  • Madeon Switches Things Up With Special After-Hours Mix For Pete Tong [LISTEN]

    French producer DJ Madeon is not the most prolific artist, but when he does put something out to the world he makes it count. Whether it is a DJ mix, which there are few and far between from the 20-year-old, or singles, Hugo Leclercq puts his 100 percent into it. He was tabbed by BBC Radio One radio DJ, Pete Tong to do an hour-long mix as part of his "past, present, and future" special. It is not the Madeon we would expect from Madeon with his festival sets or productions, but much more subdued and groove driven — perfect for the after-hours billing that it was given by Pete Tong.

Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso took to the BBC Radio One airwaves with legendary DJ Pete Tong to discuss their project, working with Pusha T and played what they have finished of their collaboration with him titled "This Time We Can't Go Home." They sampled themselves from "Something New" and created a new instrumental by flipping the cheery synths for something grittier and darker, sending Pusha T's vocals through a vocoder, via "Do Androids Dance." The duo have been playing this out as an intro for their DJ sets since the summer, including at Governor's Ball in New York City, where they premiered a slew of new album music. During the interview, the duo also played for the first time the extended/club edit of their recent single "Something New" that has been used in a new, star-studded Beats commercial that features the Jenner sisters, Big Sean, Nicki Minaj and more. In their conversation with Pete Tong, they discuss their project, combing the Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso names, new music and what they have coming up. Sebastian Ingrosso reveals that the album is not finished, but it is fun to share new music during the process.
  • DJ Pete Tong Receives MBE from Prince William

    There is something that seems inherently wrong when rock 'n' roll stars such receive the highest of official recognition, such as Kennedy Center Honors or British knighthood. Lord knows the Rolling Stones didn't enter music to be a positive influencer of culture, hence why Keith Richards blew up when Mick Jagger accepted a knighthood. We imagine things aren't totally different within the world of electronic music, so it's curious to see British DJ Pete Tong receive the MBE, or Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
