It's All Gone Pete Tong is a 2004 Canadian independent film about Frankie Wilde (played by Paul Kaye), a DJ who goes completely deaf. The title is a reference to a cockney rhyming slang phrase used in Britain from the 80s to present day, referring to the BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong, standing for "it's all gone a bit wrong."

The film was released on April 15, 2005. The DVD was released on September 20, 2005. It won two awards at the US Comedy Arts Festival for Best Feature and Best Actor (Paul Kaye) and swept the Gen Art Film Festival awards (Grand Jury and Audience). It was filmed on location in Ibiza and shot entirely in HD.

Several famous DJs appear in the film as "talking heads", giving the film a true sense of authenticity. Carl Cox, Tiësto, Sarah Main, Barry Ashworth, Paul van Dyk, Lol Hammond and Pete Tong appear in the film. Ibiza locations used in the movie include music venues; Pacha, Amnesia, Privilege, DC10, the historic Pike's Hotel and Cala Longa beach.

A remake has been made by Indian film director Neerav Ghosh titled Soundtrack which was released in 2011.
