He was also behind the tribal house record label Star 69 and was a frequent producer of the label's releases.
Rauhofer was a popular DJ who spun throughout the United States. He was the former resident DJ at the weekly gay dance night held at the Roxy in New York, which closed its doors in 2007. Rauhofer was formerly the resident DJ of the gay dance party called "Work". His party was held weekly at the Stereo nightclub in New York until March 3, 2008, when the City invoked eminent domain and acquired the building. "Work" was a monthly event, despite lacking a permanent venue. Rauhofer was mostly known for spinning tribal house and continued to play many gay circuit party events, and was scheduled to play the ultimate events (White Party Palm Springs and One Mighty Weekend's Magic Journeys at Arabian Nights) prior to his falling ill in February 2013. Memorial services were held from coast to coast (including Miami and New York) and special events honoring Rauhofer continued into the summer of 2013. Peter Rauhofer (under the moniker Club 69 with Georg O. Luksch) won the Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Remixer of the Year for his remixes of Madonna "Nothing Really Matters", Cher "Believe", Whitney Houston "It´s Not Right But It´s OK", Everything but the Girl "Five Fathoms", Donna Summer "I Will Go With You".
