Bad Habits Die Hard

From Defected.com:

Many people think ATFC is a group, and considering his success you’d be forgiven for thinking so. ATFC is one man, Aydin (The Funky Chile), with three UK top forty hits, a successful independent label Onephatdeeva, a full on DJ international DJ schedule and a reputation for consistently delivering quality remixes. ATFC is a DJ that has been prolific since the early days of house music and unlike many others from that era, has consistently produced incredible dance records and has stayed firmly on top. From his early chart toppers 'Bad Habit', 'Sleep talk' and 'In and Out of My life', he has experienced a renaissance with his main room sound. He has consistently produced innovative and outstanding tracks and remixes including 'Praise to the JB's, his latest single which has already been a Beatport No.1 success.


His recent remix of Dubfire's 'Roadkill' was described as 'verging on genius' by Pete Tong while 'Ya Killin Me' was sought out by all the major players in the house world, eventually finding a home at Mark Knight's Toolroom imprint. It's with Defected however that the majority of his new material is being showcased. ''It's really good to be working with the team again.'' he says. ''I'd got to a point where I wanted to make records for other labels again and to have someone else shout about my music for a change. There's not many better labels than Defected to do that.'' It's fair to say that he's in now way resting on his laurels. ''Defected are keeping me really very busy. I have singles coming with singers including, Mone, Yasmeen and Rae. This week I'm remixing Chris Lakes next single and will be starting the promotion for Bad Habit pretty soon no doubt.'' One of ATFC's most recogniseable (and successful) tracks 'Bad Habit' has been given a fresh set of remixes by the man himself and is already causing quite a stir. Check out the new mixes Released next week, it's guaranteed to set a few people to reminisce about the classic, while demonstrating exaclty why ATFC is so prolific to this day.
