Biography

Tony De Vit, (b. Kidderminster, England on September 12, 1957) was a hard house/hard dance DJ. He started DJing at the Nightingale in Birmingham.

De Vit was HIV-positive, and his health deteriorated. On July 2 1998 he died due to bronchial pneumonia and bone-marrow failure.

There are very few DJ’s that can lay claim to the fact that they were there in the beginning of the creation of dance music as we know it today, and … , there are even fewer individuals who can claim that they were playing records throughout the many changing genres of dance music over the years, with only a handful of DJ’s who can lay claim to the fact that they reflect an eclectic style in their music and DJ’ing, one that truly embodies the dance music culture.

However, there was one such individual who could lay claim to all of these things: Tony de Vit.

Tony de Vit began DJ’ing at the tender age of 17, playing at local pubs in his home town of Kidderminster, followed in his early 20’s, by his first residency at the ‘Nightingale’ in Birmingham on a Monday night. His Monday night slot progressed into midweek Wednesday nights and then to the main Friday and Saturday night slots. In a relatively short space of time de Vit, through his talent and the diversity of his music, had taken the ‘Nightingale’ from a kitsch gay haunt to a respected club.
