After being exposed to The Loft and David Mancuso in the beginning, Tony has been a major contributor to house music culture since then. He held court as resident for years at the legendary Zanzibar Club in New Jersey, as well as spreading vibes across the nation to thousands of people via his Kiss-FM NY mastermixes, and soon after started to lend a hand with productions for artists too many to mention. He was also partly responsible for splitting the garage genre in half after he found out that "Closer Than Close" (performed by Rosie Gaines) was a Speed Garage anthem in England in the early 90's. He stopped playing the record in protest and therefore US Garage and UK Garage was born. In 1998, Tony gave life to Yellorange where he released many garage classics for 5 solid years. He closed it down after the collapse of Strictly Rhythm. There is no doubt that Tony Humphries has earned acknowledge and respect in the culture and is truly a house-hold legend. He also is known as the Godfather of the New Jersey sound to most. Today he runs Tony Records.
