Born in Perth, Anton started working as a "company" DJ a few years back shortly after completing his Information Technology degree (go figure!)
Spending time on the local party circuit and doing numerous shows around and for the UWA campus he an early break and stepped up to a residencies at the Cottesloe Hotel, Continental Hotel and CBV. After developing his own style he soon joined DJ Matt Harris for the huge Wednesday / Sunday nights at the Leederville Hotel.
Introduced to the newly opened Sapphire Bar in Subiaco he soon had the place racing and left the DJ firm to work for himself and become resident on both Friday and Saturday nights.
DJ Anton has also appeared at (and recently organized) the infamous annual local show "Meltdown."
While not in the booth Anton continues to work as an IT & Multimedia consultant. He also has considerable electronic and audio knowledge which comes in handy when those systems go down and runs a small studio where he is cuurently working on a number of projects (including several Nu School Breaks / House remixes.)
Currently the resident DJ at the Sapphire Bar in Subiaco on Friday and Saturday nights.

The VINYL vs CD Debate - My 2c worth
I have heard several people say "Vinyl Sounds Better"
Give me a CD player, an EQ, and a compressor and I'll show you a CD that sounds just like vinyl. But I've never heard a 12" perform as well as a CD on a quality system.
The fidelity of CD Technology is vastly superior - everyone knows that. It offers almost completely flat 20Hz-20kHz frequency response with an enormous dynamic range.
However the quality of many club systems (and high ambient noise levels) means this difference may not be noticed.
However - Vinyl is a pleasure to mix with being far more "hands on" as a medium and it offers many more artists a chance / format to release and distribute their music. Just look at the vast selection / diversity (especially remixes) available on vinyl.
Despite this I use almost exclusively vinyl.
Sound Pressure Levels - Exposure
Many club / live venues (not to mention many car stereo systems!) are capable of delivering high sound pressure levels (SPL)
Included here is some basic info relating to SPL, exposure and safety.
The above is a chart based on the internationally recognized data from the World Health Organization.
The base reference for the "safe" level is 40 hours exposure at 85dB. For every 3 dB increase (a double in the peceived level) the exposure time halves.
As you can see many clubs expose staff / patrons to high audio levels (up and above the sound of the crowd.)
Management of such venues should
When attending large shows [which I wish to listen to / attend] I use a standard cylindrical "foamy" earplug (the type often sold by hardware shops) cut in half. They quite efficiently reduce the total level and actually increase the clarity of the sound. In fact it is EASIER to talk to people when wearing these than without. Try it - you won't be disappointed. Many associates of mine have tried and never looked back.
