The Global Network Show
Pete Gooding - International Music Machine
Pete Gooding is a club DJ, music producer and radio presenter, but way
beyond any name or title he's a music fan. In fact, Pete is a Music Man.
Thanks to his broad musical taste, deep musical knowledge and boundless
energy and enthusiasm, he's one of the lucky few who have managed to
turn 'what I love' into 'what I do'. Pete does music full time, full on, all the time.
Take a quick look at his current list of globally happening projects and it's not
hard to see why 2011 is going to be Pete's year.

Gooding & Coco
At the heart of these good things is his fruitful production partnership with
James Doman.
Doman and Gooding have already had a hit in Canada and the UK with the
club anthem Runnin', it's still on rotation on dance radio and MTV and has
over 1.8m hits on Youtube.
The super-hooky follow-up, I'm Hooked On You, is set to be even bigger.
Cool club tunes are handled by the duo's alter-ego The Machine who have
already released on Size, Audio Therapy and Stereo Productions, three of
today's biggest and best dance imprints.
Pete and James have also set up a label called Superficial Recordings, as a
joint venture with dance music giants Strictly Rhythm.
Pete lives right at the centre of all things clubby, in Ibiza, where he plays
regularly for We Love at Space and at the coolest bar on the island, Cafe
Mambo. James lives in Los Angeles. So when they're not working together,
and when Pete's not on one of his regular trips round the world DJing, he still
manages to fit in a few extra collaborations to satisfy his insatiable desire for,
yes, you guessed it, more music. For example, he's currently working with
chill out don Afterlife on the No Logo project and with Chris Coco on some
space disco.
If you need even more musical energy, there's his weekly Global Network
radio show, now on over 90 stations worldwide.
With all that going on it's hard to imagine how Pete has time for human stuff
like sleep. Perhaps the dude is less of a music man and more of a music
machine.
