Anders Enkvist founded the Spiral Trax label group in 1997 in Gothenburg, but his DJ career had began in 1990 after he had previously visited London and its Second Summer of Love social phenomenon,… Read morewhich saw the rise of acid house music and unlicensed rave parties, and also experienced the Balearic sound in 1989 during a visit to the Spanish island of Ibiza.
For several years, Anders Enkvist was involved in promoting the most prolific music parties on Sweden's west coast. He ceased this endeavor upon the establishment of Gothenburg's inaugural specialized dance music record store in 1993. Subsequently, his international DJ career began to flourish. As a logical advancement in his professional journey, he opted to create a record label dedicated exclusively to Scandinavian music, leading to the inception of Spiral Trax. In an effort to offer artists from beyond Scandinavia the opportunity to release their works under the label, Spiral Trax International was founded in 1999.
In the same year, Anders Enkvist's DJ-persona, DJ Anti, released the compilation , a milestone in trance history that has had a great importance in making the Scandinavian trance sound popular all over the world.
In no time, DJ Anti was getting requests to play from all over the globe. Eventually, he could no longer combine this with running the record shop and therefore, saw no other solution than to let it go.
During frequent engagements in Paris, Anders was encouraged to explore France's renowned wine regions, where he cultivated a profound appreciation for exquisite grapes. In 2006, he made the decision to pursue his burgeoning passion for wine by enrolling in the sommelier program at the School of Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Meal Science in Grythyttan, Sweden. There, he received instruction from prominent figures in the Swedish hospitality sector, including the 2007 Sommelier World Champion, Andreas Larsson. Studying alongside another former world champion, Arvid Rosengren, proved to be an inspiring experience. Anders further refined his expertise by working at several highly acclaimed restaurants in his hometown of Gothenburg and graduated in 2008 with the distinguished Penfolds Scholarship.
Since obtaining his sommelier diploma in 2008, Anders Enkvist has worked in fine wine trade and distribution, first with distributors in Sweden before becoming a Key Account Manager and Corporate Sommelier for two different foreign wine distributors, where he initially based himself in the Maldives and later in Sri Lanka.
In 2017, Anders Enkvist, together with a partner, realized his dream when they jointly established a wine trade and distribution business under their own brand on the Spanish island of Ibiza, an island Anders has fallen in love with and to which he has regularly returned in his free time year after year since 1989.
In 2023, new music also emerged on DJ Anti's Soundcloud account.
