Pete Tong Breaks Silence Over John Summit Remix Controversy

Pete Tong has addressed John Summit’s accusation that he stole Summit’s Missing remix, explaining in a post-interview that multiple versions were being explored, including an orchestral Ibiza Classics version and separate remixes with Franky Rizardo and Summit. Franky Rizardo withdrew from the release after learning the background, while Tong notes the orchestral arrangement had Been cleared for live performance with Everything But The Girl and could be adapted into a remix with Summit and Layton Giordani. A May 13, 2026 proposal circulated by Tong suggested Franky’s mix would release first with Summit’s version following later. Tong emphasized the importance of direct communication over accusations.
