Londoner Made By Pete is an artist, songwriter, producer & DJ who’s catalogue has been celebrated by many of electronic music’s most notable publications & figureheads.
His first release of 2024 ‘Fires’ earned him an Essential New Tune from Pete Tong, preceding his busiest summer tour to date. Highlights included DJ sets at Hi, Ibiza with Black Coffee & Damian Lazarus, Pacha Ibiza with Bedouin & NYC’s infamous Brooklyn Mirage as well as returning to Blue Marlin Ibiza as a resident for a second successive season.
A summer EP on Bedouin’s Human By Default imprint featured a collaboration with Berlin live act Blindsmyth, showcasing MBP’s eclectic yet identifiable sound.

2023 single ‘Horizon Red’ ft. Zoe Kypri (Crosstown Rebels) gained global support from the world’s finest DJs after the live studio performance went viral, accumulating over 15 million views across key media platforms. Pete Tong named ‘Horizon Red’ as “one of the anthems of the summer in Ibiza” on BBC Radio 1 & hailed by DJ Mag as one of the ‘top tracks of 2023’ in their final publication of the year, stating “when great music is undeniable, the world will recognise it and uplift it accordingly.” Remixes followed from Crosstown Rebels head honcho Damian Lazarus & Black Coffee, who performed his remix live at Madison Square Garden in New York with Zoe Kypri joining him alongside a 12 piece orchestra. The success of Horizon Red lead to Made By Pete being named by Beatport as the “Top trending electronic act in the realm of melodic & organic house” in early 2023.
Made By Pete’s 6 year affiliation with seminal underground imprint Crosstown Rebels began in 2018 with his single ‘So Long’ featuring Jem Cooke. 3 singles & 2 EPs later, his music, along with his entertaining yet authentic performance style when behind the decks, have garnered him a global fanbase.
Although an already experienced DJ of nearly 20 years, 2023 was the year that Made By Pete broke through as in international DJ.

Back home in London he joined Damian Lazarus, Bedouin & Mathew Jonson at Fabric London to celebrate 20 years of Crosstown Rebels & lined up alongside Ame & Henrik Schwarz at The Exchange.
