Peter Black (2)

Real Name:
Pierr Zirians
Profile:
Peter Black’s musical career started from humble beginnings, playing post-punk, new wave disco and acid house cuts in several clubs on the West Coast in the mid to late eighties.
By the early nineties, having decided the early rave movement was not the direction for him, he embarked on a career to make, promote and sell the music that had
originally brought so much enthusiasm to him the crowds he had played for.


In early 1993, only a year into his production career, Peter released his first project as Sweet Drop on Strictly Rhythm Records. Which at that time was one of the industry's hottest labels. Through the support and encouragement of West Coast legend Doc Martin, Sweet Drop became a globally appreciated and recognized name. Soon, Sweet Drop was signed to New York's Groovilicious Records, Strictly Rhythm's
sister label. The release of his "Human Nature" in 1996 became an anthem in Ibiza and throughout the dance world while solidifying Groovilicious as an industry staple. After several releases exclusive to the label, Peter took a few years off from dance music to work on several rock projects.


In the late 90's Peter re-launched his solo career this time under his own name and since 1999 has not looked back. Affectionaly refered to as the "Anthem Remixer" by his peers he rocked Miami's Winter Music Conference in 2001 with his floor stomping remix of Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" and continutes to crank out a bevy of original tunes and quality remixes today.


In addition to his musical output Peter is also the owner of Parisonic Records and it's sub label Square Root.
