This biopic based on the life of legendary DJ Frankie Wilde opens exclusively today Friday, April 15th in NYC at Regal Union Square Theater. During sneak previews for the film this week in NYC, the film has already received rave reveiws from Rhythmists and from the film cognoscenti on the film festival circuit. We predict the film will quickly become a fast introduction to the white isle to the general public, so expect a busier than usual summer season. For those who have already experienced the magic of an Ibiza summer, you can relive some of those magic moments with Frankie Wilde on the decks. IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG will open in LA and San Francisco on April 29th with a national roll out to over 24 cities on May 13th.

“Frankie was definitely one of the best. He had his very own style, his very own momentum with the crowd. I don’t think that anyone else did it his way.” – Paul Van Dyk (DJ)
“I’ve heard a story he’s running a record shop in Oxford. There’s a story he went to Fiji and then died of syphilis. But nobody knows. I don’t know where he is.” – Eric Banning (author, The Wilde Years)
Frankie was one of Europe’s most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain. Everything about Frankie’s life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs. But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf. His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared. The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs.
Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him. His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then … he disappeared.
IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a hilarious insiders look at a club and rave culture most people don’t get to experience. Paul Kaye, portraying Frankie Wilde, turns in an award-winning performance. Directed by breakout director Michael Dowse, the film features interviews with world-famous DJs including Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Lol Hammond and Paul Van Dyk. The movie’s soundtrack, to be released by Astralwerks Records, is a varied collection of club, new independent and classic songs.
IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a wild and original look at an extraordinary life.
