    EP 8 - Anthony Pappa

    Episode 8 and we are chatting to one of my personal Dj heroes, originally from Melbourne but moved to the UK to work for Dave Seaman at Stress records. Since that move, Anthony has risen through the ranks of underground house music djs. He's released multiple mix compilation CD's, toured all over the world and produced one of the biggest dance music anthems of all time. (Freefall - Skydive)
    His Facebook lock down live streams went into the millions of views and he currently has a calender of gigs booked in for this year as long as your arm!
