PETE TONG

Dance music legend and friend of Point Blank Pete Tong has graced the decks of the best clubs and festivals worldwide and was a major player in the birth of dance music, a role he continues to fulfill to this day. He hosts the longest running show on Radio One now known as simply "Pete Tong: The Official Start To The Weekend".  As a producer he has assembled the music for movie soundtracks such as The Beach, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People and has produced his own material under various guises. He has a No.1 podcast, 'Tongcast', innovatively  airs music TV shows direct to mobile and even occupies a place in the English language due to inspiring the film 'It's All Gone Pete Tong'. Every summer you will find Pete playing at glamourous Pacha in Ibiza and he also has a residency at Ministry of Sound. "I wouldn't be doing this if I couldn't champion new music" says Pete. We are absolutely thrilled to have him onboard as a friend of Point Blank and a part of the scholarship program.
