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:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
