About

Pete Tong isn't just a DJ; he's a sonic architect, sculpting the landscape of electronic music for over three decades. A relentless champion of house music from its nascent stages, Tong's influence extends far beyond the DJ booth. His sound, deeply rooted in classic Chicago house and Detroit techno, has evolved to encompass contemporary progressive house and a keen ear for emerging talent. The iconic "Essential Mix" on BBC Radio 1, a cornerstone of electronic music broadcasting, cemented his status as a tastemaker. Beyond the airwaves, Tong's "Ibiza Classics" orchestral project, born from his Cream Ibiza residency, reimagines dance anthems for a new generation, proving the timelessness of the genre. Collaborations with artists like Kölsch and Frankie Knuckles underscore his respect within the industry. A cultural ambassador and a bridge between generations of electronic music fans, Pete Tong continues to push the boundaries of what dance music can be. Currently, he continues touring extensively, showcasing his Ibiza Classics show globally and curating lineups that represent the cutting edge of electronic music.
