Sapphirecut

The name was used originally for the progressive trance sound she formed with keyboardists Dave Shaffer and Jake Knights.

[1] In December 2001, Taylor brought dubplates of the group's track "Free Your Mind" to the Winter Music Conference in Miami and handed them out to all of the DJs she admired.

She picked up the phone months later, and it was superstar DJ Danny Tenaglia looking to license the track for his Back to Basics collection.

The track was an underground dance classic being played by Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten globally in concerts and on club floors around the world.

[6] Sapphirecut made the news when Taylor contacted the popular and electronica oriented file-sharing network, Soulseek, in an effort to stop the group's music from being shared amongst users.

She found this out when she was helping physically balance his new dub plate press and learned these were used as the original template of vinyls.

[1][10][11] In 2006, Sapphirecut co created Videohouse Live with local video and fine artists in Philadelphia which served as a creative visual and musical exchange.
