Fat Tony has been operating since the 80s, having been active during the Wag club era of Soho and then becoming a central player on the acid house scene when Shoom started to pop off.

Fat Tony threw parties, DJ'd on the same line-ups as Danny Rampling, Andrew Weatherall and Sasha and fell in with club kids and would-be celebs like Kate Moss. He was the prince of London and made an impact on New York, playing at the Palladium and hanging out in the booth of Paradise Garage with Diana Ross. He worked the underground club circuit and was the toast of the fashion crowd, becoming the tour DJ for the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson and Prince.
