LONG BIO

The Amplified Pianist (TAP) is the electronic music project of Paris-based DJ and producer Joe Bailey. Trance and tech-trance are at its core, with a sound that also explores techno and tech house. His music blends memorable melodies and emotional depth with driving club energy.

His love of electronic music began with three tracks: Tiësto’s Elements of Life, Armin van Buuren’s Communication and Ferry Corsten’s Beautiful. Their melodies drew him towards production at a young age. A turning point came in 2023, when he watched Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Rank 1 and Ruben de Ronde create the ASOT anthem Destination in a three-day livestream. Following their process in his own music software, then studying Armin’s masterclass, helped turn that early curiosity into a working practice. He released his first track, Juggernaut, in August 2024. His music has since appeared on Future Rising Music, Elixir Black Music, LVLD Music and TranZone.

The piano is often where Joe finds inspiration. A sample, a kick or an unfamiliar sound can spark an idea; time at the keys helps him develop melodies and explore the emotion behind them.

A DJ set on the BeatBox stage at Dreamstate 2025 marked his first festival performance and deepened his love of DJing. Seeing people dance, smile and respond to something he had created gave the music another dimension. Today, TAP brings that connection into DJ sets driven by melody, energy and a desire to make people feel.
