After more than 15 years in the game, Tony has been cooking grooves that balance underground grit with infectious energy. Now, he launches his own imprint House Delivery – a home for friends, family, and a community of like-minded artists who share his love for House, Tech House, and a healthy dose of groove.
The label kicks off with a spicy debut in Como Se Llama, a track that channels Tony’s underground edge while staying true to his trademark bounce. In recent years, Tony has carved a solid reputation across the global scene, with standout releases on Solid Grooves Raw, COCO, Issues, Edible, Toolroom, and Black Book. His collaboration with HUGEL further proved his versatility, delivering records that connect just as powerfully in sweaty after-hours rooms as they do on peak-time festival stages.
You’ve been releasing on labels like Solid Grooves Raw, COCO, and Black Book. What pushed you to create House Delivery rather than continuing solely through established imprints?
It’s always a pleasure to release on legendary labels like this, and I’ll continue of course. But I wanted to create my own imprint to have my own flavor, personal sound, and have a team of talented friends releasing some great stuff and of course being able to push younger artists.
You describe the label as a space for “friends, family, and community.” How do you plan to balance that sense of intimacy with the demands of running a professional label in a global scene?
For me, running a label has never just been about business, it’s always been about people, music, and just simply art. With my first label, we built something that felt like family: the artists supported each other, the fans were part of the journey, and that intimacy made everything more powerful. With this new chapter, I want to carry that same energy forward. Of course, the global scene comes with its own pressures, but I think the two can coexist. If you build trust, transparency, and genuine connections at the core, then the professional side doesn’t feel like a compromise it becomes an extension of the community spirit. The bigger we grow, the more important it is to keep that human element alive. And we also work with Toolroom which is one of the biggest label since years, they help us on everything legal wise etc. which will definitly be more than professional.
Como Se Llama sets the tone for House Delivery. What did you want this track to say about your vision for the label’s sound and identity?
I’ve been playing this track since a long time now, and it always works great on crowds, this track has, what a called ‚a tunnel‘ vibe, something hypnotic that brings you to a journey and which brings the crowd from a level, to a higher lever of energy. This is definitely the sound I want on the label. I also love that kind of ghetto vibe it has in the drums, something housy, minimal but kind of breakbeat at the same time. All of this is the color of House Delivery. And the next releases will be super powerful, so excited for those!
Your music has connected in very different contexts, from sweaty after-hours basements to big outdoor stages. How do you approach making tracks that work across such contrasting environments?
Such a great question. To be honest I’m just going with the vibe when I’m in the studio. Not thinking much about where, when and how I’ll play the tracks I’m working on. And I usually find out when it’s done and when it’s time to play. haha
You’ve been active for over 15 years. How has your perspective on the house and tech house scene shifted in that time, and how does House Delivery reflect where you see things heading?
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked on many different things, but I’ve always kept a special love for house and tech house. I think it’s one of the rare genres where tracks made 20 years ago can still sound fresh, effective, and really good today. That’s why I often like to go back to the roots to find inspiration, sometimes bringing old ideas back as they are, sometimes reworking them into something fresher. Back in the day, this scene was pretty underground. I think it still is, but little by little more people are starting to understand it and listen to it. Of course, there’s a more commercial side, but I wouldn’t really call that proper tech house. Hopefully, it keeps growing the way it has. In France, I feel it could be more active, and I really hope more people get into it. That’s exactly what we want to bring with House Delivery, pushing the scene further in my own country while also sharing our French flavor with the world.
Food and cooking metaphors run through the label’s concept. Beyond branding, what role does that imagery play for you creatively – does it reflect how you think about making music?
I always been a big fan of food (As my big belly can attest… haha). So when I searching about a new name for this new project, it felt natural when found something about food and music delivery direction. We also have a looot of fun ideas around this, and I can’t wait to show the world what we’re working on.
As a DJ, you’ve built your reputation in clubs and festivals across Europe. Which spaces or crowds have had the most impact on how you shape your sets and productions?
I always try to learn from new crowds and new cultures. I really enjoy playing long sets in intimate, sweaty venues with a lot of energy. But I also love big productions and huge crowds, because the energy there is just incredible too. That’s why I couldn’t choose between the two, I enjoy both. Still, long sets on any kind of stage are my favorite, because I love building something and taking people on a journey.
Looking ahead, what’s your ambition for House Delivery – do you see it more as a tight-knit collective, a platform to break new talent, or something larger that grows into its own ecosystem?
House Delivery will be about sharing music from my good friends, from myself, and from young talent as well. But it will always stay a family-based and friendly community. I don’t want it to become a ‘music factory’ or something too big and impersonal. I just want to push the music and the artists I truly believe in.
Thank you for this one! Super great questions :)
