Tom Peters

Berlin based DJ and label head blending queer nightlife glamour with groovy techno.

Tom Peters is a DJ, producer, and label head based in Berlin whose sound bridges the raw energy of the German underground with the flamboyant glamour of New York City's queer nightlife. Mentored by Kevin McHugh, Peters developed a style steeped in the hypnotic pulse of tribal house and groovy techno, often incorporating diva vocals and Latin percussion into his sets. He first gained international recognition with his 2013 breakout track "Take Your Chance" on Kompakt, followed by notable releases on Get Physical Music and Selador, as well as a collaboration with Honey Dijon. A fixture in the global queer club circuit, he holds a longstanding residency at Susanne Bartsch's ON TOP at Le Bain in NYC and frequently performs at iconic venues like Berghain, BASEMENT, and RSO Berlin. Beyond the decks, he is the founder of the DESSERT event series and record labels, alongside community focused projects like BERLINCIAGAY and Club Sober. By honoring the golden lineage of dance music while pushing its modern boundaries, Peters crafts liberating, technically refined dancefloor experiences that resonate deeply within the contemporary scene.
