Product Information

There have been tears, tantrums (multiple), memory gaps to fill, I’ve been (almost) fired at least 76 times – it never happened, loyalty is one of Tony’s greatest qualities – hung up on more times than I can remember, and I’ll happily admit that there have been a few balls dropped on my behalf, too. Back then he was playing at the Playground but soon started his own night, Total Fashion Victim, then Jungle in 1985, which became the first place to play garage and house.

The difference was that everyone in New York wanted to be in London, and everyone in London wanted to be in New York. I’d had thirty years of destruction, and just survival, and there’s a big difference between surviving and living. What was lovely was Tony's reconnection with his dad, largely down to a criminal charge and court appearance. At multiple points throughout Fat Tony comes across as extremely unlikeable yet somehow (possibly as a result of many years of therapy and making amends) has me rooting for him the whole way through.I post a lot of drug memes and I post a lot of trauma memes, but I post them to laugh because laughing takes the power out of that stuff. But in Ibiza, we could be who we wanted to be, we could wear what we wanted to wear, and nobody would bat an eyelid.

I used to think, oh I’m not getting on with them because they’re not like me, but thank God there’s no more people like me! I’d been in a police cell for four days and I went to court and they put me straight into Pentonville. After going viral in our documentary a couple of years back, the most famous DJ you have actually now heard of has released a biography that goes into even further detail about his story as the Soho club kid who turned the London and New York scenes upside down during the heyday of clubbing. The first thought always gets me into trouble, but it’s the second and third thoughts that I act on today.listened to Fat Tony reading this on Audible and whilst he definitely isn’t as polished as other narrators, it was absolutely the best way to hear his story.
