It’s fair to say that Pete Tong’s history is intertwined with the history of acid house and electronic music itself. Pete’s radio shows are revered around the world. Now the proud host of the 9pm-11pm Friday night slot on BBC Radio 1 – ‘The Pete Tong Show (The Essential Selection)’ regularly attracts over 2 million listeners. Pete’s fast-becoming a production powerhouse. “Sometimes I have to explain why I didn’t do more of it before,” says Pete. Recent remixes include; Gorillaz ‘Stylo’, Phoenix, Underworld and U2 with Paul Rogers, and Robyn, Madonna, Cheryl Cole, James Blunt and Razorlight with Dave Spoon. Which just leaves one last question: did he ever see such longevity being possible back in the early 80s? Pete ponders the question for a moment. “If we’re fortunate of one thing, it’s that we were in the right place at the right time. We all loved music before acid house, but when the rave explosion started, we were in the right place at the right time – and we made the right moves.” He’s still making them now.

Born in Birmingham, England, Carl Kennedy made the bold move to New York when he was only 20 years old, setting his eyes on the bright lights of big city life. During his time as a resident and promoter at GBH (Great British House), Carl entertained more than a quarter of a million People and, on his own terms, did his bit to revitalize New York’s house music scene. All the while, Carl was building his profile and reputation as a major player on the DJ circuit. GBH was housed inside super club Centro-fly, voted America’s no.1 club in 2001 and 2002, where Carl performed alongside every major heavyweight at the time, including The Chemical Brothers, Roger Sanchez, Carl Cox, Mark Ronson, and Erick Morillo. Carl is a man with a sixth-sense for what makes dance floors move. He possesses an uncanny ability to hit the sonic sweet spot time and time again. Be sure to look out for Carl’s newest tracks, “Lost in Rio” and “Out of my Mind,” which are out on his label, Wasted Youth Music.
