Peter Slaghuis

Peter Slaghuis

Peter Slaghuis (21 August 1961, Rijswijk - 5 September 1991) was a Dutch DJ, producer and remixer, whose work was mostly released under the name Hithouse (a literal translation of his last name —"slag", a hit, a beat; and "huis", house). He was a figure in the European dance music scene in the 1980s, producing popular remixes of various hits (most notably the "Long Vocal Dutch Mix" of "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz). With the arrival of house music in Europe, Slaghuis took up the pseudonym "Hithouse" and began using his sampling techniques in this field. His best-known work, "Jack To the Sound of the Underground", reached #14 on the UK charts in 1988. His next few works did not attain the same level of success. Slaghuis' career was cut short by his death in a car accident in 1991.

Peter Slaghuis was part of the "Video Kids" group, which released the song "Woodpeckers from Space" in 1985, featuring Peter Slaghuis in the video.
