PETE TONG
www.trustthedj.com/PeteTong (IMG:http://stat.discogs.com/A/12285-001.jpg) BIOGRAPHIE I was born in July 1960 in Dartford Kent, and attended King's School in Rochester. I started DJing really early on; my first booking was for a friend's wedding when I was 15! Me and a couple of mates also promoted a few local bands, booking the village hall for gigs themselves. It went alright - we were making about £300.00 a time! I got into 'blacker' music throughout my teen years, I used to listen to Robbie Vincent's Soul Show on Radio London. Robbie used to play tracks by the likes of Evelyn 'Champagne' King & Crown Heights Affair. So the whole soul thing was a massive influence on me. As part of the Kent 'Soul Mafia', I worked at various local discos and after leaving school I set up a mobile disco based in a transit van! I got involved in radio soon after. I had some cool slots - guesting on Radio Medway in the 'Soul Mafia', and doing occasional mixes on Radio London during the early 80s. When Invicta Radio started up in Kent in 1984, Pete hosted a soul show there until 1987 when I returned to Radio London for a few months, before moving to Capital Radio where the show attained cult status amongst the London clubbers. OK! onto label stuff now. Step back a bit now to1979 when I got my first proper job at Blues & Soul magazine, working as their staff writer and then features editor until 1983. When London Records started up in 1983 they got in touch with a view to becoming A&R manager. London were a big pop outfit back then and they've always had their eye on the ball. Dance was looking like the new big thing so I signed the contract and suddenly found myself looking after Bananarama! Five years later I set up my own dance imprint - FFRR, which was conceived to concentrate on dance acts like Salt n Pepa, The Cookie Crew, Steve 'Silk' Hurley, L'il Louis & D Mob. FFRR has grown into one of the world's most highly respected labels...even if I say so myself (IMG:http://www.technoboard.at/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I suppose I'm best known for my work at and on Radio 1. My first job there was in 1981 when I had a year's slot on Peter Powell's show, playing the new tracks, chatting about all the gossip and spilling the latest news from the dance world. Some things haven't changed then! In January 1991 I was moved up to present the Friday night dance show. 1995 The Annual - Various Artists - Ministry Of Sound Dance Nation Volume One - Ministry Of Sound 1996 Dance Nation Volume Two - Ministry Of Sound The Annual II - Ministry Of Sound Essential Mix vol 3 - ffrr Essential Mix vol 4 - ffrr 1997 Dance Nation Volume Three - Ministry Of Sound Dance Nation Volume Four - Ministry Of Sound Pete Tong's Essential Collection - Polygram The Annual III - Ministry Of Sound Essential Selection Winter 1997 - Polygram 1998 Essential Selection Spring 1998 - London Records Platinum on Black : The Final Chapter The Annual III - Ministry Of Sound Clubber's Guide To Ibiza - Ministry Of Sound 1999 FFRR Classics Collection 1988 - 1998 - ffrr [sleevenotes] Essential Selection Spring 1999 - London Records Essential Selection Ibiza 1999 - London Records Dance Nation Volume Five - Ministry Of Sound Essential Millennium - London Records Human Traffic - OST - London Records 2000 Essential Mix - Sire US The Beach - OST - London Records [executive producer] Essential Selection Spring 2000 - London Records Essential Selection Ibiza 2000 - London Records 2001 Twisted Beats - WEA Essential Mix - Sire US Der Beitrag wurde von thewulf bearbeitet: 16 Feb 2004, 16:26 |
