Once a behind-the-counter fixture of London’s Phonica Records, Anthea now disseminates her distinct brand of funk-fuelled music to every corner of the globe as a world-renowned DJ, a producer for Cecille, Phonica, Freak n Chic and Desolat, as vocalist and collaborator alongside many of the scene’s underground heroes, and as the A&R expert behind the sound of Brouqade Records.

Anthea’s rise from the East London club scene to tours of the U.S., Europe and South America stems from her roof-raising sets at local institutions Fabric and T-Bar. After landing coveted podcasts for Ibiza Voice and Get The Curse, Anthea fielded invites from Watergate in Berlin, Harry Klein in Munich, Underground in Ibiza, and Gipsy in Moscow to name a select few. Anthea is a DJ first and foremost, and this shines through her infectious performances for leading clubs and festivals around the world.

Casting an eye over Anthea’s productions, it’s apparent that quality is valued over quantity; her releases and remixes have been carefully selected, and associations with Freak ‘n Chic, Phonica, All Inn, One Records, Desolat and air london speak to her esteem amongst the scene’s leading labels. Anthea’s keen sense for mood, groove, and sleek sound aesthetics saw early efforts on Supplement Facts and Tuningspork, and further releases on Supernature and Bootleg. As a solo artist Anthea continues to develop a style that is very much her own: deep, tribal and bassline-driven.

Anthea’s collaborations with close friend Alex Celler produced some studio chemistry, and two years on, their track “The Playmaker” still holds a place as one of Resident Advisor's Top 40 tracks of all time. Anthea also joined forces with Werner Niedermeier as JC Freaks, for a run of deep and classy EPs for Mojuba and Wandering. Her recent feature and vocal work on Guti’s album Patio de Juegos, as well as her collaboration with label partner-in-crime Dana Ruh on “Track 3” are further testament to her creative collaborations.  

As one third of Berlin’s young and uprising Brouqade Records — alongside Dana Ruh and Ann M Cazal — Anthea’s sharp A&R perspective has resulted in a string of fresh and exciting producers being brought to the fore as the artists of tomorrow, with label showcases high in demand.

While currently busy with a program of Brouquade events which promise a number of high-profile guests in the near future, further Anthea releases on Crazyjack, Mobilee, Desolat, Kina and of course Brouqade are all in the pipeline.

With an emphasis on creating, and not imitating, Anthea has laid more than solid foundations for herself in 2013, and beyond that there lies nothing but an inspired future.
