EBR Podcast 080 - Steve Conry

Peter Croce is a Detroit-based DJ, producer, and head of the boutique vinyl label Rocksteady Disco, which he founded in 2014. 
A true personality DJ and digger, Peter’s sound favors soul and spirit over genres and rules; he endeavors to carry the DIY soundsystem ethos of party hosts a la David Mancuso and Aba Shanti-I into the next generation. 
His career highlights have included Ron Trent’s invitation to play alongside him and François K, and opening for the legendary Grace Jones.

His debut release "Revival" quickly sold out worldwide, earning broad organic support ranging from Mr. Scruff, Soul Clap, Jamie 3:26, and The Blessed Madonna to Kanye West, and is still heard at parties around the world. 
A jazz-trained bassist and prolific re-editor (usually under his Mr. PC alias), he artfully tailors classics and re-creates future gems for his dance floors. 
In addition to his own imprint, his releases can be found on Industry Standard, Razor-N-Tape, Soundway, On The Corner, and Kampana.

Peter maintains a demanding schedule between residencies in Detroit and Chicago, as well as appearances in Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, New York, Miami, London, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., and more. 
He is also the label manager of MotorCity Wine Recordings.

DC - Guest Mix #007 - Peter Croce

Into month two of 2024. This year is flying by. Seems like yesterday we were celebrating Christmas and New year. 
Anyway on with the write up. I did some digging in the racks for this one. Pulled some classic broken beat from the likes of Jazzanova et al, some tasty beat work outs from LTJ Bukem and sprinkled some newer house and techno into the mix. 
Considering I was/am fighting a chest infection I think it turned out pretty well.
Some tricky transitions in this mix too, so tuck in and enjoy the sounds of One foot #90
Bless you and yours. 4c x

Let'z roll back 2 tha yr of 1991' & the Club is NYC'z infamous Wild Pitch, where DJ Pierre named his new sound @ tha time. I personally had chats with my brother Pierre telling me that Wild Pitch was his favorite club when he lived in NYC & how his new tweaked up synth heavy tracks got it's name "Wild Pitch".
Listening 2 this live mixtape, I can see why or how Pierre related his new sound 2 Nick Jones music selectionz.
Anyhow, let me just step aside & let Mr. Nick Jones music do tha talking. Most def on another level!!

OH, U WILL DIG THIS!!!

DJ Cosmo - Club 89 FM WNYU, NYC 6-16-98' (Manny'z Tapez)

Back around 1992' I was working for a resort as mentioned on some previous tapes I posted here. This was way b4 the internet & it was a place where I met people from all around the world.
On this particular day, the customer's I tooked care were a Italian gay couple. They had a small boom box with them, & when one of the guys turned on the tape, I was like yo that's Frankie Knuckles jam 'When Rain Falls"!!! The other guy looked at me with his broken english saying "You know about House Music"???LOL
I was like actually...... after that long conversation, we agreed to trade some tapes. I got this tape & another one by the same DJ Fabrice. He was telling me how this DJ was italy's #1 Deep House DJ. In return I gave him a Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Frankie Knuckles WBMX mixes. They lost it!!! You'll be hearing more of these stories as I met so many people. One being a super model who was telling me about her boyfriend Seb Fontaine of the Ministry of Sound, who I never heard of at that time. But I also gave her a Farley "JackMaster" Funk WBMX 1988 mixtape along with one of me & my 2 brothers on WPRK.
Anyhow, I hope you dig this as much as I did & still do now.
