© Pete Tong What would you do if your celebrating twenty years in dance music? A special radio show, compilation or public vote perhaps? Not Pete Tong, he’s taking over Radio 1 for 12 hours and selecting his top twenty tracks from the past twenty years on the scene...

Pete Tong is a name in dance music that everybody should be familiar with. He has been around for years, twenty of them to be precise and that’s quite a milestone for any dance artist. Pete's not just a dance artist though, he is a true icon of the scene and has contributed to the house music scene in particular immensely over the years. His long running 'Essential Selection' on Radio One is anything but essential and has been on the air since the early 90's. It's time to mark the occasion with a very special broadcast which will see Pete take over Friday night's dance music marathon on Radio 1.

He’s booting off the Judge, who will have to budge for a week, Kutski and the regulars that grace Radio One on Friday nights for an evening of specialist dance music for a full on Tong orgy! He will be running down his all time favourite tracks from the past twenty years which he has shortlisted down to 50 for you to vote on which gets selected in the final twenty list. There will also be a very special Pete Tong edition of the world renowned ‘Essential Mix’ and Pete will be joined by the Chemical Brothers who will be taking over for an hour. Pete will also have Rob Da Bank and Groove Armada dropping in as well as the cream of the world’s electronic dance music at some point during the twelve hour marathon.

PETE'S TAKE OVER SCHDULE
