Thirty years
of reading rooms
Peter G has spent three decades doing the one thing a booking actually depends on: walking into a room, working out what that crowd wants, and giving it to them before they know to ask.
That has meant nightclubs — Exchange LA, Time, Academy LA, Avalon Hollywood, Nova SD, and a long list of Orange County rooms he plays every weekend. It has meant a monthly residency at the Hard Rock Casino, where the floor turns over every hour and the set has to turn with it. It has meant Burning Man, and festival stages up and down California.
Open format is the whole point. A country crowd at a festival, a house room at 1AM, a casino floor that wants everything at once — the job is the same. He builds his own edits and mashups too, so the transitions in his sets don't exist anywhere else.
He has taken the direct support slot for Gareth Emery at Time Nightclub, played the same room on a bill with Morgan Page, worked Fiesta De Taco at Silverlakes in Norco alongside E-40, Too $hort and Baby Bash, and on October 17 he is on the official Boots In The Park lineup in San Juan Capistrano alongside Jon Pardi.
He hosts, too. He runs Dead Sexy Halloween in Costa Mesa — three rooms, his own event, on the mic and behind the decks.
“Anyone can play the hits — we could all have the exact same library. It comes down to how you introduce that next record, how you present it to the crowd. The transition should connect with their souls. Seamlessly. That's what matters.” — Peter G
