DJ Andy Hunter releases EP LIFE to critical acclaim
Internationally acclaimed UK artist DJ Andy Hunter released the six-song EP Life on May 24, to critical acclaim. His follow-up to 2002’s full-length album Exodus is a new collection of his signature ambient sound, supported by a greater use of guitars and live stringed instrumentation, and offers sonic images of Christ bringing new life to barren wasteland.
Hunter says,
For me, being a DJ isn’t about being trendy. It’s an act of worship and inviting people to enter in. The focus is on God. It’s about leading people into new places with music they haven’t heard before
Hunter’s breakout success came with 2002’s Exodus, which produced major film, TV and video game placements for his songs ‘Go’ and ‘The Wonders of You’ on The Matrix: Reloaded (trailer), the movie The Italian Job, ABC’s Alias and the Black Hawk Down video game, among others. Hunter recently performed at the Microsoft-sponsored opening night party for Midem in Cannes, France, and he was featured at the Digital Entertainment Anywhere Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 launch event in Los Angeles, hosted by Microsoft Corp. chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates.
Also coming up for Hunter is his first main stage appearance at Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, IL on Friday, July 1, closing the night out for Skillet and tobyMac. In addition, he has been invited to teach two seminars on Saturday afternoon, ‘How to DJ’ and ‘Lead Worship as a DJ’ as well as to lead the music in the Dance Club later that night.

I saw Andy at the Youth Specialties Conference in 2003. He led a worship service with turntables. I can’t say as it facilitated my worship all that much, but he seemed sincere. And for those into that style of music, I’m sure it’s a wonderful tool for worship. Keep DJ’ing Andy!
