As a DJ, producer, radio host, and event organizer, TAKiN’s career has flourished in an ever-evolving industry. His creative energy has ignited dance floors at some of the top venues and festivals in Canada and the U.S. Founder of Wiggly Events and Toronto’s Wiggle Room, TAKiN has become a cornerstone of Toronto’s electronic music community. Wiggle Room, known for its electric atmosphere, has become a global hub for underground house music, where music lovers of all backgrounds converge.
