DJ SWITCH

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
Two time DMC World battle champ and party starter

Anthony John Culverwell is an ordinary middle-class citizen of the British Isles…by day. But by night-time, he transforms into his alternative persona, the superhuman speed machine DJ SWITCH!!! Erm, actually no he doesn’t. But to say that Switch’s estoric rise to fame is nothing less than dramatic would be very accurate - five times UK DJ champion (an unprecedented feat), three consecutive UK supremacy titles (another unprecedented feat), two back-to-back WORLD battle titles (erm, yeah another one), and all by the tender age of twenty!

The clean-shaven Brummie has been featured on Blue Peter, BBC Breakfast, MTV, Radio 1 and 1Xtra. You may be shocked to know that he’s been going since he was eleven, and has chalked up headline gigs from Bulgaria to China to Denmark to every county in England. And Tony’s support slots read like a who’s who of the musical world, including DJ Yoda, Shy FX, Nero, DJ Kentaro, Jack Beats, The Scratch Perverts, Jazzy Jeff & Public Enemy.

His performances are a combination of mesmerising scratch skills, visceral visuals and stunning track selection - all combining to leave the crowd staring in awe and dancing till they drop. At the same time, if physically possible.

DJ Switch is something very special indeed and WILL rock the party!
