Austrian house producer, remixer and DJ. Peter was born in Wien (Vienna) and mainly lived in New York City. Peter first got his start as an A&R man for GIG Records. Since his first recording under his well known alias, Club 69, Peter had come to be one of the most in-demand remixers of the late 90s/2000s. His style shifted from a house/tribal vibe to a more tribal/progressive feel with his later mixes. There wasn't a time in the late 1990s when one could go to a US club without hearing many of his remixes playing through the speakers. Peter has also recorded material under the aliases Saxmachine, Danube Dance, House Heroes and Size Queen. Peter once worked with Victor Calderone for [a146423] project and once with the Pet Shop Boys for [a525178] project. His remix works include Depeche Mode, Madonna, Seal, Funky Green Dogs, Kylie Minogue, etc.
