In the late 1970s he began experimenting with DJing and making mixes, using tape recorders to loop the most intense parts of disco songs (often the break) into a maelstrom of raw hypnotic disco power. Not afraid of using thick layers of flanging and buckets of echo effects to elevate the music into a new dimensional space. These mixes would be bootlegged on vinyl, one of the greatest is the DISCO BREAKS II released around 1981. A quote from I-F about this mix: ''Disco breaks 1 & 2 are the best dicso mixes ever, together with Surprise Power (Formula 1 Dynamite) from Ed Smit also from 1981. All three mixes are still as good as the first time I heard them and the impact was enermous! I also had a tape tha was recorded in the Downtown club in Maasluis where Laser- dance melted with Krafktwerk's Numbers...All that shit dictated my life path'' Listen to that mix here Tracklist: 1 Sergio Mendez - I'll Tell You 2 Blondie - Rapture 3 Kurtis Blow - The Breaks 4 Sharon Redd - Can You Handle It 5 Kano - It's A War 6 Geraldine Hunt - Could We 7 Sister Sledge - All American Girls 8 Latoya Jackson - If You Feel The Funk 9 Change - Paradise 10 Sister Sledge - If You Realy Want Me 11 Queen Samantha - Mama Rue 12 Nightlife Unlimeted - Love Is In You 13 Peaches And Herb - Funtime 14 Frankie Vally - Soul 15 Latoya Jackson - If You Feel The Funk 16 Sal Barberi - Let's Get Funky 17 Lipps Inc - How Long 18 Duncan Sisters - Boys Will Be Boys 19 First Choice - Don't Say Goodnight 20 Viola Wills - If You Can't Read My Mind 21 Project - Love Resque 22 Disco Dream & The Androids - Dream Machine 23 Vivian Vee - Give Me A Break 24 Dan Hartman - Countdown 25 Lime - Your Love 26 Ferara - Wuthering Heights 27 Strikers - Body Music 28 Mike Theodore Orchestra - High On Mad Mountain 29 Debbie Jacobs - Hot Hot give it all you got Peter Slaghuis died in a car crash in 1991 at the height of his career.
