Today brings more somber news to an already difficult week with word that DJ, label owner, and in-demand remix artist Peter Rauhofer has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Rauhofer’s manager posted a message on the DJ’s Facebook page saying:

Dear Friends and Loyal Fans,

As Peter Rauhofer’s manager and dear friend for many years, it is my sad duty to announce that Peter was rushed to the emergency room several weeks ago. After confirming that Peter had a seizure, further testing has revealed a large brain tumor, something that has gone undiagnosed for quite some time.

At this time, Peter’s family is working closely with a team of talented Neurologists to determine the overall best treatment option. Please be assured that he is getting the absolute finest care possible, twenty-four hours a day.

I know Peter would appreciate your kind consideration and positive energy during this extremely difficult period. We will post any updates and progress reports as they become available.

Feel free to post your condolences as well as check into this page for updates.

Sincerely,

Angelo

Among the most prominent DJs at gay circuit parties, Rauhofer’s other bona fides include winning a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Remixer of the Year for his remix of Cher’s “Believe” and remixing numerous dance hits for Madonna and Britney Spears.

At least it's not AIDS. My prayers are with him. I hope that they find a cure for his horrible disease, and the cancer too.

Are you talking his homosexuality or his taste in dance music?

damn this sucks


Famed DJ, label owner and Grammy Award-winning remix artist DJ Peter Rauhofer, noted for his work with Cher, Madonna and the Pet Shop Boys, has died of cancer at age 48. Last month Rauhofer’s manager announced the popular circuit party DJ had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

A message posted on Rauhofer’s Facebook page reads:

Today the music industry has lost one of its true heroes.

With a heavy heart I must now report that Peter Rauhofer has lost his battle with brain cancer.

He passed quietly today and is survived by his mother, Helga, who resides in Austria.

She will transport Peter back home to his final resting place there, but to all that knew Peter, his heart will always be in New York City.

It makes me sad, not only that I have lost a friend, but that the world has lost an amazing talent and that future generations will never get to understand the magic that Peter created night after night all over the world.

He is gone too soon but we will always have the vast body of music that Peter left for us.

Through his music, Peter will live forever. The brightest stars always burn out too soon. Peter, you were loved and you will be terribly missed. Goodbye my friend. Please rest in peace knowing that you have brought so much joy to so many of us. I ask that his true fans keep his legacy alive by sharing his music with anyone who may not have had the opportunity to experience it for themselves.

Lol just actually looked at the link in the opening post. Probably could've saved me the time of typing up that last post. Also the fact that Seth posted about this at all should've been a dead give away that he was either a gay, an aging wrestler or "camp" style actor.

You should def. remind us how shitty techno is every time Seth posts a video tho. Might make everyone stop ignoring you in every thread.

from DJ Big Kid

We all die. The goal is not to live forever. The goal is to create something that will. And you did with your genius music. Rest in peace, Peter Rauhofer. You will be missed.
