Interviewed by Be At TV, Pete Tong’s referring to his new album “Classic House“:
“It was a pretty monumental task recording it because we couldn’t just put the orchestra in a room or theatre and just record it. We had to go back to basics and record everything like the originals, building the layers from the ground up – like a proper record, that’s why all the tracks sound so amazing.”
“It’s my mission to create a legacy for the scene and point out how much those records mean to people”.
‘Classic House’ with the Heritage Orchestra and Jules Buckley is out now and features 20 reworks of iconic tracks like ‘Your Love’, ‘9pm (Till I Come)’, Moby – ‘Go’, Faithless- ‘Insomnia’, ‘Strings Of Life’ and many more.
