Career
Rauhofer was a popular DJ who spun throughout the United States. He was the former resident DJ at the weekly gay dance night held at the Roxy in New York, which closed its doors in 2007. Rauhofer is currently the resident DJ of the gay dance party called "Work." Peter's party was held weekly at the Stereo nightclub in New York until March 3, 2008 when the City invoked eminent domain and acquired the building. "Work" is currently a monthly event, despite lacking a permanent venue.
Rauhofer is mostly known for spinning tribal house and used to play many gay circuit party events, until a falling out with the organizers of the White Party in Miami, a fundraiser for the AIDS charity Care Resource. In 2009, Rauhofer angered national and Miami gay activists when he produced an event the same night as the Winter Party, a charity event produced by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. In 2010, local activists protested outside Rauhofer's event, sporting t-shirts emblazoned with the logo "StopPeter.com", and claiming that Rauhofer was "profiteering on the backs of the LGBT community. In addition, twenty-five Miami community leaders signed an open letter to Rauhofer and The Opium Group, owners of the club hosting Rauhofer's event, asking them to "not sponsor a competing party next year." Rauhofer ignored these requests, and produced a competing party in 2011. One is also scheduled in 2012.
Peter Rauhofer (Club 69) won the Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Remixer of the Year for his remix of Cher Believe song.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
