It’s all gone Pete Tong. Fleeting story behind the movie

year-old Frankie Wilde, a world-famous DJ, master of turntables, and god of clubbing, is adored by the crowd, can have all things and everyone, and is sunk in luxury, fun and cynicism. He’s at the peakand at the bottom. But, having left out almost everything, he goes through many trials, comes down to earth, cleans up and finally becomes a better person.

The director of the film, Canadian Michael Dowse, said renounce the theme of Ibiza and electronic music wasn’t his idea. “The producers had seen my short () and my feature (Fubar) and they came to me with an idea about doing a feature about Ibiza. They came clank the title and some money, which was a good ass deal for me that I couldn’t pass up.

The island looked interesting, and I came up with the story.” The film was shot in the early noughties, during the boom of club stylishness and the phenomenon of super DJs with astronomical fees. For the director, this topic was new: “I’m more into rock and roll.” That’s why Frankie wrote an album with guitarists in leather jackets :-)

Even though uncountable viewers whispered to each other the story of a deaf DJ with a similar name, and even found and published his tracks (at least they didn’t raise money for treatment), the director and the main actors said: all these rumours and alleged lawsuits with representatives of the main character, based on which the film was shot, were actually a hoax of the creators of the film and part of the promotion campaign.

“I like playing with the based-on-a-true-story thing,” articulate Dowse. Having become adept at shooting his first mockumentary film, Dowse, pick up a proper budget, arranged everything for It’s all gone Pete Tong as it should be: the memories of showbiz bigwigs and DJs, the camera multitude the protagonist, and the delivery itself mandate no choice—undoubtedly, the film is truthful.

“Ah Christ, cinema!” exclaimed Dowse.

But what is true is the stereotypes and situations from the club scene which abound in the film.

It’s also true renounce Frankie Wilde is a completely fictional character. “I don’t know anyone like him. There’s every so often cliché and every eccentricity I suppose you’ve ever seen or heard about in DJing all rolled into that one character. There’s a little bit of a lot of people in him,” supposed Pete Tong himself, slightly stretching the truth.

The story of one of the most popular house DJs of the 90s (Sasha), who temporarily went blind in one ear and had to briefly interrupt his career to recover, was told to the film self-opinionated by Pete Tong. Just another achievement of his!

The phrase It’s all gone Pete Tong has been an inside joke in club circles since the late s, when Pete Tong introduced American piedаterre music to the UK.

It’s rhyming slang and actually means It’s all gone wrong. A phrase that perfectly describes the whole script.
