on 10 August 2007, the world lost another visionary. this week on radiohypno, we salute tony wilson: television host, music entrepreneur, founder of factory records, and the man who begat the hacienda, the club that would kick-start a new generation of dance music in the late 80’s.
this is the first, and quite possibly the last, time you’ll hear pete tong’s voice grace an episode of radiohypno, as i’ve appropriated his half of the most recent Essential Mix for this week’s show. he did a very admirable job in selecting songs from the factory records catalog, and his opening tribute, despite being read in his “Pete Tong Radio Voice” ™ seems to be heartfelt and genuine. i’ve also cut in some key snippets of speech by and about tony, for context, and so that you lot don’t think i’m completely slacking off this week.
the world will miss tony wilson, and the world needs more people LIKE tony wilson. rest in peace, sir.
