John Summit Calls Out Pete Tong for Alleged Remix Theft

It has been a while since we have witnessed genuine tension within the dance music community, but a new controversy has emerged that is turning heads. Early this morning, John Summit took to X to publicly call out legendary broadcaster and DJ Pete Tong for allegedly stealing a remix he produced. The track in question is John Summit’s high-energy edit of Everything But The Girl’s classic, ‘Missing,’ a record that has been a staple in his sets for some time.

According to Summit, the situation stems from a collaborative project that went awry. He claims that Pete Tong was slated to receive a collaboration credit on the track, despite allegedly contributing little to the actual production process. The frustration reached a boiling point when Summit discovered that the remix was reportedly being prepared for release as a collaboration between Pete Tong and Franky Rizardo, effectively sidelining the original producer.

Here is a look at John Summit performing the track at Space in 2025:

Summit has been vocal about his grievances, sharing what he describes as “receipts” on social media to substantiate his claims. Furthermore, he revealed that he has taken the initiative to produce a new orchestral version of the track, which he intends to premiere this coming weekend. He noted with a hint of irony, “thanks for the zero help.”

In a surprising turn, Summit also mentioned that he had reached out to Franky Rizardo, who appeared to be unaware of the underlying conflict regarding the track’s credit. As of now, there has been no official response from Pete Tong’s management team. The industry remains on high alert as this story develops.
