Ant has been DJ'ing since 1994. It was the fact that he was already involved within London's free/warehouse party scene that he decided to start playing and as a result, was given the chance to play on various sound systems around at that time. It wasn't long before Ant had built a reputation for himself as a solid, unique and consistent techno DJ and had earned the respect of many people throughout the scene, including Chris, Julian and Aaron Liberator. For the next 2 years, he concentrated on improving and defining his style by playing for Immersion Sound System and had progressed to playing a handful of gigs in France, Germany, Czech Republic and Holland. This proved to be valuable experience. It was in 1997, just about the time when Ant was first getting involved in producing, he got his first gig in America. Ant considered this to be an important step, playing along side John Selway and Christopher Lawrence. Ant realised in order to maintain these opportunities he would have to concentrate on writing and producing more. He had some basic studio experience, co-writing with Guy McAffer, DAVE The Drummer and D.D.R., but hadn't written anything on his own. After a short 6 month studio-tech course, he was given the job of house engineer at Kinetec Studio (where he still works today) by D.D.R. and Kinetec boss, Mark Harrington. This was the opportunity that Ant had been looking for and provided him with the knowledge and skills that he relies on today. As a result of writing records at Kinetec and releasing them on such labels as Stay Up Forever, Cluster, Smitten, Hazchem, Infected, Maximum Minimum and Bang On, he started to receive more DJ work both national and international, as well as gaining recognition from DJ's such as Carl Cox, who has licensed numerous tracks from Ant for CD mixes, the most notable of which being Carl Cox's Global Mix. It was also having the opportunity to play throughout the U.K. and abroad in countries such as Poland, USA, Canada, Venezuela, Brazil, South Africa and Japan that enabled him to join the Stay Up Forever DJ Agency, where he is still represented to date. In July 2000, Ant decided to start his own record label based from Kinetec Studio, called Power Tools. It was in conjunction with Infectious Distribution. Unfortunately, Infectious went bankrupt in 2002, denting many labels and related companies, but Power Tools survived, fortunately being picked up by the Stay Up Forever Collective and Truelove with distribution by Amato. Power Tools is now a stable ingredient within the collective, releasing new material roughly every month. Ant's musical knowledge doesn't stop at techno. He has the ability to produce a wide range of different styles. Normally when writing something other than techno, he has been known to use different pseudonyms. In 2001, he teamed up with Thermobee to produce “Stoned Trance” on Strata Records. This record was licensed by Tall Paul's label, Duty Free Recordings, as well as CD licences from Ministry Of Sound, Pete Tong's Clubbers Bible, EMI and Bedrock. The track also reached number 14 in the U.K. Dance Charts. He has also written music for television programmes and commercials for such companies as MTV Europe and Sony.
