Biography Peter Gelderblom
Peters musical career starts at the age of 14 (1979) musically inspired by Earth Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, George Benson etc. He’s been playing at a club near Rotterdam for 6 years with great success (LaBaraque, The Netherlands) which results in having a new residency at the biggest club in
Rotterdam (Ramblas Club). He plays there for nearly 10 years (1985-1995)
During the week he works as a storemanager at Midtown records in Rotterdam. After those glory days at Ramblas it is time to start a new business together with his wife Helen. They open a club on a boat called Barocca(1996) It is with no doubt the most popular afterclub in the Netherlands at that time. In the same period he starts to work as a labelmanager and producer for the well-known recordlabel "Blue Records", in those days one of the most important indie dance companies in the world. In 1998 he breaks a record in the Dutch dance scene by hitting the dance charts with 7 different records at the same time.
After 4 years Barocca is forced to close down due to new regulations by the city of Rotterdam. It is a big slap in his face and he’s having a hard time for a year, though Peter and Helen pick up the pieces and start a new club called The Revolution (2000) and again it becomes very successful.
During this period he meets Rene Amesz who is working at Midtown and they team up to produce together. They built a brand new studio in the centre of Rotterdam in the back of a record store called Rhythm Import. The store wasn’t a big success but Peter is 100% sure that it is possible to make the shop profitable again, so he buy’s it. Hes currently a club/recordshop/studio owner and dj/producer with his music partner and big friend Rene Amesz. Together they celebrate huge successes in the dance scene, releases under their own names and their project " Underground Movement " are well- respected all over the world. Also doing remix projects for: Whigfield, Alexparty, Azoto, Stock, Aitken & Waterman, Delacy, Danny Tenaglia, Mark Knight, D Ramirez, Tom Stephan, DeuX, Hardsoul and many others, for labels such as: Toolroom, Stereo Productions , Urbana recordings, Tidy, Ministry of Sound, Boss records, Ultrafest, Joia records, Vale , Blanco y Negro.

Comments on DJ Mag Spain: "Fast Forward Parade Report"
"…Peter shows us on the dance floor that he doesn’t only have a very good music taste and excellent producing skills but moreover he is technically perfect due to his smooth transitions, his appropriate scratches, his beautiful versus with accapellas, his 3 deck mixes, and attention!:
some microphone performances! This really is a DEEJAY/ PRODUCER in capital letters…"
