Peter van Hal - In Remembrance of Jerry

I got introduced to Jerry somewhere around 1997 probably. I knew Remco and he was the one who introduced me to Jerry at the infamous Nighttown venue in Rotterdam. We hit it off immediately as we soon found out we shared the same passion for music. Jerry made a series of tapes called “The Groove Collection”which really spoke to me on many musical levels. It was also around that time that I became the booker of Extrema and because of that I got involved on a deeper level in the musicscene in Holland. Late 1999 I released my first label, Deep records where I displayed a outspoke taste for what was called Progressive Housemusic. Jerry was in many ways involved in that. Whenever I got send something interesting by a producer he would be the first I would go to for advice as his taste of music was impeccable. One label became two, and two became more over the later years and always there would be Jerry to go to. Jerry was not a man of many words and somethimes we could spend an hour in the same room without talking and let the music do it for us. I remember holidays on Ibiza where we would rent a big villa with our friends and endulge ourselves in beach and nightlife. Great times! One day he came to me as he wanted to start his own label also so I helped him setting The Groove Collection up. And when it was time for me to go and leave the musicscene it was Jerry who continued my labels, who else? This mix is pretty much an oldskool mix. A collection of records that ment a lot for jerry and myself. Some of the records come from my own labels, or Jerry’s. By no means I see myself as a dj. Jerry was one and a damn good one. But for this mix it is not really important as this month it is already 4 years ago since Jerry left us, way too early. Think of him quite often and with great pleasure, hope you do the same if you happened to know him. Enjoy Life!
