I, Anthony Slater, entered the DJ scene as a result of a lack of trance in the West Michigan area. Originally holding the Chandni name, which lives on as an alias for Trance and Progressive, I have branched out to other related genres all under the name of Antonio Leone. I am currently attending GRCC's Music Program to perfect the art of producing music for all the world to enjoy. I love many genres but Trance & Progressive are what sing to my heart the most of any.

Aliases:
Chandni
Trance & Progressive
My focus with this sound is usually deep bass and spacey or twinkling high-range melodies. Most commonly I will play Trance & Progressive, but I won't neglect a good House, Minimal, or Techno track that fits. When moving into the trance, I tend to favour tracks with orchestral breaks.
I release a Chandni mix once every full moon titled "Moonlit Wanderlust."
Chandni is a Hindi name for women meaning moonlight. A moonlit night provides inspiration for this sound, and the feminine association symbolises the beautiful, peaceful, soft sound that defines this alias.
DigitaLion
Hard Dance
With this sound my focus is all on energy, playing anywhere from 140-150 BPM. My typical sound will involve Hard Trance, Hard Techno, and sometimes little bit of Bounce & Scouse.
DigitaLion mixes are titled "Warehouse #."
DigitaLion represents electronic, digital sound and the ferocity of a lion. The lion also refers to my logo and "Leone," an Italian surname meaning "Lion." It was the surname held by my great grandfather.
Amdukias
Terrorcore & Hardstyle
I think the "Terrorcore" pretty much sums up the goal of this alias. This is a rarely used alias.
Amdukias is recorded in old Catholic books as being the name of a demon of hell. Amdukias was reportedly a demon who reigned over music. When summoned, the sound of trumpets would be heard, and trees would bend over. Amdukias was a high-ranking demon who had control of many other demons beneath him. He could be summoned to play a concert in which hundreds of otherworldly sounds could be heard. |
