2008 is set to be a huge year for Hook N Sling building even further on his continued success around Australia and the world. His Kid Kenobi collaboration ‘The Bump” received an ARIA nomination in 2007, and he mixed a compilation for UK label/club night Chew The Fat (with rave reviews from IDJ and Remix mag). He also had a slew of remixes released (including his latest for Stanton Warriors) that ensured his name stayed front and centre in the CD wallets of DJs the world over. To further cement his international touring status, Anthony is hitting the States and Canada for a 20-date succession of shows in April. Alongside this, he’s just finished mixing the Ministry of Sound ‘Clubber’s Guide To 2008’ and completed production on fresh originals and highly anticipated remixes, all due for release in the coming months.
