Pete Heller is an English electronic and house music producer from Brighton. He is recognised in the dance community for his solo work,[1] and his remixes with frequent collaborator Terry Farley.[2] As a duo they have released popular tunes under the names Heller & Farley Project (or Farley & Heller), Fire Island plus The Look and Feel. In 1996, they released "Ultra Flava," a #3 hit on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The track also peaked at #22 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] In November 2000 he remixed Moby's song "South Side" which charted at #14 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200, making it Moby's most successful single in the US.

On his own, Heller hit #1 on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Big Love", which held the top spot for three weeks and also was ranked by Billboard as the #1 dance song of 1999.[3] The same track peaked at #12 in the UK.[2]

In addition, Heller remixed The Chemical Brothers' 2002 release, "Star Guitar", which reached #8 in the UK chart.[4]

In 2004, Heller launched his own record label, Phela Recordings, as a platform for his own productions and collaborations with other artists.
