Whilst on tour with a friends band, Tony met with Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, Roy ‘The Roach’ and Nicky Holloway.

The end of the 1990’s saw Tony playing in venues such as Hanover Grand, The Gala (Birmingham), Legends, Club UK and The Leisure Lounge. During this time, he was introduced to Interface (Internet's first pirate radio station). It was here he developed his playing and presenting skills to a mass audience of over 100, 000 listeners per show. It was the late 90’s when his sound began to change and mixed with his influence of his Cypriot heritage, he became more engrossed with the sounds across Europe. His stints playing in Europe over the past decade has been an immense influence on his sound today.
In 2001 Tony was snapped up by Trance giants Wildchild where he began to take centre stage at many UK events (indoor and out) along with Lisa Lashes, Matt Hardwick, John Kelly, Trisco and many more.

His explosive radio shows has landed him playing regular dates in venues The Cross (London), Pacha (London), Ministry of Sound, EGG and others, also playing in cities London - Ibiza, Miami - Russia, Ireland - Cyprus.
