He's not better...he's actually far far worse. I thought he only used Ableton when doing his Essential Selection, but when I saw him in Ibiza he busted out the laptop. Not sure if it was just an off night for him or what, but I left after the first 15 mins. And I used to love Pete Tong so much

Don't talk out of your ass now. You've never even gone clubbing that I know of.

Why does the DJ need to even acknowledge anyone on the dancefloor?

I dont get entertainment from watching DJs, I get entertainment from the music they play. Who gives a shit how much time they spend with their head down concentrating? If the end result on the speakers is better...then I say excellent...

I think your word choice could have been better here. Of course a DJ has to acknowledge the crowd... that's his job lol. playing muzik for ze people to dance to...

Two. He opened with Proper Eductaion (woo) and mixed (rather poorly) into another track...I knew the track at the time but it escapes me now. And he also decided to play some acapella over the track, some girls that kept saying "pete tong" adn something else. It was ok, but Lawler was just so great and Tongy really took the energy down a few notches. I took off.

Come on guys as if Pete Tong is who you go see now a days for the most hip tunes

He's like a non-stop MoS mixed session, just fromage tune after fromage tune with the odd bomb tossed in that makes the place go nuts!

Don't get me wrong I love the guy as a personality and a DJ but he's not exactly a benchmark DJ anymore, ahahaha, he's just a huge icon!

Prolly fackin fun to party with though, and prolly annoys the shit out of some of the Djs he broadcasts live with for the EM, he always starts yelling in the middle of Seb Fontaine's breakdowns, LOL.
