Peo De Pitte got involved in the music business at the age of 14 when he started broadcasting at a local radio station. This also got him into DJ'ing, his vibes at first consisting of beats oriented soul and rap. He bought records with De La Soul, Public Enemy, Gangstarr, Bomb the Bass and Mantronix and his goal was then set. This is what I want to do! This is my calling! I want to DJ and produce music!
Since then things has been both easy and hard for Peo de Pitte. Easy, because his goals were clear. Hard, because we wasn't of legal age to go anywhere near a night club. The radio station, however, came to his aid. He DJ'ed all the stations big parties and also did his first stumbling attempts of remixing tunes, which of course got played on the radio. Mysteriously...
His first contact with breaks came when he first heard Blapps Posse Bus it (It's time to get busy) on the radio during a visit to London. Whilst there he also picked up vinyls with amongst others Renegade Soundwave and N-Joi. He came home with his bags full of new records and started caning them on home turf. Soon, the then 16 year old Peo got a gig at the night club Galaxy in Stockholm. There was a huge crowd and he dropped Prodigy's Charly. The place erupted! It wasn't long before the movers and shakers in Stockholm got their eyes open for this young talent and at age 17 he landed his first record deal with Swedish legendary label SweMix, at that time run by Stonebridge. It's been upwards onwards since then.
Peo continued working as a studio producer, DJ and with radio. His productions have been richly varied in style, but always with that breakbeat feel to it.
For you to know!
Peo have been doing remixing for Ratpack (Lord of the dance/Captain of the ship) and his own productions have been supported by: James Zabiela, Evil 9, Madam Breaks, Atomic Hooligan, Annie Nightingale Radio1, DJ Icey, Jay Cunning, Dreadzone, Steelzawheelz, DJ Tamsin, Ben & Lex, Maelstrom, Capoeira Twins and Andy Durrant/Ministry of Sound to name a few.
Peo now runs his own label FlatOut Records!
