▓█ Biography: █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ For Pete Tong, whose consummate involvement in █▓
▓█ all areas of dance music has made him a █▓
▓█ genuine household name in the UK, these are █▓
▓█ exciting times: every aspect of his █▓
▓█ considerably varied career is currently █▓
▓█ undergoing either consolidation, change, or █▓
▓█ creation anew. As a DJ, Tong is enjoying █▓
▓█ increasing international popularity, █▓
▓█ especially in the USA, and is launching a █▓
▓█ residency at Pacha in Ibiza this summer with █▓
▓█ fellow pioneer Paul Oakenfold. And as a █▓
▓█ broadcaster who brought dance to the masses █▓
▓█ via his Essential Selection show at Radio One, █▓
▓█ he has just agreed a new three-year contract █▓
▓█ which will keep him on the BBC airwaves █▓
▓█ through to 2005. The record executive who █▓
▓█ founded the seminal ffrr label in 1988, █▓
▓█ overseeing the careers of Orbital, Goldie, █▓
▓█ Brand New Heavies, Salt n Pepa and Artful █▓
▓█ Dodger, Pete Tong is returning to his A and R █▓
▓█ roots with the company. The DJ behind many an █▓
▓█ Essential Mix compilation, he has a triple CD █▓
▓█ set Tune In, Turn On, Chill Out lined up for █▓
▓█ the summer; he has also just assembled the █▓
▓█ music for 24 Hour Party People. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ Such a range of high-profile activities seems █▓
▓█ a long way removed from Tong's beginnings as a █▓
▓█ wedding DJ in Kent during his teens. But for █▓
▓█ all his current fame and acclaim, you'd be █▓
▓█ hard put to find someone whose progression has █▓
▓█ been more organic. In fact, in many ways, █▓
▓█ Pete's story runs parallel to the growth of █▓
▓█ dance music in the UK. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ When he was at school, hard rock ruled the █▓
▓█ roost, and Pete tried playing in bands, but █▓
▓█ after seeing a DJ playing actual records at a █▓
▓█ school disco and deciding "that looked like █▓
▓█ much more fun," he never looked back. "DJing █▓
▓█ just seemed to be my vocation." Initially, █▓
▓█ Pete followed that vocation to Soul Weekenders █▓
▓█ in otherwise quiet sea-side towns like Caistor █▓
▓█ and Prestatyn, where he "was always the young █▓
▓█ boy" who ran with a crowd of old-school DJs █▓
▓█ known as the Soul Funk Mafia. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ His involvement in that scene landed him a day █▓
▓█ job at Blues and Soul magazine where he soon █▓
▓█ became features editor and began making █▓
▓█ appearances on BBC's Radio London and Radio █▓
▓█ Medway. Out in club land, meanwhile, he █▓
▓█ quickly learned a maxim that still holds true █▓
▓█ today: "the only way to do it is to run your █▓
▓█ own club, create your own scene." So Tong DJ'd █▓
▓█ a club in Baker Street called [Family] █▓
▓█ Function, and simultaneously booked bands for █▓
▓█ a weekend alternative night: the first one he █▓
▓█ hired was the then-unknown Culture Club. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ An ability to explain what was then considered █▓
▓█ a fringe genre found him presenting a dance █▓
▓█ music segment on Radio 1's Peter Powell show. █▓
▓█ But noticing that daytime DJs had no control █▓
▓█ over the music they played, Tong eschewed █▓
▓█ national radio opportunities, launching a soul █▓
▓█ show on Kent's newly-launched Invicta station █▓
▓█ instead. By this time, his growing reputation █▓
▓█ for recognising new talent saw him leave Blues █▓
▓█ and Soul for an A and R position at London █▓
▓█ Records, a job he has held, in one manner or █▓
▓█ another, for almost twenty years. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ In the mid-eighties, the old guard was swept █▓
▓█ away, as first the hip-hop and electro sounds █▓
▓█ from New York, and then house music from █▓
