Tony deVit

Legend Dance Music DJ

Never Forgotten

Tony deVit grew to be one of the most respected DJ’s of 1995-97, not only being the ‘godfather’ of hard-house but a pioneer in sound and DJ technique.

Simon Parkes, was proud to have worked alongside him in production and as a friend for over six years before parting company in 1997 due to an unavoidable disagreement, one which may have been solved but not to be due to his untimely death in 1998.

Simon and Tony had a fantastic time within the music industry and the short time spent together was like a whirlwind time-warp of an opportunity in making both our dreams come true having a common ground of passion in electronic dance music production and composition.

Tony had a natural focused energy in what he wanted to achieve and shared that with everyone he came into contact with. A sound and smile you knew when you entered his domain….DJing in front of an audience! A sound, even to this day, people have never forgotten!

True TDV Facts

Worst Gig:

A: – Adelaide, “There was a mix up and I got sent to the wrong club. It was a lovely place but the guys were in suits and ties and the women had handbags.

A: – “There isn’t a club I’ve ever been to that compares to Trade.”
