Details:
Pistol Pete has created a fresh sound in the last three years with his remixes of top hip-hop artists such as Clipse, Crime Mob, Ghostface, and Dead Prez. Born just outside of Chicago, Pete grew up on the Golden Era of Hip-Hop of the late 80s. However, not afraid to push the BPMs into the stratosphere, Pete's remixes take on all aspects of hip-hop and dance music including Hip-House, Acid, Juke, 8bit, and sample based beats. Pistol Pete's killer first white label in 2004 garnered praise and support from tastemakers like Fluxblog, Catchdubs, Turntable Lab, and Beats in Space. Most recently, Pistol Pete was picked as 2007 URB Magazine's âNext 100â artists to watch, who defines his remixes of Clipse's âWamp Wampâ and Ghostface's âRunâ as âskirting normality in favor of bizarre sounds to form bangin' beats.â

Currently, Pistol Pete has been recruited by indie and major record labels to remix some of their top artists. Pete is also on the heels of debuting his first original single âMake 'em Pop/ Care Bears on Crackâ which will be released on Vicious Pop Digital this September.

Whether it's getting love from top DJs such as Diplo or critics such as Sasha Frere-Jones, his remixes have been finding their way into clubs, radio, and mixtapes. Most notably, several of Pistol Pete's remixes have landed him votes for top singles of the year in the Village Voice Pazz & Jop year end polls. With upcoming original releases, remixes, a mixtape, and DJing dates in the works, keep an eye out for Pistol Pete.
