RS: Sounds good. So let me ask you one last question...What do you listen to when you're not spinning? Like when you're hanging around you're apartment or whatever?
Peter: I listen to a lot of 70's rock and pop. Not so much the "Le Freak" and "I Will Survive" disco stuff but more like Supertramp, and Eric Clapton. Also 80's New Wave stuff like Thompson Twins, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Spandau Ballet. I always go through my collection and start getting sentimental with the music from back then. Another interesting thing is that I like to listen to my own stuff. The thing is, I did so much in my whole life that sometimes I've totally forgotten what I did 5 years ago and then I go back and listen because I'm curious to see what I would change. And sometimes I'm surprised, like wow I used this sound back then already, or I did this effect back then and I really don't even remember. It's interesting when you go back and listen to stuff you did years ago because it's important also to see how you've evolved, how did you change? It's important to have your own trademark sound but also that you go with he times and change and update yourself. To be kind of fresh but still be identifiable...
