Who is Cronelli?
Full Bio
Cronelli’s nickname has stuck for years but these days Pete is known for playing quality Vocal House at some of the South East’s best music events.
Cronelli’s love of dance music started in the nineteen eighties. Soul was the main dance music but this era saw the explosion of Disco and of Jazz Funk. Bands such as Sister Sledge, Chic and Incognito were all the rage. Clubbing was very much a way of life, with events on Thursday night to Sunday night. Cronelli infamously jacked in his A levels, to get a job and go clubbing – an urge to party that remains to this day.
By the 90s, Cronelli was spending his weekends clubbing and hunting for new House music releases, in a love for the music that has been formative all his life.
This love and knowledge of music meant Cronelli was often asked to DJ at parties, although he was too much of a ‘party boy’ to take the DJ role seriously.
By 2003, the club scene was over. Night clubs were closing and dance music seemed to be on the wane. It wasn’t long before the trend reversed. By 2010 new clubs started to open and clubbing was back on everyone’s agenda for Friday and Saturday nights. Also at this time, music went digital. DJing at a party no longer meant taking 50kg of vinyl records, it was possible to turn up with CDs or a small digital storage device and have hundreds of tracks to play. The new mixers also allowed so much more creativity for DJs. House music had re-invented itself!
Cronelli invested in digital DJ equipment in 2017 but didn’t begin DJing professionally until 2018. His first gigs were at his winter home of Val d’Isere in France, playing the legendary Saloon club/bar. The summer of 2019 saw him on the Essex pub/club scene playing bars and venues in Billericay and Chelmsford.
You can still catch Cronelli DJing with friends in a pub (such as his ‘local’, The Chequers, in Billericay) or on Friday 6-8pm on scionstream.com.
You will also see him playing to hundreds at Wicked Raves and Sun Of A Beach events, also at Players Lounge for their Ibiza Legends of events.
Cronelli also has an annual slot at Plastik Ibiza closing party weekend and in 2023 will be taking up a winter residency at the legendary Doudoune club in Val d’Isere and Le Palet in Tignes.

About Booking Cronelli
From small gigs to big festivals
Cronelli has DJ’d in Ibiza, London, Zurich, Val d’Isere and his home UK region of Essex, playing House Music to crowds in bars, clubs and at major festivals.
Great Music
A love of House music for over 35 years helps Cronelli deliver quality music at every event. His knowledge of Disco, Old Skoola nd Deep House genres, tracks and their structure led Cronelli to release his first track in 2022 (Can’t You See It), followed by the Vocal House Higher Than The Sky in 2024. The desire to produce music has also led him to have a huge library of self produced remixes and edits, solely for his own sets. These days, almost every track played by Cronelli will be one of his own edits.
Why book Cronelli?
Great music is at the heart of every event. Being able to read the audience, being able to play within the confines of what a promoter requests and being able to entertain the crowd with music they want to hear is what makes Cronelli a professional within the DJ industry.