▓█ Chicago, techno from Detroit and the 'Baleiric █▓
▓█ Beat' in Ibiza, were embraced by a new set of █▓
▓█ young London promoters and DJs. Pete Tong and █▓
▓█ his friend Nicky Holloway DJ'd in Ibiza for █▓
▓█ the first time in 1986. The following year █▓
▓█ Holloway went with Oakenfold and Danny █▓
▓█ Rampling, and upon return to London, succeeded █▓
▓█ in emulating the Ibiza experience across █▓
▓█ clubland. The house generation was born. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ Tong, in the thick of it all, was hired by █▓
▓█ Capital Radio to broadcast to the new █▓
▓█ clubbers, which helped give him the clout to █▓
▓█ start a 'label within a label' at London. Ffrr █▓
▓█ Records was born in 1988: hitting the charts █▓
▓█ immediately with Salt n Pepa's 'Push It', Tong █▓
▓█ and ffrr became famous for conducting █▓
▓█ lightning raids on the latest underground hits █▓
▓█ and propelling them up the charts. "I've been █▓
▓█ lucky," says Tong. "I grew up at a time when █▓
▓█ the whole scene exploded, and I worked with a █▓
▓█ bunch of people for a long period of time who █▓
▓█ empowered me to be able to change things." █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ The biggest change came in 1991, when Radio █▓
▓█ One recognised that it needed to cater for the █▓
▓█ new, and permanent, youth culture. Pete was █▓
▓█ hired away from Capital to host a brand new █▓
▓█ Friday evening show, the Essential Selection, █▓
▓█ which gave him one of the most influential █▓
▓█ jobs in the business - broadcasting to the █▓
▓█ nation's record buying, club-going youth and, █▓
▓█ unlike his daytime predecessors, choosing the █▓
▓█ music too. █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ Tong's success as a broadcaster, clubland DJ █▓
▓█ and A and R man has been predicated on a █▓
▓█ precarious but successful balance between █▓
▓█ credibility - "I look for originality and █▓
▓█ records with a lot of spirit and soul," - and █▓
▓█ commerciality. "You can have good taste in █▓
▓█ your own world and be very obscure," he says █▓
▓█ of those DJs who ignore the crowd. This means █▓
▓█ that he's not afraid to drop the hits onto the █▓
▓█ decks. "People forget it's entertainment," █▓
▓█ Tong explains. "You've got these DJs coming █▓
▓█ on, and they'll inflict two or three hours of █▓
▓█ music on the audience, and sometimes it's █▓
▓█ torture because it's all unknown. It doesn't █▓
▓█ really work, and the music they're picking █▓
▓█ isn't really that good anyway. It's supposed █▓
▓█ to be fun." █▓
▓█ █▓
▓█ This readiness to entertain, tempered by a █▓
▓█ constant search for the next big thing, █▓
▓█ enabled Tong to thrive throughout the 1990s. █▓
▓█ Ffrr grew from a singles-based label to an █▓
▓█ album artist's breeding ground. The Essential █▓
▓█ Selection spun off a show called the Essential █▓
▓█ Mix, enabling DJs worldwide to showcase their █▓
▓█ mixing talents on national radio, and together █▓
▓█ these led to the Essential compilations, with █▓
▓█ Tong producing several best-sellers himself. █▓
▓█ In the mid-nineties, Radio 1 sought Tong's █▓
▓█ advice on revamping their roster, and with the █▓
▓█ arrival of Judge Jules, Danny Rampling and co. █▓
▓█ to the national airwaves, the revolution was █▓
▓█ complete. Success, though, can bring █▓
▓█ complacency, something Tong is adamant to █▓
▓█ avoid. "When you're on the radio for so long █▓
▓█ your audience stays the same age but you get █▓
▓█ older. The new people come in and think of you █▓
▓█ as a radio DJ and not a club DJ." Tong's new █▓
▓█ contracts with both ffrr and Radio 1 allow him █▓
▓█ more time on the road, searching out new music █▓
▓█ as he plays across the globe, broadcasting █▓
▓█ from select cities en route. █▓
