“The last I saw Peter Rehberg was right after David Bowie passed and the two of us were thrown together to DJ a memorial of sorts for the thin white duke at Café Oto in London and it was one of the most joyous times I can remember as we’d trade off choosing Bowie tracks for a crowd of people still dazed by the all-of-suddeness of the rock n roll hero’s leaving. Peter obviously adored Bowie and at one point he became so enthralled with the musicality in all its idiosyncratic, experimental and ineffable pop magic that he began to dance and howl along and the night seemed endless and a welcome rebirth of sorts for everyone in the room. And now Peter has left us as well and I think about how incredibly lovely he was that eve in genuine heartfelt regard for what he innately knew of the essence that is creative life. A rock n roll hero forever.”
