    Saw him in Limerick in the 90`s , he rocked it, been to Trade , Final Frontier, seen him, Mrs Woods and a few others, it was of a time and a scene, a bit like Berghain now, its their thing but other people from other walks of life want to have a nose..no harm.

    Some people believe that de Vit was overrated, while others believe that he was a talented and innovative DJ. His supporters point to his popularity and influence, while his critics argue that his music was repetitive and unoriginal.

    Ultimately, whether or not Tony de Vit was overrated is a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong answer.

    Unoriginal ?

    He created 2 sub-genres, Hard House & Hardbag, and it's not a coincidence those genres fell apart a year after he died. And he played everything from Funky & Acid House at 125 bpm to German Hard Trance and Trancecore at 165 bpm. He remixed artists as diverse from Bananarama, Marc Almond & Taylor Dane to E-Trax, Epik & Awex.

    You could argue he wasn't the most skilled DJ in a technical sense,but like Graeme Parks once said, you could be the most technically skilled DJ on the planet but if your track selection and ability to adapt to certain audiences was poor it didn't matter how technically skilled you were at mixing, cutting, fading, scratching etc. and TDV was great with his track selection & adapting to certain crowds and basic beat matching.
