He was voted Liverpool DJ of the Year in 2009, 2010 and 2012.

Anton is expected to kick off the weekend every Friday from 6pm in the mix.

He will also be unleashing KISSTORY classics on the KISSTORY station every Saturday from 1pm-5pm.

And bringing the weekend bangers to the nation every Saturday from 5pm-7pm on KISS before Majestic takes over for KISS Nights.

Anton said he is thankful and honoured to be joining an amazing team and cannot wait to get going.

He said: “I'm an obsessive listener of KISS & KISSTORY, always have been. I love what the station does & what it represents, so to now be part of the family is a long-standing dream coming to fruition.

“I’m very thankful & honoured to be joining the amazing team and I cannot wait to broadcast to the amazing KISS listeners every week playing the biggest & best new dance music as well as cramming in those current bangers and some sneaky KISSTORY gems too.

“To say I’m excited is an understatement, I am literally bursting to get going.”

Hailing from Liverpool, the platinum awarded artist has achieved in excess of 250 million streams and sold over 1.3 million singles in the UK alone.

Anton has gone on to play huge sets at world renowned festivals as well as being invited to play across the world from Ibiza to the USA and Australia.

KISS Content Director, Rebecca Frank said: “Anton is the perfect person to take our signature weekend party vibes to the next level across the KISS Network.

“He knows how to read the radio crowd so well, and the KISS team are already huge fans and friends of his. We can’t wait to welcome him properly to the squad.”
