Welcome to our 32nd Il Modo Exclusive Series, October 2023.  This time we are headed back 'Down Under' to Melbourne Australia for a serious belter, a 2.5 hour progressive mix from the wonderful talent that is Pete Gordon.  Thank you Pete.  


"Originally from Wellington, NZ, now living in Melbourne Australia, Pete Gordon’s first taste of dance music was, like many, stumbling upon The Prodigy’s “Music For The Jilted Generation” and the record store geezers suggestion to listen to BT’s “IMA”. This was the first thing to turn him away from the heavy metal, grunge and alternative rock that he pretty much exclusively listened to at the time and when a mate took him out to see Plastikman in 1998, everything changed in an instant!

Bouncing around in the techno and trance scenes for a few years, I was convinced to attend a proper house music gig at a time when I thought that all house music was cheesy radio crap like La Bouche, M People and Real McCoy…how wrong I was! The funk was electric, but there was still something missing, and when I heard progressive house, I knew I had found my home. It was like it had taken all the elements of techno, trance and house that I loved, and smushed them all together in a neat little euphoric and ethereal package.

I first started DJing around 2001 when a mate brought his decks around to my place and the vinyl addiction commenced with fury! Progressive, house, tech-house, techno, breaks, electro I felt were all fair game and always loved weaving sets that slipped in and out of different genres, shades of dark and light. Back in the day in Wellington I was lucky enough to support a lot of big names when they toured through our windy little city; Ali B, Freq Nasty, B.L.I.M, Krafty Kuts and the highlight was closing for Steve Lawler and Nick Warren on their CD release tours for Global Underground “Lights Out 2” and “Shanghai 28” respectively.

My approach to this mix was a deep dive into anything from the last 15 years or so, I don’t care if a tune is old or new, it’s all about how you use it and a quality tune is always a quality tune. Old, new, borrowed or blue, I love digging around SoundCloud for tasty free download bootleg gems and often pepper my sets with a “classic” or a modern re-working of a classic, there’s at least 8 of those in this mix…from deep to organic to progressive to melodic techno and spattered with breaks/electronica, I hope you enjoy the journey!"
