Additionally, his FFRR record label remains a hotbed of exciting new music. Pete is one of the co-founders of the electronic music department at William Morris Endeavor (WME), and co-founder of the IMS International Music Summit, the global industry forum for electronic music, which takes place annually in Ibiza and LA. If that weren’t enough, his “All Gone Pete Tong” event brand is often seen taking over the world’s best clubs and festivals, supported by a successful compilation series of the same name.
All this makes Pete the ideal headline mentor for burn Residency.
