You can bet on Pete Tong to play Krafy next friday... the show is now archived! and he did play it! — Forum Archive

16 Jan 2005, 20:28

Last friday he played 2, yes 2, mixes by Jacques Lu Cont...

The Killers 'Mr Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont Remix)' (Island) Juliet 'Avalon (Jacques Lu Cont Remix)' (Virgin)

Now if Krafty is indeed being remixed by Jacques Lu Cont (I don't see the point of having people remixing the 2nd single so soon), it's obvious Pete Tong will play it.

The only question is, will it be available by then ;)

He also played 2 Gabriel & Dresden mixes... ;)

Edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance/petetong/tracklistingsarchive.shtml

4th track this week.

Nicos, I'll be listening to Tong's show...but if he doesn't play it on Friday, I'll be here to MOCK YOU!!!

I'd rather hear the real thing first, not a remix.

17 Jan 2005, 00:52

Well don't listen.

:\pimp3:

I WONT!! *folds arms indignantly*

That comment stems purely from the fact that I spent two weeks thinking Regret was a pile of plinky-plonky piano wank, as I'd had the misfortune to hear Tong play the Fire Island mix first...

17 Jan 2005, 01:30

Anyone know any gossip about where it'll actually get played first? My bet would be on Jo Whiley's Monday morning Radio 1 show, as it's meant to be the 24th.

Well if he does play it,then it might be the original if its dancey enough. The countdown begins...

17 Jan 2005, 01:52

Seeing as the single's been given an 'official' radio release of Jan 24th, how would Tong be playing a copy on the 21st? :skeptic:

He played Someone Like You and other stuff way before they were released, even as promo....

So we're just taking a chance there, maybe it's because Pete Tong was involved in some way (though I never knew how) in Get Ready...

17 Jan 2005, 12:52

Just heard what?

17 Jan 2005, 13:12

He downloaded the Beastie Boy's song "She's Crafty" that I relabeled as Krafty...the joke's on TIM!!! :D

17 Jan 2005, 14:33

Pete Tong used t work for London Records when New Order were still with them...Thats how he got stuff super dooper early. I wouldnt bank on him having 'Krafty' before anyone else.

No he didn't, and no joke is on me. I ain't wasting my time with downloads off any P2P, won't have them on my computer.

Fantastic! To anyone who isn't familiar, Mr. Eastwick is one of the UK's top house DJs and has been for about ten years now. I made the trip down to the legendary Hard Times night when it was in Leeds many moons ago and had a blast. I've got a tonne of Hard Times 12"s (the Louie Vega one with the sheep on the cover springs to mind!) in my collection as well as the Todd Terry double CD recorded live at the club. I'm sure I also have something by Salt City but I'm sure it's on Tribal Records (is this possible?)

I've also caught Mr E. playing out at Yip Yap in Edinburgh and the Subby in Glasgow but not for years now. Quality tunes always.

A final note.....I met a crazy Manc in Prague about 9 years ago called (believe it or not) Phil Collins who was a pal of yours, we'd got talkin about Hard Times and he said he used to work with you behind the bar in the Hacienda. Him and the burd he was with hung out with us for a week and he was truly one of the mos f***in mental people I've ever met! If you see him still say hi.

The 12" on Tribal is titled The Storm and was the precursor to Miles and Elliots Paper Recordings. I've got 15 Salt City/Releated 12"s and nearly all of the first 50 Paper 12"s. House musics saviours in the mid 90's. Miles is a gem too. Got to hang with him in Seattle. Spray painted Toko logo's illegially in the city that day. A Salt City (or would that be Reset, now) remix of New Order would be awesome. Love the work you guys did with The Beloved! One question though, if you come back, why did you rerelease the Beloved remix as an "original" Reset track 3 years later?

I'd rather listen to some french radio, you're sure to hear it next friday!

21 Jan 2005, 11:22

I was expecting a remix though...

21 Jan 2005, 12:21

Got the Tong playback on.

You can fast forward in blocks of 5 mins...What time was Krafty aired on the show ???

21 Jan 2005, 12:29

erm...sorry...don't recall exact time...but if it was the 4th song...couldn't be more than say 15 minutes or so...right?
