Described as “The DJs, DJ” Anthony Pappa truly is a master of his craft and one of the most respected and revered DJs on the international circuit. The combination of his genuine love for his art, his down to earth, lovable personality and his constant desire to push the musical boundaries at performances all around the world has made Anthony one of the most sought after DJs on the planet.
A quick roll through the DJ yearbooks and you’ll see Anthony as DMC mixing champion at the tender age of 15, deciding to relocate from his native Australia to London to join the world DJ circuit at 20, having top 10 UK/ European chart success as part of Freefall at 22, compiling mix compilations for Renaissance at 24 and the first Global Underground Nu Breed series at 25. The impressive CV continues since with numerous club anthem singles, remixes and 6 mix compilations later (2 at 100,000 + in sales).
2008's "Moments" Mix album tour saw him play over 70 cities around the world and amass sales of over 12,000 copies. The second album in the Moments Series will be released in June.

OUT JUNE
Globetrotting DJ, dance music ambassador, musical aficionado and all round gentlemen, Anthony Pappa is all these and more. With a career spanning over 15 years, Anthony is one of the most respected figures on the international club scene and the latest instalment of his ‘Moments’ mix series proves he’s at the top of his game more than ever.
Welcome to ‘Moments Vol 2’. The inaugural ‘Moments’ album was released in 2008 to critical and public acclaim alike, and the second volume delivers an equally accomplished and exhilarating ride… and then some. It’s a sound that has been forged during his hectic DJ schedule over the last few months and then fine-tuned in the studio. Ever the perfectionist, Anthony has left no stone unturned, both in his search for exciting new music and making it all fit together to dramatic effect.
There’s hardly a country Anthony hasn’t played in and that’s reflected in the international track listing assembled for ‘Moments 2’. He’s secured plenty of exclusive material too including contributions from Greek producers Stel and Dousk, Gabe from Brazil, Russian duo Monaque. As well as good old home grown UK talent from Jim Rivers, Reset Robot & Fergie. Anthony gets involved in the action himself with ‘Blending With the Ether’, a new collaboration with fellow Australians Danny Bonnici from Nubreed and technical wizz DJ Phil K.
“I do over 200 flights a year all over the world,” he explains, “and that’s going to be reflected in my DJ sets. Music comes from everywhere these days and you’ve really got to keep your eyes and ears open on your travels.”
Anthony is no stranger to the mix CD, of course, and has worked with Renaissance, Global Underground and the Balance series among others. ‘Moments’ continues that proud tradition and as well as the latest upfront cuts, he’s equally at home including tracks that he’s been playing out for six months and which still have that special quality. It’s all about finding what’s a cut above the rest and Anthony has a knack for music that has that extra feeling or spark.
It’s about trying to find an album of those special tracks,” he says, “those special moments, if you like, and make them all work together. It’s been a year since the first ‘Moments’ came out and the music has moved on; this is Anthony Pappa 09 and the current sound of underground electronic music from house to techno.”
As well as compiling ‘Moments 2’, Anthony’s schedule is as busy as ever. He’s always on the lookout for new music to sign to his Red Light District imprint and puts together a monthly ‘Moments’ show on Proton Radio. Whenever a break in his DJ schedule allows, Anthony hits the studio and has recently been collaborating with Chad Jackson, another former DMC champion.
As one of the most travelled DJs out there, what keeps Anthony’s passion for the music strong?
“I love to play and I love the music; I get a real buzz out of making a dancefloor rock and making people happy. The travelling can be hard but once I arrive at the club and put my first track on, what I did to get there becomes irrelevant.
“It’s all about sharing the music you love with people so they can enjoy it. Each time I walk away thinking that was a really good night is special in itself; that’s a great moment there and then.”
It’s all about those special moments – enjoy.
