How appropriate DJ Peter Rauhofer returns with an anthem to Gotham City just as I plot my return to New York. The only difference is the legendary DJ never went anywhere- he stayed true to the game, the vibe, the sounds of NYC.
Love, power, hoes and drugs. Peter Rauhofer's I Love New York is New York and don't let anyone tell you differently. The veteran has gotten brave- compiling 20 previously unreleased tracks while paying homage to the elite old school. I Love New York is Rauhofer's first 2-disk set since the now defunct Live @ Roxy series. Maybe Rauhofer's sending New York and the world a message that the heart of music starts with the often forgotten underground.
I Love New York is in typical Rauhofer form- hidden messages, a long-running story and a little wit. The message is clear, though: Lighten up, laugh a little and party like it's your last day in the best city in the world.

I Love New York isn't for the vocally inclined, unless you like little bites here and there, but that's why Peter has other artists on the Star 69 label. Peter is about the party and who has time to lip synch when it's the groove that makes you move? I have to admit, I Love New York is a step above the Live @ Roxy series, which at times seemed like a mixed tape of top club hits instead of a DJ set. There's no need to worry, though. This first of his new series flows well and is a good prelude to future cutting edge sets. Take I Love New York on a road trip or stream it on your pod. I, for one, am packing my bags to go back to the land of love and dance. You don't have to go that far, though. A spin around I Love New York will do you just as good.
