BIO

BORN IN POLAND, PETEONE IS A CHICAGO BASED DJ, PRODUCER, PROMOTER, AND HOST OF HIS OWN RADIO SHOW. THESE ROLES HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO GAIN EXPERIENCE, INSIGHT, AND CONTACTS IN THE WORLD OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC. AS A DJ, HIS STYLE OF MUSIC CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A MIX OF DEEP AND SEXY TECH-HOUSE. HE’S PARTICULARLY KNOWN FOR READING THE CROWD DURING HIS SETS AND DIRECTING HIS MUSIC TOWARDS HIS AUDIENCE WHILE FEEDING OFF THEIR ENERGY. HIS INFLUENCES COME FROM EVERYDAY LIFE EXPERIENCES, HIS SURROUNDINGS FRIENDS, AND PRODUCTIONS FROM HIS FAVORITE ARTISTS. PETE ADMIRES AND FOLLOWS THE WORK OF PRODUCERS SUCH AS RICHIE HAWTIN, GUIDO SCHNEIDER, LUCIANO, RICARDO VILLALOBOS, AND BEN WATT.

WHILE GROWING UP IN EUROPE DURING THE EARLY 90’S, HE DISCOVERED EDM AND WAS INTRIGUED BY THE REVOLUTIONARY SOUNDS OF ARTISTS SUCH AS THE PRODIGY, ORBITAL, AND CHEMICAL BROTHERS JUST TO NAME A FEW. DJS LIKE SASHA AND JOHN DIGWEED ALSO PLAYED A HUGE PART IN INFLUENCING HIS EARLY MUSICAL TASTE.
IN 2000, PETEONE MOVED TO CHICAGO AND WAS ABLE WIDEN HIS HORIZONS AFTER DISCOVERING THE CHICAGO HOUSE SCENE. AS MOST BEGINNERS, HE PLAYED A LOT OF HOUSE PARTIES AND SMALL CLUB GIGS. IN 2005, HE WAS FEATURED ON THE ENERGY 92.7 FM RADIO STATION AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO A MUCH WIDER AUDIENCE.
BUILDING ON THIS MOMENTUM, THE FOLLOWING YEAR WAS A BREAKTHROUGH FOR HIS DJ CAREER AS HE BECAME PART OF AMP PRODUCTIONS. PETEONE WORKED AS A PROMOTER AND GAINED THE RECOGNITION OF HIS PEERS ON THE LOCAL SCENE. SOON AFTER, HE LANDED A MONTHLY RESIDENCY AT THE WORLD-RENOWNED VISION NIGHTCLUB IN CHICAGO. DJ GIGS CAME ROLLING IN AFTER THAT, AND HE PLAYED IN CLUBS ALL OVER THE CITY SUCH AS VISION, SPYBAR, FOUR, VICTOR HOTEL, ZENTRA, VIRGIN LOUNGE, REDNO5 AND A FEW OTHER SMALL VENUES. HE WAS ALSO FEATURED ON NUMEROUS RADIO STATIONS LIKE PROTON, FRISKY, XTC RADIO, AND WNUR 89.3FM
IN 2007, HIM AND A FEW OF HIS FELLOW DJ PARTNERS STARTED KONTROLLMUSIC, AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC PROMOTION AGENCY. IN 2008, PETEONE ORGANIZED THE “CHICAGO EDM SCENE PRE WMC 2008 MEETUP” JUST PRIOR TO THE MIAMI WMC IN MARCH. TOWARDS THE END OF THAT YEAR, PETE FOUND A RENEWED PASSION IN RECENT ELECTRONIC RELEASES AND DECIDED TO VOICE THIS INTEREST BY CREATING A RADIO SHOW. THIS LED TO THE WEEKLY RECORD CHECK, WHICH BROADCASTED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2008. THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE A LIVE INDEPENDENT ONLINE RADIO SHOW THAT WOULD FEATURE THE BEST CURRENT TRACKS IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC. AFTER AIRING THE FIRST 8 EPISODES NEAR THE END OF THAT YEAR, THE SHOW IMMEDIATELY OBTAINED INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION AND GAINED FANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

AS HIS FRIENDS CAN ATTEST, PETE IS AN OPEN MINDED PERSON WITH A GREAT SENSE OF DIRECTION AND A CONTINUOUS DESIRE TO LEARN NEW METHODS. HE STRIVES TO REFLECT PERFECTION IN HIS WORK AND HAS DEDICATED 100% OF HIS TIME TOWARDS ATTAINING HIS GOALS.
