Tony Fever started dj-ing back in the early 90's under the alias DJ Caine just as dj-ing as an art form was taking off in the uk, tricks and scratching were what it was all about back then. He joined a crew, 'Free Da Spirit' and gained a small following around the Bath and Somerset area. Throughout the years his musical taste has changed to trance and hard dance, electronic music though, was always in view even though he was a dedicated hip-hopper. 'Listening to Jean Michelle Jars' Oxygen and Equinox albums were an education' he says. Tony's evolved some of the disciplines from hip-hop dj-ing such as scratching and chopping beats around, he incorporates these techniques while 'in the mix' (equipment permitting) giving an element to his sets not many other djs would attempt. He's influenced by the likes of Oceanlab and Matt Darey on the melodic trance side of things through to Marco V, Scott Mac and Flutlicht at the tougher end. Combining different styles throughout his set as it progresses is something to note. Always searching out new tracks and keeping an eye on record labels such as Anjunabeats, whilst not forgetting the smaller, lesser known labels is something of a past time for Tony Fever. It's this continual vinyl hunting that ensures his dj sets are always up to date with new music, a lot of which is pre release. Occasionally he's been known to throw in a few hard house grooves when things really kick off on the dance giving his sets a real underground feel. 'Keeping energy levels up and people dancing are what it's all about for me, it gives me the biggest buzz'. During the last two years Tony Fever has been playing out in Bristol at various venues including Lakota (Smash 'n' Grab), Bar-I and Castros (Phantasy Rushour). Now, picked up by Marc Vedo as a resident dj for Koolwaters, helping with promotion and liaising with the venue are also undertaken on a monthly basis.
