…heard him at Trade a couple of times, great at what he did, not really my (hard)bag though.

At a club where the DJ’s were largely fairly anonymous, he was incredibly popular for a time, real air of anticipation before he went on, perfect hi-energy music for that after-afters gay crowd.

    At trade, fair. And that’s largely what most, including myself associate him with.

    But can remember seeing him at Cream 95/96 and being surprised at how much slower (than the usual Trade stuff) he played and built the set.

    Remember walking away thinking he was a better DJ than the one trick pony I had him pigeon holed as. That and ‘how do I get all these smarties out of my chap’s eye’?

        Steely has been glued to my posts like Dermo is to Daves. Really sad to see this!

          …Trade started at around 130bpm at 3am and went up from there, fucking mental.

                  Used to have breakfast at Trade occasionally, saw him there a few times. Was solid live, didn’t like his GU much though.

                        Such a tune. Zero shame in Tokyo.

                          He was an absolute diamond.

                          RIP Tony.

                          Smallman1 No. They actually did a good fry up! And that’s not a euphemism either! Used to do Bagleys or the Cross, then end up at Trade for a catch up with everyone who’d been out. Good old days where you could reset after about 4 hours kip. Back at the lectures Monday morning fresh.

                              managed to see him quite a few times as some of may mates loved going to sundissential, gatecrasher and progress. even went to see him on my 21st at the gallery back to back with Taul Paul all night on the day princess Diana’s funeral.

                              one new years eve at gatecrasher he played the opening set before rocky and diesel and banged it out.
