This week on Changes we bring you DJ Fat Tony!

‍

Fat Tony is one of the most iconic figures of London’s nightlife scene. His extraordinary four-decade DJ career has seen him spinning tracks for everyone from Madonna to Prince, but was paired with a drug addiction that almost killed him. Tony’s 2022 Sunday Times bestselling memoir ‘I Don’t Take Requests’, is a shocking, honest, yet also at times hilarious account of his life. It’s filled with wild stories about his past and heartbreaking reflections on his journey through addiction, recovery, and transformation.

‍

In this live episode of Changes, recorded at Before Midnight in Gunnersbury Park, Tony and I dive deep into Tony’s life from his upbringing in Battersea, to his teenage years spent on the legendary Kings Road, to the dark depths of addiction and his return to clubbing as a sober DJ. We talk about Tony’s love for music, how UK nightlife has evolved over the years (the rise of the day party!), and talk through the highs and lows of DJ culture.

‍

This conversation was a rollercoaster. We were all crying one minute and laughing the next. Tony was such good company. I hope you enjoy this episode xx
