MUSIC FROM PETER'S HOUSE


Peter Schuette is a guy you probably know from Silk Flowers and Psychobuildings, if not, that's him above looking like Sun Ra and Tom Selleck. He also makes music on his own as Peter's House Music, which we raved about a while back. Today Peter's taken the time out from his hectic schedule to make us a really, really excellent mix and to explain the misconceptions about his dubious moniker. Listen and download below.

Peter: This mix has very little to do with house music proper, except for the Farley Jackmaster Funk track. There's been a little confusion about the name of my project and the genre of house. I'm a fan of Chicago house, but PHM is really just the music I make in my house, or I guess, my apartment. Genres are pretty meaningless these days anyway, so why not?

This is the music I've been listening to in my house. Lots of it is from other people's mixes. I took track four off a Frankie Knuckles radio program my friend Nate Harrington gave me from 1986. Sorry the quality is so bad, but it was probably on a tape in somebody's basement for a long time. A few tracks are from the amazing mixes my friend Tim Lokiec has made over the last few months. A couple of them are reedits I've done for fun. This mix probably makes about as much sense as my new record.
