biography

In 1989 Child played in a band called Blim , where he met Paul Damage . After meeting Birmingham-based producer Regis from Downwards Records in 1994, he released the tracks Magneze and Electronically Tested , which were very well received worldwide. This was followed by the LPs "Basictonalvocabulary" and "Balance" on Tresor Records. The common band Certain Beyond All Reasonable Doubt was a first musical swing away from the dance floor for Surgeon. Her albums “Anthony Child / Dr. Andrew Read ”and“ Certain Beyond All Reasonable Doubt (live in Berlin) ”have been causing a sensation since 1998.

January 1999 the third album "Force and Form" was released for Tresor.

In 2001 the EP "British Murder Boys" (together with Regis) was voted one of the best tracks of the year in the Groove Readers Poll.
