THE PERSON

Peter Croce is a Detroit-based DJ, producer, and head of the boutique vinyl label Rocksteady Disco, which he founded in 2014. A true personality DJ and digger, Peter’s sound favors soul and spirit over genres and rules; he endeavors to carry the DIY soundsystem ethos of party hosts a la David Manusco and Aba Shanti-I into the next generation. His career highlights have included Ron Trent’s invitation to play alongside him and François K, and opening for the legendary Grace Jones.

His debut release "Revival" quickly sold out worldwide, earning broad organic support ranging from Mr. Scruff, Soul Clap, Jamie 3:26, and The Blessed Madonna to Kanye West, and is still heard at parties around the world. A jazz- trained bassist and prolific re-editor (usually under his Mr. PC alias), he artfully tailors classics and re-creates future gems for his dance floors. In addition to his own imprint, his releases can be found on Industry Standard, Razor-N- Tape, Soundway, On The Corner, and Kampana.

Peter maintains a demanding schedule between residencies in Detroit and Chicago, as well as appearances in Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, New York, Miami, London, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., and more. He is also the label manager of MotorCity Wine Recordings.

"Rocksteady Disco is releasing some of the best and most important records in the scene today. The young imprint which was established only five years ago has the feel of a label that has been around for generations. In a throwaway, on-demand, insta-satisfaction society, researching and respecting dance music’s history while implementing the ideals which led to its present state means taking the longer, more arduous road. But driven by a motivation to share its messages and to create lasting connections that stand the test of time, Rocksteady Disco’s journey has just begun." -5 Magazine
"Over the last few years, Peter Croce AKA Mr PC has delivered some of the finest re-edits around." -Juno
"Peter likes to get worldly, digging deep into bossa nova, African funk, afro beat, obscure house music, and deep disco cuts that’ll be most familiar to folks who listen guys like Gilles Peterson or Theo Parrish." -The Public
"Soul cannot be manufactured, it must be conjured from the clash between darkness and light. It's hard to use words to describe what it feels like to hear it, but you know damn well when do. In this manner, Peter Croce's 'Revival' is simply dripping in spirit." -Magnetic Mag
