Imagine coming home to your house broken into, and everything of importance stolen, records, computers and everything else destroyed. I don’t think I can recover from this one I’ll be honest.

This is what happened to @Peter steele dj today…

@EnigmaState began a GoFundMe collection:

Anyone who knows Peter Steele knows he's one of the nicest, most genuine people in the music industry. He's also become one of my close friends, which makes this even more heartbreaking.

Peter has recently had his home broken into, with all of his records, computers, music equipment, unfinished music and personal belongings that cannot be replaced, stolen or destroyed.

For someone who has dedicated so much of his life to music, this is absolutely devastating. He's understandably struggling to come to terms with what's happened and has already had to pull out of his upcoming ADE performance.

I'm setting up this fundraiser to help Peter get back on his feet, replace some of what he's lost and hopefully take a little bit of the financial pressure off him during an incredibly difficult time.

Peter is someone who has given so much to the music community, and it would be great if we could all show him some love and support during this time.

Whether you can spare £5, £10 or simply share this page, every little bit will help.

Let's show Peter how much he's loved and supported.

Thank you ❤️

If you can and would like to help - do it 👍

Thanks @Everyone for the donations and sharing.
After speaking with Peter, it's heartbreaking to hear how much has been stolen and destroyed, from his studio equipment and vinyl collection, to his clothing, personal possessions, clothes, passport and photos.

There's actually two GoFund Me pages set up, one by myself and one by George Winkworth (Slipstream/Atlantis) - we both had the same idea but didn't realise either was being set up. All donations on this will go to help Peter effectively start over again.

Thank you! ♥️

Sad to hear this. Shared this news to my Chinese friends, hope it helps.

By the way, I noticed a new track on Pure Trance by Peter is released today without any preview, maybe it's Rich's help to Peter. Hope everything can be fine.

Shit, this the roughly the same thing that happened to BT back around 2001.

I can't donate as I am unemployed, but I hope he manages to get back on his feet and acquire new gear! I see that one of the fundraisers appears to have been successful, so that's great!

What the hell?! Why would anyone break into his house? Has he have any enemies or what? What kind of people do such things. Hope he/they die in hell
or at the very least suffer intensely for quite a bit and feel really, really guilty and sorry afterwards.

Damn that sucks I have had my house broken into myself so I know how it feels. Over here they release them out on bail. I hope he had security cameras to catch those people.

How much does he need to raise? I am only asking because the initial target 2,000 pounds.

Heartbreaking stuff - must be the worst nightmare of a producer to lose historial musical stuff - i had a taste of it last week when i got my Youtube channel hacked - you feel violated and part of your life is taken.

Hope Peter stays strong and gets most of his stuff back....why would people destroy stuff though? Absolute scum...

Chin up Peter. The trance community is behind you and you will come back stronger, with great new music and memories on the horizon. You are one of my most cherished producers in todays scene.

I have to give my two cents about this .

Having bleach poured onto his clothes and his passport ripped apart... That's not a normal burglary, that is quite clearly a targeted personal attack, carried out by someone who's familiar with Peter... Also, judging from how the attack seems to be focused around Peter's music and DJ equipment, AND personal documents, the person is likely coming from the Trance scene. 👀

Else, for whom would it matter, Trance producers are not pop stars.

Trance is not popular. Peter's success mattered to the attacker, so the guy must be familiar with the Trance producer/DJ scene...

Even more important, than the donations, is to find the person who did it and make them pay for it.
High chances that the guy isn't living far from Peter's house.


Edit: Pouring bleach onto one's clothes sounds like something a woman would do.
