About Antony Dupont:

It’s in October 1996 that everything starts for Antony Dupont.
He works in a huge french international tire factory starting with an “M” between dust, smoke and vapor...
A job mate (Alix) gives him a short listen to a tape with a mix of Laurent Garnier on it. This same friend asks Antony if he wants to come with him to see “that Laurent” at the “Rex Club” in Paris.Antony says “Yes”...
That blew up his mind ! Even if he had a twisted ankle before the party, he danced all night.
Starting from the next day he “ran” the best way he could (cold blue swelled ankle) to buy the “ LABORATOIRE MIX”.
November 96, he buys his first SL1200 Turntable and few records at “Techno Import” in Paris.
1997, he starts playing in local pubs, bars and clubs in Troyes under the name of Dj Tony.
That nickname was too common for him and he dicided to take his actual name.
He first started searching for the same records that his “mentor” played as well but finally played his own style, telling his own “stories”. He likes the progressive sets, those who "bewitch" you, make you burst of enjoyment and make you raise the quite standing hairs.
1998, he starts playing sides of big names or professional underground djs as John Thomas, Alex K, Ilana, Goodvibes...Then founded “Hopis Tribe” an association who promoted electronic music with Jabba 2.3 (another local Dj). Plays and manages on a local radio (Radio Campus Troyes) a live show called “Bass Pression”.

2001, he plays the last part of Troyes’s 2nd electronic music festival “ASSOCIATIONS 2” just after John Thomas. Are also invited at this event: Oxia, Roussia, Gallen, Steve o steen.
His mix is a real succes and at that moment he decided that he will never stop his passion. (1700 people).
