Hailing from Metz, a town nestled in the Eastern corner of France, Antonys experiences in radio at the age of 15 allow him to get his hands on a pair of decks for the first time. After treading the route of a 'traditional' resident DJ, the wave of acid house reaches France in the late 80s and in 1990 he
organises his first rave, the 'Atlantis' in Nancy .
The electronic music scene is in its infancy, Antony spins at some of the first biggest parties in the south of France alongside Liza N'Eliaz and Olive de Marseille amongst others (NeuroRave, Euphoria)1993-1994 He obtains a residency at the Exes club in Sarralbe, where he officiates for three years, continuing to mix at countless other parties in France.
In 1997 he opens the 'Warehouse' record shop in Metz with Natik and Olivier. The same team regularly throw parties in the Moselle region (at the Terminal Export in Nancy, LAfter club in Amn�ville, L Etoile in Metz).
Antony's first gig at Automatik at the Rex club (Paris) alongside Colin Dale in 1999 earned him a residency at the legendary Rex almost immediately. During the residency hes played alongside international DJs C1, Slam, Takkyu Ishino, DJ Bone , Dave Clarke , Mr C. His brand of festive techno covers techno, tech house and electro, and along with an impeccable technique he soon earns the respect of Automatik clubbers and other Parisian promoters.
In 2002, Automatiks promoter, Fabrice Gadeau, asks Antony to mix the first Automatik compilation. Unbound by the constraints of a label in his choice of tracks, Antony crafts a superb techno/ electro selection, (including tracks by Johannes Heil, Vitalic, Oxia, Scan X, Slam, Octave One ). The compilation gains respect from the French music press and makes the Top 50 international releases of 2002 (Trax magazine).
Antonys first release on Ozone records the Full Session EP is well received by the English music press Muzik calling it Dark, fucked up future-tech.
In 2002 he signs to Goodlife, the Grenoble label run by Alex, The Hacker and Oxia, and releases Spleen Attitude (compiled June 2002) and Magician EP (GL15 December 02).

French Bio



C'est � l'age de 15 ans qu'ANTONY fait ses premi�res armes en radio ce qui lui permet d'avoir une premi�re approche des platines. Berc� par la premi�re vague house des ann�es 80 et par quelques exp�riences de r�sident "traditionnel", il se tourne vers la musique �lectronique en 1990, en compagnie de Jeff Valle, en organisant des soir�es dont Atlantis en 1992 � Nancy. A une �poque o� la techno en est encore � ses d�buts il mixe dans les premi�res raves du sud de la France, en 92/93, aux c�t�s de Liza N'Eliaz Miss Djaxx et Olive de Marseille entre autres (NeuroRave, Euphoria…).
Antony encha�ne sur une r�sidence � l'EXES Club (Sarralbe) pendant 3 ans, tout en continuant � jouer dans diff�rentes soir�es.
En collaboration avec Natik et Olivier, il ouvre le magasin de disques Warehouse en 1997 � Metz. C'est cette m�me �quipe qui organise des soir�es r�guli�rement dans l'Est de la France (notamment au Terminal Export, � Nancy, � L'After club � Amn�ville les Thermes, � L'Etoile � Metz…).
Il s'impose lors de sa premi�re prestation � Automatik au Rex club en 1999 avec Colin Dale, s�duisant la foule et provoquant un coup de cœur de l'organisateur Fabrice Gadeau qui lui offre une r�sidence presque imm�diatement � Automatik. Jouant une techno festive en passant par la tech-house, il a un penchant pour les longs sets, qui lui permettent de d�velopper son mix, et d'y introduire des nappes parfois m�lancoliques. Une r�sidence qui depuis lui a permis de c�toyer un grand nombre d'artistes fran�ais et �trangers de qualit�, ainsi qu'un public chaleureux,� ��C'est de loin la soir�e et le club en France que je pr�f�re aussi bien au niveau de la programmation que du style musical.��.
De la house a la techno Antony distille un son redoutablement efficace. Il signe sa premi�re production en mai 2001, avec la sortie du Ozone 12 "Full Session" EP, un disque f�t� par la presse musicale anglaise
"Using that most famous of basslines in a way that's felt more than heard, Antony's subtle, percussive grooves, fat sound and dark, spooky strings make this a truly original record."
