19 years ago today Tony, and not a day goes by without something reminding me of the magic you bring to my life. You were my idol on those ones n twos, the one I would travel the country at any opportunity to see in action, the one whose tapes I treasured, whose mixes were Gold Dust, whose 12 inches were the Holy Grail (!) and the artist who my friends and I generally referred to as God...
"Who's playing tonight?"
"God"
I have rocked my ARSE off to your sets on a podium, in the car, in the dj box with you, on the dancefloor, in the toilets, outside getting some air, in a hotel room, at an afterparty, at work, in the garden, at my infamous party flat parties, in the shower, abroad, in the sun, in the rain, in the snow, in the studio, on the train, on a plane, night and day.... I am so grateful for having the pleasure of meeting you and for everything being at the perfect stage in my life when I could fully appreciate your music and magic as a fierce clubber soon to become budding dj. You were and still are a huge inspiration to me. Without you in my world, there are countless musical, magical paths that I would not follow and would never have followed. Tony de Vit. Thank you for the music, the magic and the memories. Thank you for uniting people all over the world with your energy.
Thinking of you all, my friends and chosen family who find this day particularly painful. Sending you all love, healing energy and thanking my lucky stars that I have met you all because of this cheeky fella.

Tony De Vit PartyMix

A selection of new-ish tunes but with a huge oldie from yesteryears. Hope yer like?

Mixed By Ian M - Nexus HH Mix May 2014

A very rare mix, if the tune at 7 mins doesn`t make your jaw drop and your hips move, stay the fxck away from any "discotheque orientated surroundings" Ignore the random addition of a Bamboozled remix after the mix set, it`s all exactly as it came off the tape. The last segment is from Steve`s Kiss 100 show during Pride 97, funny as....

Steve Thomas Pride 97 Kiss

Once again, nicely brought down in BPMs by Pete Wardman to squeeze in the tunes he wanted to play, then brought it back up through the gears again. Lovely to hear Schlangenline and Mass Hysteria played and despite the breaks, his mix into, and out of TdV`s mix of Don`t Laugh is still awesome. Sorry about the adbreaks and the gaps where the missing ones are. If I`d known 16 years ago, I would have taken more care. Still, another brilliant moment in time captured forever. As always, there are 2 parts, so make sure to do both. Headphones on and enjoy! 

Pete Wardman Trade 4 30 11 97 Pt 2

Lots of early in the night Trade tunes, really great funky, chunky tracks. A studio mix that captures the time of the night between Steve Thomas finishing and Tony coming on, with a few housey elements thrown in, so it doesn`t go too bonkers. I`m guessing mid to late 95. Juicy was label that did mixtapes at the time, this is one of six of Tony`s ones. Short and sweet, only an hour long, turn it up and enjoy. In 2 parts, once part 1 finishes, give it about 20 seconds and part 2 will load automatically.

Tony de Vit  Juicy 3  Pt1

V. Important,..it`s in 4 parts [double tape pack] Give it a few seconds and the next part will load automatically, do all 4, it just builds and builds!!.. Very rare, very Tony, verrry Tony at Trade. Definitely live.  Lots of late 97 tunes but I`m sure it`s early 98 because of Who is Elvis? which I`m sure wasn`t released until late 98. Tony would have been playing it a good few months in advance of course so was probably breaking it in about then. Also, one of only a couple of times you`ll ever hear him play Whoosh on a mix tape, absolutely stunning!! I had to do my best with the sound quality, it was recorded with the top end [treble] off the scale, really tinny, I re-recorded it with the treble at -8 and it`s still there. It sounds way better turned up loud or on headphones. Just enjoy the flow of the set, the tunes, the mixing and the memories it brings back. Turn it up proper loud!!
Ps Sex was a label that did mixtapes from different DJs

186 - Tony De Vit - Tokyo - Global Underground 005 - Disc 1 (1997)

Tony De Vit Live @ Chuff Chuff's Glorious 1993

Well it had to be done again and done good and proper, after at the Daisy's Summer Festival interruption from time and sound police, slightly hampered the last tribute attempt.
So we returned to pay homage to a great a friend of mine and the very best Dj IMO to walk God's Green Earth, Tony De Vit. (RIP)
Tony was a big part in the start and running success of Crazy Daisy's in the 1990's and many always felt his sound had to be part of the amazing re-birthed party's that have been put on of late. From the Original owners to the current promoter and of course the original punters that have returned to relive these brilliant party's. And i was more than happy to do this.

Booming Sound System, Four Decks, wicked Lazers and production this time and an extended set of 2 hours. 
We had it off in that room good and proper. And i wanna say a massive thank you to those that experienced this Live, you had this set best delivered, and the buzz was phenomenal. 

Here is Part 1 of the Set (1st hour)
Part 2 i will post within the month, moves more into Tony's Productions and Tracks on his label.

Enjoy . Peace

Turn it up!

P.S This was done 90% on Vinyl. I tried my hardest to normalize all the levels and crispy bits.  :-)

RSK1 - Finally The Dub Come Around

After another planned trip to Progress in Derby with a few mates in 1994, we were disappointed that DJ Duke from the U.S.A. had cancelled but been replaced by the unheard of  Tony De-Vit from Birmingham. That was my 1st introduction to T.D.V. and was hooked from then on. Then having the opportunity to introduce him to our Lick It crowd in Milton Keynes was a blessing. This is the original Dat recording from that night. Those who were there will remember it well, a true turning point in MK's clubbing history.
