Summary

Teresa sits down with legendary DJ and producer Jonathan Peters, the man who ruled NYC nightlife with marathon sets at the iconic Sound Factory. From getting kicked out of the Palladium by Junior Vasquez to remixing Whitney Houston and dropping Let the Sunshine In, JP takes us on a wild ride through his decades-long career. They talk about how the sound of electronic music has changed, why real vocalists are missing from today’s dance scene, and how he turned embarrassment into one of his biggest hits.
