East St Louis Players
Artist: East St Louis Players
Genre: House
Country: USA

The East St Louis Players duo of Don Tinsley and Bernard Jones first teamed up in 2006 and each achieved solo success in house circles, before bringing their respective skills to the studio to create a blend of deep house with live musical elements.

Don Tinsley - The seasoned, enigmatic character:
Don Tinsley started out DJing around St Louis in 1988 and soon collaborated with friends on the 84 Glyde project, who performed headline live shows around the city.  After the band went their separate ways Don began a solo career in house under his own name and also formed Urban Jazz Naturals with three other musicians.  Their track ‘How Can I?’ became an underground house classic after being signed to Gallery Music, the label run by veteran producer JT Donaldson, who also remixed the track.

Bernard Jones - The talented new-comer, with an animated personality:
Bernard Jones’ musical journey started at the age of five, when his Grandmother insisted on his classical training in piano.  He learned of the art of DJing through local DJs and first started experimenting in producing house in 2000.  With a few releases under his belt for labels including Kolour and Funkfield in the US, Bernard’s reputation is starting to grow.  Recently he has paired up with childhood friend and vocalist Brendan Woodard aka Aren B, who was a finalist on the American Idol TV series.  Together the pair have created some vocal gems, the first of which will see the light of day on Lost My Dog in October.

Between Don and Bernard there is a natural connection that is based on friendship and a mutual passion for music.  “We just know each other that well… in the DJ scene we always looked to each other for the hot sounds in house.  It’s no different in the studio, we just know what we like and how to support each other’s talents.”

Pete Dafeet
Artist: Pete Dafeet
Genre: House
Country: United Kingdom

Pete Dafeet is a 25 year old deep house producer and co-owner of Lost My Dog Records, who started DJing in the late 90s after messing around with his cousin's decks. Learning the basics of a computer sequencer in 2003, Pete started producing deep, rhythmic house and quickly caught the eye of northern house heavyweights Shaboom who put him to work on remixing duties. In the 5 years and 30 odd releases since, Pete has sold over 20,000 records and has released and remixed on Robsoul, Bosh, Shaboom, and Toolroom; music that's been widely supported from across the spectrum of house music - Mark Farina, Danny Tenaglia, X-Press 2, Laurent Garnier and Roger Sanchez have all supported Pete's music.

Starting a label was a natural progression, and in 2004 Pete set up Lost My Dog with Ian Straker and Nagajan Modhwadia. In the 25 releases since, Lost My Dog has established itself as one of the UK's leading deep house labels - Jay Tripwire, Fred Everything and Greenskeepers have all featured, and the label was listed in iDJ as one of the "100 Reason's Why Dance Music Still Rules".

Pete's sideline is Southside Shuffle, which he started as a means to promote music from young, like minded producers. Having returned in 2008 after a two year hiatus, Southside Shuffle showcases fresh and innovative music from around the world, specialising in deep house and electronic grooves.

Rhythm Plate
Artist: Rhythm Plate
Genre: House
Country: United Kingdom

Rhythm Plate consist of Matt Rhythm and Ant Plate who hail from the beautifully backward peak district town of Matlock. They first met at school where it quickly became apparent that they had the same make of orthopaedic shoe, meaning they quite literally got off on the right foot. This, combined with their mutual love of shoplifting, warm real ale and bad puns meant that they were soon finalising a plan for musical stardom.

Their recording career initially began in Plate's parents caravan in Bridlington (motto: if the music's rockin', don't bother knockin') but they soon outgrew this and moved into a multi purpose, state of the art allotment shed nearer home.

Their reputation as musical visionaries soon began to spread due to their infamous 'Derbyshire cubs and brownies DJ tour' which culminated in an all-dayer at Starkholmes village hall. This fact alone would have made the front page of the Matlock Miracle Newspaper were it not for one young raver drinking too much kia-ora and having to be stomach pumped. Early attempts at pop stardom were hampered by their crippling tourettes syndrome, however an intensive course of hypnotherapy soon sorted this problem out. The only problem is that now whenever they hear a certain Todd Terry hi-hat pattern they have a full on relapse.

After conquering the bourgeoning pub scene in Matlock these boompty bumpkins decided to think a bit bigger - releasing on such heavyweights as Mantis, Winding Road, DiY, Lost My Dog, Bluem, Flat & Round and Procreation. As well as this they have also remixed/ruined tunes by respected artists such as Atjazz, Inland Knights, Hanna, BRS, Brooks and Pete Dafeet.

These productions have been well received occasionally appearing on BBC Radio 1 and compilations such as Groove Armada 'Another Late Night', Ministry of Sound 'Chillout Ibiza', Hed Kandi 'Beach House 2' and also on the TV show 'CSI Miami' despite the fact that all of them are recorded at 126bpm and blatantly use the same kick drum.

They have also even started a monthly deep house club night DETUNE in Chesterfield of all places, which is still going strong four years later: quite amazing when you hear some of the drivel they play.

Should the need arise they also DJ, using the Transpeak bus service to carry their much sought after cassette single collection to gigs. Expect house, disco, funk, soul, waltz and whatever else they can get from charity shops.

At present Plate sells deep house insurance and Rhythm is a dancer.
