Ant Enoch

For the comedown after a night of drinking or a rainy bus journey after a difficult farewell, Ant Enoch has a tailor-made soundtrack with therapeutic qualities up his sleeve. The DIY producer from Bankstown – a suburb of Sydney – combines melancholy and the aesthetics of popular 80s dance ballads to create a touching melange for the dreariness of the post-pandemic present – as an antidote, a tranquiliser, a comforter. Recorded in the back room of a mattress factory, his debut EP, ‘Big Talk Big Party’ (2024), is the best proof of the extraordinary skills that Ant Enoch knows how to utilise with a few Japanese vintage drum machines, his inherited piano, and his voice. Produced in Bankstown and mastered in Berlin by none other than Julia Borelli (Rüfüs Du Sol, Monolink), singles such as ‘Television’ and ‘Tunnel Road’ show an impressive level of stylistic confidence with which Ant Enoch realises his artistic vision. Anyone looking for emotional authenticity and an auditory balm for the soul will not be disappointed by his live show.
