Stiletto Mafia.
Created by artist Stefan Heuser and Elke Volk, the Stiletto Mafia is a virtual photo narrative leaving its complete story to the fantasy of the viewer. Alongside fine gentlemen such as Taan Newjam, Smiley Baldwin, Patrice Bouedibela, Marcus Trojan and Till Harter, beautiful women commit crimes of excess for the greater good: Fernanda Brandao, Jenny Doll and Tina Schürmann are potrayed in comic book shots, showing the dark and dense side of Berlin with their strong contrasts in lighting immediately evoking film Noir-like sceneries.
The greater good, the protagonist of the Stiletto Mafia are fighting for, is equally present in reality: All participants work for free and the proceedings are donated to the Arche Children´s Project.

Berlin. Outside: cold. Inside: hot! In the winter of chaos-torn Berlin, the hot and sexy Fernanda Brandao (Rio de Janeiro) and her crew perform live versus the groovy and funky beats of DJ Taan Newjam (Urbasian) in an old villa in a gritty part of Berlin.
The live-show under the theme BBB – “Brazil-Berlin-Burlesque” – unites Brazilian street spirit with Berlin Electro sounds and exciting burlesque dancing.

Our favourite street-fashion brand WeSC celebrated their show at Bread and Butter with a furious party at the Villa, Berlin.
While the first floor bumped on a hot mixture of Hip Hop and House presented by SCHOWI (Bass ill Euro/Yum Yum/Berlin), CHROME (Yum Yum/Munich) and MIXWELL (The Hits/Hamburg) the second floor was grooving to the sets of Urbasian´s own TAAN NEWJAM and NHAN SOLO.
