Some artists just need a few key­words in their descrip­tion and the coun­ter­part knows directly who you are talk­ing about. The keeper of this biog­ra­phy is among this species of artists. He is polar­iz­ing in many kinds – with his appear­ance, his uncom­pro­mis­ing rock­ing DJ sets, his own events, mul­ti­func­tional pro­duc­tions and his fun with his hedo­nis­tic artist life, that he is shar­ing with any­one who has got the same sense of humor. So we are talk­ing about a born-andbred worka­holic from the music scene, who is unmasked by a hand­ful key­words like “Flash­ing Disco Sounds”, “Dort­mund”, “Diskobear”, “ape­of­fice”, “Moon­boo­tique”, “Sys­tem­atic” and “Ante TV” world­wide as chief rocker Ante Perry. Flash­ing Disco Sounds are on his agenda. That is why he is not only using them as descrip­tion of his sound, but also as title of one of his most suc­cess­ful series of events, a dou­ble Mix-Cd and one out of it result­ing E.P. with own tracks. As a DJ Ante is that, what the ver­nac­u­lar is call­ing “secure invest­ment”. No mat­ter where he plays his eclec­tic sets, he knows to fit in any sit­u­a­tion of a party like a chameleon but still keep­ing his own taste, regard­less of play­ing deep house, techno or in big rooms.

Dort­mund is the home­base of this Ruhrpott roman­tic who is very attached to his home­town. If some­one played a main part, in Dort­mund man­i­fest­ing as a part of the inter­na­tional scene, it was dort­munds jack-of-all-trades Ante. Diskobear is his nick­name, which is long ago not only used any­more by his clos­est friends. It doesn‘t bother him. He seems like being so amused with his new role, that it became an own ele­ment in this biog­ra­phy. That makes him, being the only Diskobear to bus­tle a bar­rel of monkeys/bunch of apes. ape­of­fice is the name of the implied agency, that is leav­ing its own brand­mark in most parts of ger­many because of its events. True to the motto “Not only we know how to rave, but also we know how to orga­nize it”, the ape­of­fice has shown with events like Flash­ing Disco Sounds, Erste Liga, Heim­spiel im Sta­dion, AEEW, Zucker­brot und Peitsche, Home14, Elec­tronic Nation and not to for­get the Mix­ery Love Sen­sa­tion @ Lovepa­rade 2008, that an exces­sive use of bananas paired with fun at work and love for the music are a safety for­mula for suc­ces­ful events and ecsta­tic crowds.

Moon­boo­tique, the label from the famous duo Moon­boot­ica, is the home­base for his pro­duc­tions, that mostly result of coop­er­a­tions with his “part­nersin– crime” Tube & Berger or Kolombo. Also on Marc Rom­boys label Sys­tem­atic you can find suc­ces­full releases. Tracks like “Beach Power”, “Der Urk­nall” and “1,2,3,4” (remixed from Kabale und Liebe) made Ante take his per­ma­nent place in playlists of inter­na­tional top DJs like Lau­rent Gar­nier, John Dig­weed, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, DJ Hell, M.A.N.D.Y., Anja Schnei­der, Karotte, Matthias Tanz­mann, Joris Voorn or Charles Web­ster. As for­mer A&R of Moguai and Phil Fuld­ners labels Punx and Polo Records, Ante surely knows what it takes/needs for a real club hit. Even the Major Com­panie “Warner Music” saw the great poten­tial in his work and ordered a remix for Jen­nifer Ros­tocks Pop-Anthem “Du willst mir an die Wäsche”. Ante TV The fun­ster does not run an own TV-Channel (yet). In spite of every­thing Ante is not only bril­liant behind the decks, his events and stu­dio equip­ment, but also in front of the cam­era. With Ante TV he com­mits him­self to Video Pod­cast­ing and amuses his audi­ence with his self made Road Movies. As one of the fewest DJs he made it to a motion pic­ture movie and plays the role of Chief-Commisioner Udo Alte in the Ruhrpott Block­buster “Oh For­tuna” start­ing in may 2010. A Dort­mund Diskobear with his Flash­ing Disco Sounds is just about to begin…
