Tony Maione was truly musically born at the end of the 70's after a steady
diet of Pop and Rock music fuelled his early years. He discovered the nature
of the DJ and Dance Music in 1979 in a little club where Dance Music of the
time was regularly pumping through the house sound system. He was fascinated
to feel this kind of music and sought out to experience DJs mixing 2 songs
together. So much so that he started on his way to becoming a DJ. Within 2
years Tony was playing records in the small club outside Naples and soon
after worked his way into the most important club in Naples. In 1988 Tony
had a great opportunity come his way and went to work with one of the best
Italian Label/Distributor: Flying Records.
In 1989 he was resident DJ at Poggio, and a pioneer in Naples for the house
music he brought to the turntables. Early in 1990 Tony Maione started to
produce some songs with top labels in Italy, the UK, and the USA like: UMM,
Irma Rec., Sole Music, Vinyl Peace, Masquerade.
In 1998 Tony Maione together with his partner T.White established their own
label Catch the Vinyl, and soon opened their record store House Tracks
specializing only in House Music from all over the world. They have been
collaborating with producers, DJs, labels, media and clubs both locally and
internationally since the inception of House Tracks.
