In 94 there came party’s near the city of Leeuwarden called gates to hell. These partys where a huge success and Peter and one of his friends decided to organize the after party in a club in Leeuwarden.
After a few successful 7 gates party’s the organisation invited Peter to play at one of their party’s. there he got noticed by one of the guys from ID&T who asked him if he was interested to play at a thunderdome on tour in the north of Holland.
On this party he got company from the mc of Hip Hop group and it became a huge success. They decided to kept this format and became known as UZI and Da Mouth of Madness.

After a short period of taking it easy Peter made a short crossover to the beginning of hardstyle. He played on qlub tempo, dana and Holland exclusive, and 2 fast 4 trance. In this period he got asked to play more of the old early hardcore tunes. Peter took his records out of the shelves and played his records on House qlassics , hardbase and project hardcore.nl in 2008 he also played at the mystery area on mystery land and several smaller party’s.
