Pete Tong
Peter “Pete” Tong (born July 30, 1960) is an English DJ who works for BBC Radio 1. He is known worldwide by fans of electronic music for hosting programmes such as Essential Mix and Essential Selection on the radio service, which can be heard through Internet radio streams, for his record label FFRR Records, and for his own performances at nightclubs and Music Festivals across the globe. Tong has also worked as a record producer and is known by the nickname of Lord of the Dance.
The phrase “It’s all gone Pete Tong”, where the name is used as rhyming slang for “wrong”, was reputedly first coined by Paul Oakenfold in late 1987 in an article about Acid House called ‘Bermondsey Goes Balearic’ for Terry Farley and Pete Heller’s ‘Boys Own’ Fanzine. It’s All Gone Pete Tong is also the title of a 2004 film which portrays the DJ’s experiences as he realizes he is becoming deaf but has now recovered his hearing. Tong appears briefly in the film. It is also the name Tong has adopted for his club night at the nightclub Pacha in Ibiza.
In 2008 he was involved with the founding of the International music summit in Ibiza.
