Antony/Tony de Vit
(12 September 1957 – 2 July 1998)
Tony was an English DJ and music producer.
He is considered one of the most influential of his generation.
Tony was credited with helping to take the "hard house" and fast "hard NRG" sounds out of the London and Birmingham gay scene into mainstream clubs.
His single "Burning Up" reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1995, with "To the Limit" making number 44 in September 1995. During that year, he won BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year Award, as voted by listeners of the show, and Music Week's re-mix of Year Award for Louise's "Naked".
Tony remixed several UK top 40 hits during his career with artists such as Taylor Dayne and East 17. Between 1994 and 1998 his popularity with the clubbing public was rivalled by only Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox.
In September 2010, Mixmag UK announced the nominations of 35 DJs chosen by other big names in the world of dance music as those they considered the best DJs ever. A subsequent 15-month survey, which polled hundreds of thousands of global votes, asked who was the "greatest DJ of all time" and when the result was announced in January 2011, Tony was ranked number 9 in the world.
Tony played many clubs in his time, however he really was considered 'Best of the best' at Trade at Turnmills, London, to which he still has a huge faithful fan base.
Lord Kaos
aka Dominic Sinclair
Born Dominic Sinclair but known across London’s underground as Lord Kaos, he emerged from the smoky railway arches and warehouse parties of the early 1990s techno scene with a reputation for relentless, industrial-driven sets and uncompromising energy behind the decks.
A regular figure in the capital’s late-night circuit — from illegal dockside raves to legendary club spaces beneath Charing Cross — Lord Kaos became associated with the darker edge of UK techno at a time when London’s electronic culture was evolving at full speed.
He is best known as one of the creators of the cult techno anthem “Dark Forces”, a track that fused pounding percussion, distorted synth textures, and ominous atmospheres into a sound that captured the raw intensity of Britain’s underground rave movement.
The record gained notoriety through pirate radio, white-label circulation, and heavy rotation in underground clubs, eventually becoming a staple of early 90s hard techno sets.
Drawing influence from Detroit techno, EBM, acid house, and the emerging European industrial scene, Lord Kaos built a reputation for marathon DJ performances that blurred the line between machine funk and controlled chaos. His sets were known for deep, rolling basslines, militant rhythms, and sudden transitions that pushed dancefloors into near-hypnotic states.
Though elusive and rarely seeking mainstream attention, Dominic Sinclair became a respected figure among dedicated ravers and crate-diggers, remembered as part of the generation that helped define London’s darker underground sound long before techno became commercialised.
