By 1983, Tong had hired in with London Records as an A&R representative, and several years later his position exposed him to the house music coming out of Chicago.
When the BBC began giving airtime to house music, Tong was a natural choice to lead the sessions, and his Essential Selection radio show (broadcast every Friday night) became the place for club-kids -- as well as label executives -- to learn about the latest in dance music.
Tong's reputation grew as big and as fast as the world-wide popularity of house music during the early '90s, and he released several collections detailing his mixing skills -- four volumes of the Dance Nation series, as well as compilations from the Essential Selection show.

 It's All Gone Pete Tong - Review
Yet in none of these films is the protagonist's personal demon portrayed as a giant mumbling badger dressed in a torn pink party dress, brandishing a tinselly fairy's wand and a spadeful of cocaine.
Opening with the claim "The following is based on a true story...", 'It's All Gone Pete Tong' is a feature-length mockumentary, structured like one of those cheap television 'where are they know?' scandal stories about washed-up celebrities.
'It's All Gone Pete Tong' boasts a blankly irreverent central performance from Paul 'Dennis Pennis' Kaye, some hilariously off-the-wall lines, a great line-up of records on the soundtrack, and clever manipulations of sound and image to convey Frankie's diminished powers of hearing.

Pete Tong's Cd is still better than most dance Cd's around today however it loses the whole package the full five stars by just going a little too electro/techno sounding for my taste towards the end.
Pete's CD does include the massive 'Put your hands up 4 Detroit' track but my fave of this CD is 'A Bit Patchy' By Switch.
The mixing on both CD's is excellent and the fact that there aren't too many tracks squeezed onto each CD means that the music is allowed to 'breathe', resulting in a more realistic 'inside a club' sounding experience.

 IGN: It's All Gone Pete Tong Review
It's All Gone Pete Tong is a deadpan mockumentary that so skillfully weaves its tale that I didn't even know that there was no such bloke until I started into this disc's extras.
Through interviews with the cast and producers, we're given a general overview of the conception and making of the film, including training Kaye in looking like he can man the wheels of steel and shooting in real Ibiza hotspots on business nights with the general public dancing the night away.
The first area has an outtake from the Pete Tong interview scene, more testimonials from DJs and club folk and a fake deodorant commercial.
