Interview with Pete Tong
Pete: I always want to do more but it all depends on budgets. Things are a lot more streamlined now since when I first started, we used to all go off in different directions doing different shows in different places. Now when we do something especially if it is in a different country it tends to be the whole station. This year we have done broadcasts from Dundee and Ibiza and we are going to Amsterdam in October. It's great getting out in the regions, but it tends to happen when the station does something and not just when it's Pete Tong on the move.
You do a night called Pure Pacha in Ibiza and this will be your 4th consecutive year. How have the parties gone this year and what have been the highlights?
Pete: The highlight for me this year is that is wasn't just about one night and it was about every night. It was about the residency as opposed to the dj's. When I started it I was taking over from Ministry which was a high pressure night we had all the biggest names in the world on the night so you tended to look back on the season and you could say that was a good night and that was a good night. After 4 years, it's really the party that is bigger than any one DJ. I had a really great opening few weeks with Laurent Garnier doing the opening party, but it's been really consistent throughout the season and we had a really good ending with Bob Sinclair.
