Stemming from my six year residency for Stereo Sushi resident DJ (Hed Kandi’s little brother), Antony has took over tasks including organizing events across the world, all the radio developments including running the radio weekly show, which was hitting approx 700,000 listeners a week but due to family commitments Antony left this role but often write the press releases for the new albums launches, for both Stereo Sushi and Hed Kandi. As well as starting to work for the new brand Kings of House and also Born To Dance Records.
