The Antilles story starts somewhere back in 1999, when after a few years of musical un-creativity I bought a synthesizer workstation and started to compose instrumental pop songs. A website was created as an outlet to release the songs to the world. From 2000 – 2002 a handful of instrumental songs were offered to download on the webpage. In 2000 a cover version of Alphaville’s “Jerusalem” was released on the Alphaville fan tribute CD, “We heard the Call”.
Bored with the limitations of instrumental songs, I took a hiatus from composing and started to write lyrics. For a year or so the main creative outlet was writing songs. Next I started looking for a singer – male or female – to take Antilles to the next level.
To realize the ambitions a studio environment was built and more synthesizers and equipment were added. In 2005, singer Anne Christine lends her voice to the project and the track “A Different Place”, (originally an instrumental track) was spontaneously recorded. Her vocal turned out to fit the Antilles sound very well and the collaboration started.
With Anne Christine onboard the recording process slowly started. In 2006 the tracks “’You & Me” and “Something New” was recorded and stated the characteristics of the now well-established Antilles sound. The songs quickly drew attention on the internet and developed a following. The songs also started to draw the attention of DJ’s and records companies.
In 2007 “You & Me” was released on a synthpop vinyl compilation by French label, Cosmic Radio. The song was the opening track on the album.
In 2008 Antilles was contacted by MajorRecords, a German label specialized in electronic music. After some consideration is was decided that MajorRecords was the ideal label to release Antilles. Album is out NOW!

Thank you, David! Now i'm going to buy your Album (sadly its only on i-tunes not on the german amazon). You will here some tracks on my webradio www.laut.fm/soundsystem
Hi, Antilles Everything well? I’m here with a new about my work. It’s the releasing of a remix I produced this summer for Future Shock Records. The track is featured by the female singer Birgit (an incredible voice, for my taste) and it has been a great honour for me to get the chance to work with this Estonian singer. In this case I’m presenting commercial dance music, not trance or electro-trance so I guess it’s an easy listening. Anyway, you have the right word. If you are interested in getting this remix for radio shows or whatever, please, don’t hesitate to contact me. Kind regards and much respect from me.
thanx a lot for the add - lovely music on your page, especially "friendly fire" in both versions and "And then another day". Btw, the synth lines of "A different place" somehow reminds me of the sound of Alphaville's "Big in Japan", maybe you use the same old cool synthesizer :) Wish you much success with your music, electronic Greetings from Munich/Germany
