Tako

Tako is a renowned DJ, collector, and curator, celebrated for his encyclopedic knowledge of obscure electronic, disco, and world music. Originally hailing from The Hague, Netherlands, Tako Reyenga has been a driving force in the European underground music scene since the early 2000s. He first made his mark as a co-founder of the infamous record store and label Red Light Records and Music From Memory, the latter of which has been instrumental in rediscovering and reissuing lost gems from the global music archives.

Well-respected as a selector, Tako’s DJ sets traverse genres and eras, seamlessly blending spacey synths, balearic oddities, proto-house, and beyond. His deep digging ethic and eclectic ear have earned him invitations to prestigious venues and festivals worldwide, from Japan’s Mago Club to London’s Brilliant Corners. In addition to his DJ gigs, Tako is recognized for his radio work, with regular mixes on platforms like NTS and Red Light Radio.

Beyond the booth, Tako's impact as a curator and tastemaker resonates deeply. Through Music From Memory, he has shone a spotlight on artists previously relegated to obscurity, such as Vito Ricci, Gigi Masin, and Suso Sáiz, influencing a new generation of collectors and producers. Always searching for the next sonic discovery, Tako continues to play a pivotal role in shaping contemporary electronic music’s ever-evolving landscape.
