DJ Antoine

DJ Antoine is a house DJ/producer who enjoyed phenomenal success in his Swiss homeland, where his albums regularly charted in the Top Ten and occasionally reached number one. Born Antoine Konrad and based in Basel, he established himself on the Swiss dance scene during the late '90s with both mix albums (e.g., The Pumpin' House Mix, 1997) and 12" EP releases (e.g., Do It, 1998), the latter generally produced in tandem with Mad Mark (born Fabio Antoniali). DJ Antoine experienced breakthrough success in 2000 with the mix album Houseworks 01 -- a Top 20 hit that became his first release to appear on the Swiss albums chart -- and then again later in the year with Mainstation, another mix album, this one a Top Ten hit. In subsequent years, DJ Antoine released a steady stream of albums -- some DJ mixes, other production showcases -- and they regularly charted in the Top Ten and occasionally reached number one: Houseworks 02 (2001), Lake Parade (2001), DJ Antoine (2002), Mainstation 02 (2002), Lake Parade 02 (2002), Ultraviolet (2002), Summer Anthems (2003), Mainstation 03 (2003), Houseworks 04 (2003), 100% (2004), Mainstation 04 (2004), Houseworks 05 (2004), The Black Album (2005), Mainstation 05 (2005), Live in Dubai (2005), Houseworks 06 (2006), Live in St. Tropez (2006), Live in Moscow (2006), Jealousy (2007), Mainstation 07 (2007), Vive la Révolution?
