I recently interview Tony Burt, one half of product duo Silver and Burt. Silver and Burt were renowned for bringing a harder European trance sound to the UK with releases such as 'The Ultimate Wave' and remixes such as 'Equinoxe 4'. Tony also ran Above the Sky Records with a vibrant roster of artists that helped champion the same sound in the UK.
