After returning from a holiday to Ibiza in the summer of 1998, Antone bought his first turntables and took up DJ’ing spinning vinyl from multiple genres such as house, garage and trance.

Feeling like a fish out of water in the usual beer boy type of venue with their mainstream, chart based music policy, he yearned to hear those 4 on the floor beats once again.

After reading an article in Mixmag listing ‘20 clubs to visit before you die’, he was surprised to see one situated in Coalville, which was local to his native Leicester. That club was ‘The Emporium’ and the night was called ‘Passion’. Walking through those doors for the very first time a few weeks later changed his life forever and It was from that moment that his love for trance music grew exponentially.

Gaining inspiration from Marc West, John ‘00’ Fleming, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold and deciding to fully focus on trance, he started handing out mix CD’s to promotors which soon saw him getting bookings to play out live on a regular basis in his local area and at nights such as Nocturnal, BabyPassion and Fixation.

DJ’ing was front and centre of Antone’s life for the next 8 years until real life and other interests got in the way. This hiatus lasted over a decade, but in all that time his love for trance music never left him. Ever since he returned and fully embraced today’s new breed of digital technology, he is once again at one with the music he loves and hopes he can take the next step to continue his career.

Ben first got into trance in the mid 90’s at around the age of 15 through a few of his older friends. He then had his first clubbing experience at The Mezzanine in Wolverhampton watching Brandon Block and Alex P and from that day on he was hooked. He spent most of his clubbing years in and around the midlands, often frequenting the likes of GodsKitchen, Sundissential, Passion, Storm, Golden, Polysexual and Global Gathering. Although Ben spent a lot of time in the hardhouse scene, his heart always remained with trance.


Ben first got into DJing around the age of 18 when his best friend, Lee, bought some decks. They used to spend any spare time they had learning the trade. For the first few years, Ben wasn't able to afford his own decks but one day, on a drunken night out, he entered a DJ competition in a local bar. Not having decks of his own, Ben had to practice on his friends decks. To his surprise, Ben ended up winning the DJ competition and used the winnings to put towards some decks of his own!


Ben mainly played at house parties and kitchen raves, and had a few gigs at Blessed with his good friends DJ Dawson and Vaughan Murphy, but never really had the confidence to pursue his career any further. A few years later Ben decided to hang up the headphones due to personal reasons.


2010 Ben met the girl of his dreams Ella, who is now his wife, at a friend's party. Together they shared the passion for trance and started attending events again. In 2018 Ben decided he wanted to purchase some decks again and that was it, it was like riding a bike! Thanks to his wife (and his biggest fan), he got his confidence back. 


Ben is now looking to get his name out there and loves nothing more than sharing his mixes with fellow trance fans. While he's happy playing to his wife and kids in his kitchen, he feels that he has what it takes to get a dancefloor pumping and truly believes he can take people on a journey with his sets. 


So, please give this old boy a listen and if you like what you hear, give him a like and a follow ❤️


Trance Forever 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽
