In 2021, Tong was honoured with the prestigious Music Industry Trusts Award. He was the first dance music specialist to receive the award; its previous winners include Glastonbury Festival‘s Michael Eavis, The Beatles producer George Martin, Peter GabrielElton John, Simon Cowell and Kylie Minogue.

Tong said of the award: “I’m seriously thrilled and humbled to be standing here receiving the MITS Award because I think this is recognition of dance music’s and club culture’s influence and success.

“Looking round this room, there are so many people that have been on that journey with me so this is for all of you.”

In other news, Massive Attack hit out against Tong for covering their song ‘Unfinished Sympathy’ on the Ibiza Classics album when it first came out. “Thanks for covering one of our songs on your nostalgia nightmare roadshow,” 3D wrote. “I don’t recollect you getting in touch to see if we would mind.”

He called upon the DJ to “divide your nightly profit by the number of songs you murder in your set, and hand the total of that one song over to UNHCR… It would be the least you could do.”
