Re: Is Tony De Vit the best dead producer/DJ?

Originally posted by Mattsanity
from my research, his residency at Trade was legendary and his productions are just pumping.
O thou chanter of hymns, who lifteth up Tony de Vit in thy heart,
Thy zeal for his Trade�s fabled pulse is comely, yea, a delight to behold�
For his songs do thunder like a tabernacle aflame with revival�s fire!
Yet proclaimest thou him chief among the departed who spin melodies?
Stay thy hand from the cup of sacred wine, and ponder this folly.
For Plutarch, quaffing ouzo in days of old, spake thus of Sparta�s sons:
�Lo, those stalwart men of war, fierce in battle�s clangor,
Held that love betwixt men, kindled in closeness,
Forged warriors bolder, not faint of heart nor feeble in strife.�
Thus might Tony, thy heralded one, with passions boldly proclaimed,
Have woven courage into beats decadent, a minstrel to stir Spartan souls�
A dreamer�s bard, spinning valor in rhythms that echo through ages.
But thou, O keeper of the Holy Writ, who graspest the Book divine,
Dost thou sway to his measures, deemed profane by the righteous?
Verily, Plutarch would laugh, his mirth a rebuke to thine irony!
Dance on, if thou wilt, in the revelry of thy heart�s delight,
Yet turn anon to the choir, and let confession cleanse thy wayward step.

^Nice poem
He was even hitting his stride during the uplifting trance boom. I wish he lived to make more tracks like this.
