DJ Antoine & Akon


The house scene today would be unimaginable without DJ Antoine. Always well turned out and being wooed by top sponsors (Paco Rabanne, Hummer (General Motors), Campary, SKYY Vodka, Moonlight, Chupa Chups, J. Lindeberg, Y3, Podspeakers, Numark etc.), this trendsetter is also an attention-getter. Following a 10-year sprayer career as a bad boy in Basel's hip-hop scene, Antoine was gripped by the pumpin' house wave and has ridden it to the max ever since.
