Peter's musical career starts at the age of 14 (1979) musically inspired by Earth Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, George Benson etc. He played at a club near Rotterdam for 6 years with great succes (LaBaraque, The Netherlands) which resulted in having a new residency at the biggest club in Rotterdam (Ramblas Club). He played there for nearly 10 years (1985-1995) !! During the week he worked as a storemanager at Midtown records in Rotterdam.

After those glory days at Ramblas it was time to start something for his own together with his wife Helen. The result was a club on a boat called Barocca(1996) which was no doubt the most populair afterclub in the Netherlands at that time. During the week he started to work as a labelmanager and producer for the wellknown recordlabel "Blue Records". After 4 years Barocca had to close his doors because of new rules of the city of Rotterdam. It was a big slap in the face and he had a hard time for a year, but Peter and Helen recovered and started at a new club called The Revolution (2000) and again it was (and still is) a great success.

During this period he met Rene Amesz who was working at Midtown and they discussed if there was a possibility to co-operate and produce together. They built a brand new studio in the centre of Rotterdam at the back of a record store called Rhythm Import.He's currently a club/studio CO owner with his wife Helen and producer with his music partner Muzikjunki. In the past he did many releases with Rene Amesz Releases under their own names and their project " Underground Movement " are wellknown all over the world.

The current productions of Peter Gelderblom are appreciated by great artists such as David Penn, Dj Chus & Ceballos, Deep Dish, Roger Sánchez, Simon & Shaker, Sander Kleinenberg, Joe T Vanelli, Hernan Cattaneo, Pete Tong, etc... and his very personnal sets seduce with an not comparable and unique groove which turns him into one of the best funky house & tribal house deejays in the world.
