ARTIST/DJ BACKGROUND: TONY FINGER

Cape Town’s hottest new import is French-Italian DJ and producer Tony Finger. After 20 years spinning records around the world, Tony has picked the Mother City as base camp, bringing his blend of cool electro and sexy Continental house to thrill local party people. With residencies and guest appearances in London, Paris, Moscow, Lisbon and Eastern Europe, Tony has held his own alongside international house legends Bob Sinclar, Daft Punk, Superfunk, Ron Carroll, Junior Sanchez, Boy George and Deep Dish. And he was a firm favourite amongst fashionistas at the Paris Fashion Week for many years!

Tony’s nurtured his passion for electronic music since the tender age of 16, when he bought his first turn tables. Since then he’s traversed many musical genres, counting his influences from Donna Summers’ disco to Kraftwerk’s synth 80s electro. Much of Tony’s musical genius grew from the sounds of Paris - Daft Punk, Etienne de Crecy, Bob Sinclar and Superfunk.

Tony’s legendary flair behind the decks has already landed him top gigs on the local scene (MCQP, Guess 25th Party, Swanky) with Goldfish, Dino Moran, Lady Lea, Craig De Sousa, Roger Goode. Tony’s also a regular hit at Cape Town hotspots FTV and the Mbar. Tony’s musical talent extends beyond the decks to his weekly radio show Rock Da House on Derek the Bandit’s Soundrepublic internet radio, and regular guest slots with The Nightwatchmen on Good Hope FM.

South African party people and lovers of super sexy electro sounds, dust off your dancing shoes, because this year you’re in Tony Finger’s hands!
