KONDUIT-DNB, (https://www.konduitdnb.com) 
Formally known as DJ Styli/ DJ Stylee/ DJ Sean Stylee, was introduced to the Baltimore, Maryland/ D.C. EDM scene in late 1996. 
After attending club/rave events such as Fever/Sunday Mass/Buzz and experimenting mixing random breaks/hiphop records on his friend's belt drive turntables, Stylee, first name Sean (Sean Stylee) found the art of mixing, blending and scratching fascinating. 
He set to learn how to mix by observing experienced DJs, taking college courses in Music Theory and production, and also being able to understand musical structure by reading music through performing on the trumpet and drums.  
 Styli now Konduit took a love for the ragga jump-up format and scratching style. Influenced by Dieselboy's Bassrush tapes and DJ Hype's 3 turntable ragga jungle mixes from '97, he nailed his first gig handing off a mixed tape to Baltimore, MD based Family Productions in 1998. 
Konduit has played alongside Dieselboy, Dara, Ed Rush & Optical, J Smooth, Kidd Linus, Entity aka Lonnie Fisher, Michelle Saint, Odi, Shortee, Baby Anne, Zardonic, Bachelors of Science, Rob Playford, Spin Scott and collaborated w/ hip hop artist MC SON OF NUN http://www.sonofnun.net/ just to name of the few local/national/international talent. 
Placed 2nd for a DJ Battle Championship @ The Spot - Baltimore, MD in 1999.
Placed 1st in the Glowrage DJ Battle in December 2012 Pensacola, FL. 
He has performed on 91.1FM WREK in Atlanta, GA; 97.3FM WRIR in Richmond, VA, been part of the Neopulse.net crew out of Baltimore MD including various clubs and cities such as The Edge in Washington D.C; Club Ozone/ Baltimore, MD; Club Zodiac/ York PA, Richmond VA, /Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte and Winston Salem North Carolina/Myrtle Beach, SC/Atlanta, GA/Tucson, AZ/ Los Angeles, CA the Panhandle, Florida including overseas in Vicenza, Italy.

Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 14 (since 1992).  His first release alongside frequent production partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder.  After their first release hit the stores they quickly picked up a wealth of DJ support across their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo Beats and Samurai Music.

By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky.  Branching out and working with other producers such as Survival, DLR & Philth has only furthered experience Ant’s skills at the controls over the years, Ant has also released his own solo material more recently on top of remixing for the likes of Lomax on Integral Records.  In 2014 Ant realised a lifetime ambition, securing his first ever release for the legendary Metalheadz label “Hungry For Atmosphere” alongside Mako, DLR & Villem with further releases for the label and counting going into 2024.

Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix CD’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G.  Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the radio shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio, Goldie, Bailey & Rene LaVice on their respective BBC Radio 1 slots over the years as well as BBC 1Xtra where Ant once hosted his own one-off 4 hour show, he has since additionally made 2 guest DJ appearances for DJ Friction on his Radio 1 show.  His DJ’ing work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Sarajevo, Vancouver to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK and EU wide. Additionally for the most part of the decade beyond 2010 Ant also worked as the Artist Manager for both Outlook and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, leading up the booking process, budgets and travel aspects for the festival.

Fast forward through to 2024; Ant is now responsible for the lead label management roles of both Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings and is based in Thailand, with a purpose built studio room recently finished the plan (alongside managing a mass of planned record label releases) is to get back to focusing on writing music more consistently than he ever has previously.
