We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.

What the organisers say

We're beyond thrilled to announce the highly-anticipated return of the international sensation, Fat Tony, to Sonar & The Treasury in Plymouth. Following the monumental success of last year's sold-out show, it was a natural choice to bring back this clubland icon for another unforgettable night. With an illustrious 35-year career under his belt, Fat Tony has not only shared the stage with legends such as Carl Cox, Sasha, Roger Sanchez, and Andrew Weatherall, but has also left an indelible mark on the global music scene. His influence extends far beyond the beats, as he is a key player in London's vibrant dance culture and a prominent musical influencer in the fashion world. Holding residencies for powerhouse brands like the Beckham brands, Versace, and British Vogue, Fat Tony's impact is felt far and wide. Join us for an evening filled with musical mastery, high-fashion vibes, and an experience that will stay with you long after the night ends.

Fat Tony – real name Tony Marnach – went from London council estate to best mate of Kate Moss and Boy George, and one of the party scene’s most notoriously hedonistic DJs. Since becoming sober 15 years ago, he’s forged a career as fashion’s go-to DJ and an LGBTQ+ activist.
