-----------------------------------------





Based in Oslo, Norway, Peter is a seasoned DJ
with a profound love for vinyl and an unwavering 
passion for electronic music. 
Peter's musical journey began in the early 80s 
when he was captivated by the movie 
Beat Street, Peter purchased his first SL1210 turntables, 
marking the beginning of his vinyl journey. 
This marked the inception of his exploration 
into various genres, including hip hop, italo disco 
and the pulsating club music of that era.

As the sound evolved, Peter found himself deeply 
influenced by the emergence of Chicago house, 
hip house, and acid, 
which left an indelible mark on his musical sensibilities. 
Embracing his identity as a DJ 
he embarked on an exhilarating period of 
heavy-duty partying and secured a residency 
at Qurel, a prominent Oslo club that was 
at the forefront of the house music scene 
in the late 80s. Simultaneously, he became 
a staple at underground house parties, 
leaving an unforgettable impression 
on the Oslo music scene.

In the mid-80s, Peter's fascination with technology 
led him to experiment with techno gadgets, 
such as the iconic TB-303 and TR-606. 
Over time, favorites like the TR-808, TR-909, 
Juno 106, Jupiter 8, and Akai S-900 became 
integral components of his setup. 
With the advent of MIDI and his acquisition 
of a Mac equipped with Cubase, 
Peter seamlessly connected his array of gear, 
culminating in the release of his album 

"Homegrown" 

This milestone marked the birth of his own label, 
NeverLand Productions, and showcased his 
versatility under the pseudonym Peter Pan.

In 1996, Peter's journey took him to Koh Phangan, 
a mesmerizing island in southern Thailand. 
He landed a residency at the Vinyl club on 
Haad Riin beach, the legendary birthplace 
of Full Moon parties, attracting crowds of 
up to 10,000 partygoers each month. 
Additionally, he performed at numerous 
events throughout his stay in Thailand, 
including unforgettable gigs alongside Dave 
at the renowned Backyard club.

In 1998, Peter and a friend embarked on an 
epic adventure, driving from Oslo  to Ibiza in 
Peter's trusty car.  Their determination paid off 
as they secured a DJ residency in a bar in Ibiza town, 
where they delivered dj sets throughout 
the season, captivating audiences 
with their musical selections.

Subsequently, Peter indulged in the pleasure of 
music production, exploring software like Cubase, 
Reason, StudioOne, and Ableton Live. 
Fuelled by his creativity, he released tracks on 
labels such as Small Records, Avocado Dream, 
Evader Records, Aquavit Beats, 
SoHappy Recordings and Oyhopper Records, 
under aliases like PeterPan303 and, 
more recently, Peter Greenwood.

From Oslo's underground scene to international 
stages, he has graced venues like: 
The VinylClub, Backyard, Confusion, Betong, 
Rockefeller, John Dee,  Sentrum Scene, 
Uforia, Norefjell, Nebb, Borgen, Barbeint, 
Skansen, Exit, Hausmania, Pure, Sementfabrikken, 
Quart Festival, PUSH, XL, Sjokoladefabrikken, 
Sikamikanico and Golden Gate in Berlin.

and the Midnightsun Festival in Lakselv.
