Its All Gone Pete Tong
I'm warning you all now, Its All Gone Pete Tong is my new obsession! I saw a screening on Monday night and it was real good.
Ok, let me fill you in a bit if you don't know too much about it. There once was a DJ named Frankie Wilde, who was legendary in Ibizia and in the dance music scene in general. Sadly, he suffers from a degenerative hearing disorder coupled with years of heavy drug use and the pounding beat of the clubs literally crumbled his eardrums leving him completly deaf at the height of his career. After a bit of a melt down, he ended up finding a way to produce an album and spin at Pancha as a deaf DJ. Following that set, he dissapeared from the scene and hasn't been seen since. I totally reccomend you go see the movie as my desription doesn't really do Frankie or the movie justice.
Now that we're all caught up and on the same page, I can't find another free screening to send you all to, but there is a Brooklyn premier party at the Stay Gold Gallery tonight. I haven't been able to find many details, except that DJ John XI will be providing the music. It may be worth checking out.
Date: Thursday, April 14th
Time: 7pm - 10pm
Location: Stay Gold Gallery, 213 N. 8th W'burg
Cost: Free with RSVP
** I heard a rumor that Pete Tong will be doing an in-store at Virgin on Wednesday or Thursday in the Dance area downstairs. Its all very hush hush, so its hard to get details. **
