AP : GRAMMY AWARD WINNER PETER RAUHOFER FURIOUS OVER NIGHTCLUB GIG IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, USA

Peter Rauhofer, Grammy Award Winner for "Remixer of the Year" was physically thrown out of the popular late hours club "Two Four Club" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 25, 2000. Sources confirm that Peter was scheduled to perform at the "Gay Night" Grand Opening at Gasoline Nightclub earlier in the evening but due to low attendance the ownership proposed to send Peter to their other property, The Two Four Club, and convinced him that a 'gay' crowd will be there to hear him spin.

When Peter arrived at Midnight no crowd was present & was told at that moment that the audience will not start arriving till 1:30am. At that point, Peter & his entourage began having cocktails at the bar & was then demanded by management and staff to begin spinning to an empty floor. As Peter refused, the management became furious & had him removed from the club in the adjacent alley only to wait for his records to be brought out & then to be sent back to NYC without pay.

"I have never experienced this type of treatment in my career & am shocked to arrive to this city with two empty nighclubs," said Peter "I have been to Philadelphia before during Philadelphia's Circuit Party weekend last winter at another nightspot and was treated like royalty." As Peter demanded his pay, the management refused & then when asked for the owners, he was told they were unavailable due to a Paul Oakenfold Event at another property they own, named "Transit Falcon Club".

Sources confirm that Rauhofer was originally booked for "Transit Falcon Club" & Oakenfold was booked for "Gasoline Night Club", but since Gasolines' opening a month ago for the underage rave clubgoers had failed, the ownership had switched venues with the DJ's at the last minute to launch a 'gay format' at Gasoline.

Peter Rauhofer (Club 69) won the 2000 Grammy Award for Remixer of the Year for Cher's "Believe", Funky Green Dog's "Body", Everything But The Girls "Five Fathoms", Donna Summer's "I Will Go With You", Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay", & Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters". Peter says he plans to play in Philadelphia some time in the future but will never work for unfamiliar venues again. "I hope people boycott those venues & I still am shocked for that type of disrespect from staff & management that obviously don't know the people who make the music".

And they say that Philadelphia is the City of Brothery & Sisterly Love?

omg adam that totally fawkin sucks, geez and we wonder why sometimes shit is soo hard to attract a big crowd here!! my God, i fawkin supported people like that going to transit for oakenfold? and you'd think they'd be friendlier to dj's esp. since gasoline is failing. i sure hope they dont own evolution, fluid, etc. next time i think he should dj at Fluid, or Kaleidoscope cafe. where are you gonna be at in the upcoming weeks? holla back! yea city of brotherly shove is more like it.
