Show Notes
For this very special 100th edition of the Crosstown Mix Show, we invited Sir Pete Tong, longstanding friend of the label, to deliver a mix that gives insight into where this all started from. Soul, jazz & funk was the sound that planted the seeds of everything we know today about dance music. As one of the early adopters of this jazz funk scene, Pete started his career playing these tunes in small pubs and clubs in the UK in the 80s, signed and promoted this music, and had a helping hand in running the soul music weekenders that would pave the way for festivals as we know them today. Hosting the Essential Mix on Radio One since 1993, we pay our respects to Pete by inviting him to mix this brilliant 100th show. We continue.
