Pete Tong reunites with The Heritage Orchestra (HER-O) for Chilled Classics, a new album of radical reinventions of classic dance music.
Chilled Classics is the follow-up to the chart-topping 2016 and 2017 albums Classic House and Ibiza Classics, which saw the revered DJ, broadcaster and dance pioneer rework classic tunes with the orchestra, conducted and arranged by Jules Buckley. This third collection sees Tong and Buckley introduce a number of new tracks, fitting seamlessly in amongst the classics as if they too were unearthed from the vaults. "We’re trying to make timeless music,” says Tong, “and we think these fit in.” Dance music staples such as Sweet Harmony, Touch Me, Born Slippy and Show Me Love are given the transformational Heritage Orchestra treatment, and the album includes an A-list cast of features such as Nina Nesbitt, Boy George, Sinead Harnett, Zara Larsson, MNEK and Wiley. Vinyl pressed on 180gm and includes download codes.
