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!
