“It’s all gone Pete Tong”
– Cockney rhyming slang for “a situation gone wrong”
For dance music fans, Ibiza is mecca, the non-stop music matched only by the endless consumption of alcohol and drugs. And it’s here that celebrity DJs ply their trade, working hard to woo their fickle audiences. It’s not easy to make it, but legendary spinmaster Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye) has clawed his way to the top. Now he lives the opulent lifestyle of a major celebrity with all the requisite accoutrements – a gorgeous villa, a trophy wife, loads of money and fans. A remix genius, he is a superstar in his own right. But that is all about to change: Frankie Wilde is going deaf. It’s All Gone Pete Tong is a comedy that charts Frankie’s tragic life. Taking the form of an hilarious faux biopic, the film takes us from Frankie’s days as one of the best DJs alive through his battle with hearing loss and subsequent mysterious disappearance from the scene. Writer-director Michael Dowse has perfectly spoofed dance music culture, drawing an imperceptible line between the not-so-real Frankie and his very real colleagues – included are cameo appearances by scene-making DJs Pete Tong, Sarah Main and Carl Cox.
It’s All Gone Pete Tong shares some of the best elements of films such as Rob Reiner’s This is Spinal Tap and Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People – a wonderfully irreverent, but affectionate, look at a scene and its music. Unlike these precursors, though, It’s All Gone Pete Tong is neither a mockumentary nor a re-creation, but rather a spectacular fabrication offering an insider’s view of the club culture that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Amid the infectious rhythms that propel the film forward, Frankie must come out of self-imposed seclusion, rock the decks and complete the season in Ibiza – whether he can hear the music or not. |

just got back from watching it at the varsity. just before the screening started, pete tong walks in and sits down in the middle of the theatre. classic stuff. cameos by pvd, tiesto, carl cox + others. cool to hear rock your body rock mixed into trisco's musak (steve lawler remix).
great film. not for everyone though. you get to see priviledge, amnesia and pacha... |
