PETER GELDERBLOM
Fresh from the storming top five success of Fedde Le Grand and Ida Corr’s
‘Let Me Think About It’, Spinnin Records continue their chart assault with the
release of Peter Gelderblom’s ‘Waiting 4’ by the end of 2007: a slice of
exhilarating dance music, which has been tearing up the white isle last
summer.
Starting life as a bootleg of the Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s ‘By The Way’, the
record immediately had the underground scene buzzing, as the likes of Judge
Jules and David Guetta clamoured to get their hands on the track that had
crowds chanting for it to be played (check YouTube for the evidence). Pete
Tong, Dave Pearce & Judge Jules have all hammered it on Radio 1 leading to
early daytime plays from both Jo Whiley & Scott Mills!
Hype on the record was already at fever pitch around Europe with Peter
playing to festival crowds in excess of 100,000 people and ‘Waiting 4’
became a sing-a-long anthem. The instantly recognisable opening riff, the
back of the net hitting bassline, the sing along vocal hook and the ever
present strings which tie up the whole package. This was another Spinnin
nugget destined to become a dancefloor anthem, radio mainstay and video
classic over the last months. Peter started his DJ career at the tender age of
14, moving on over the years to tie down residencies at some of the biggest
clubs in his native Rotterdam. Work as a record store owner, label manager
and, latterly, an in demand remixer followed, mixing (quite literally) in the
same circles as Laidback Luke, Fedde Le Grand, Rene Amez, Steve Angello and
Eric Prydz. Having played all over the world including a residency at the
infamous Space in Ibiza, Gelderblom is set to be the next to make the
crossover from underground sensation, to household favourite.
Peter made it, Spinnin (who else) found it, the crowds love it – pick up the
records and Dj you’ve been ‘Waiting 4’
Peter's musical career starts at the age of 14 (1979) musical 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) wich
resulted in having a new residency at the biggest club in Rotterdam (Ramblas
Club). He played there for nearly 10 years!!
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 wich was with 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 a new club called The Revolution
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 coorperate and produce together. They
build a brand new studio in the centre of Rotterdam at the back of a record
store called Rhythm Import. The store did\'nt do so well but Peter was 100%
sure that is was possible to make the shop do well again, so he bought it.
Nowadays he's club/shop/studio owner and producer with his musical partner
and big friend Rene Amesz.
