Tong fronts first International Music Summit

09:50 | Thursday March 13, 2008

Hailed as the “G8 of Music Conferences” and fronted by Pete Tong, the IMS will be a standard format of networking activities and panel based conference, kicked off by an opening party weekend for the island.

The IMS will focus on electronic music showcasing the innovations in live production for electronic music. On the first day of the conference DJ Tom Middleton will create the IMS anthem in a live one hour recording. The following day, the track will be remixed live by another renowned producer before being passed over to Pete Tong, to be synchronised into with visuals from a leading TV show.

Tong says, “I am proud to be launching the IMS at such a critical time for the music industry. This is what we all love doing for a living, but we can all get better at what we do and learn from each other. IMS offers the glamour and glitz of my favourite party island...but with a back to business ethos leading into the big Ibiza opening party weekend.”
