Antal

If you have ever seen Antal dj, you know the amount of energy he brings to his rotary mixer is unparalleled. Here is someone who feels the vibe and understands how to bring it across. Apart from being an exceptional DJ, Antal is also an co-founder of〈Rush Hour Records〉. With a record collection as huge as it is wide in taste, he is just as comfortable spinning Chicago and Detroit influenced house as he is playing rare Afro funk, forgotten Surinam disco or a beautiful boogie gem. Things all got an extra push after a magical gig at the famous Lowlands Festival in 2014, together with Hunee. He started playing all over the world, from Oslo to Singapore and from Tokyo to San Francisco. Since 1997, Antal runs the mighty Rush Hour Records in Amsterdam. It’s a vast empire that encompasses a reliable distribution wing as well as a much-loved record store chock full of vinyl, bought during on-going crate digging trips. The label, in the meantime, releases house and techno from the vanguard at the same time as reissuing long forgotten classics that serve to educate whole new generations about what has gone before. You could say Antal himself serves the same purpose when DJing.
