Tony Humphries‘ impeccable pedigree reaches back nearly four decades and stems from his time as a mastermixer at New York’s revered radio station, Kiss FM, where he learned the structure and standards that make his delivery the nuanced mastery that it is today. But it was across the river in New Jersey where he would become known as the King of House for his genre-blending sets at Club Zanzibar. A brilliant mix of gospel, mambo, R&B, rock and whatever else caught his ear, Tony’s marathon stretches were a dance party no one wanted to miss.
A genuine DJ’s DJ, here from a Katamama Rooftop Suite, Tony sheds light on his industry experience while we surprise him with a musical tribute.
