Brooklyn-based DJ/Producer, Peter Napoli is an unstoppable force who has been igniting dance floors for over a decade. Known for his legendary parties at Santos Party House and around the U. S., he's been growing an ambitious solo career billed alongside some of the industry's top artists.
Peter's childhood was immersed in rhythm, setting the stage for his eventual success. His father, a renowned drummer, instilled in him from a young age an immense appreciation for all genres of music. This background has fueled Peter's passion for music from an early age leading him to pursue a career in the field.
Peter's professional journey began in 2009, when he launched his DJ career in the vibrant and electric atmosphere of Mexico City. Since then, he has risen to prominence in the world of House music, captivating audiences with a unique sound and infectious beats.
As his sound evolved, Peter found inspiration from House music legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Octave One, Danny Tenaglia, Victor Calderone and Peter Rauhofer. With each set you'll find a soulful, driving energy bridging the gaps between House, Techno and Latin percussion. He has since developed a style that reflects the vibrant nightclub scene of New York's past while incorporating fresh takes and an array of percussion that always keeps the crowd on their toes. His exceptional skills have taken him all over the world, with performances in South America, Spain, Canada, as well as legendary sets at Burning Man.
It's a rare and magical experience to come across a DJ who possesses the innate ability to create an immersive and captivating atmosphere through their music. Peter Napoli is a one-of-a-kind artist who not only understands this skill, but executes it with extraordinary precision, leaving his audience mesmerized and transported to another world.

Some of the best things come out of spontaneous moments. This is an example of that. When someone you admire and lookup to in the industry agrees to jump on the decks for bit such as my brotha, Tedd Patterson earlier this month at VOYAGE! Thank you for the grooves, Tedd!!
It was such a treat playing at Monarch SF last weekend. The VOID sound system warms the tracks so nicely, you easily get lost right into the music. For those who didn't make it, enjoy. - ❤ Peter
When it's your birthday, the energy always seems to reach new heights! I had such a blast playing that night and I'm excited to share this with you all. I hope you enjoy just as much off the dance floor. For those who missed, check it out! - always from the ♥
Sometimes I go into these events with an idea or loose plan, something I think will work and will please everyone, however, not until you are standing in front of your audience will you really know what do. Your exchange with the crowd is everything! Those spontaneous instances where the night takes you in a totally different direction, where everything is organic, on the fly and from the heart (as it should be), those instances to me are what produce the best results. Here is an excerpt from a recent private party I played. Hope you enjoy!! - Always from the <3 Peter
This set is a melting pot of emotions unique to my experience at Burning Man. A place with an energy like no other in the world and a perfect platform to experiment and play with various basslines and melodies.
This is my second time playing on the Playa and once again, I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity thanks to the Playa)'(Skool Camp.
So, checkout this excerpt from my set and try to imagine yourself in the Playa)'(Skool dome on Wednesday, September 2nd. As always, my love and passion for music continues to grow each day and I thank you for being apart of it. <3
A big thank you to the U.S. Supreme Court, it's associates and everybody involved in the fight for the legalization of same-sex marriage. This pride has an even bigger reason to celebrate so let the season be filled with more joy and happiness.
This year's Pride set is a combination of my set at Irving Plaza in Nyc, plus more of my favorite BIG room tracks from over the years! This set is a CELESTIAL journey meant to take you to a far off place in your mind as you celebrate PRIDE this year. Hope you enjoy!

Cartagena, Colombia is for sure one of the most magical cities I've ever been to. As I prepared for my trip and thought about the flavor of music I wanted to share, right away I began searching for my favorite tracks that have that Latin flavor, percussion and vocals. I wanted that consistent rhythm that makes you move those hips and puts a smile on your face. The unique energy of the city paired with the inviting Colombian culture made for an incredible New Years Eve. I had such a blast playing for this party that went well past sunrise. ¡Disfruta amigos!
An after-hours set must have drama and excitement. The beats should consume you with an intensity that inspires emotion, no matter what. This set is filled with deep bass and dark vocals that come together for that driving rhythm that we all look for on the dance floor, especially when we're "BELOW THE SURFACE". "A journey through the underground."
I am a strong believer in "the journey" and Burning Man is a perfect example of what that means. From beginning to end, it was an unforgettable experience. This idea of "the journey" is also something I'm consistently conscious of when mixing music. The inspiration I found on the Playa is something I will take with me forever and I am truly grateful for it. I'd like to especially thank the producers of Play)A(Skool for inviting me to play 2 of their parties and giving me such a memorable first burn!
Recorded live at one my good friends birthday parties. A mix of DISCO/INDIE ELECTRONIC & DEEP HOUSE. A fun progression of beats that you can lounge or dance to, a blend of contemporary and classic meant to move the soul and warm the heart. Happy Birthday J!
