Pete Dafeet is back on his own label Lost My Dog with new original material after a break of over 12 months.  ‘94’ is classic Dafeet, driving deep house, and comes backed by remixes from Andrew Phelan & Origami (warped bassline and whistling action!), new LMD signing Danny Stott (classic sounding deepness) and rising Swedish star Johan ELG (hypnotic deep building groove).

Pete Dafeet is back on his own label Lost My Dog with new original material after a break of over 12 months.  ‘94’ is classic Dafeet, driving deep house, and comes backed by remixes from Andrew Phelan & Origami (warped bassline and whistling action!), new LMD signing Danny Stott (classic sounding deepness) and rising Swedish star Johan ELG (hypnotic deep building groove).

Since the release of ‘Lungs’ for Lost My Dog back in November 2007, Pete Dafeet has been concentrating on resurrecting his Southside Shuffle label including some fine EPs from Jay Tripwire, Harold Heath and Pete himself.  He has also released two records with US label Headtunes, one of which was ranked in Juno Records’ ‘Best of 2008 Deep House’, and turned out several remixes.  His remix of ‘Do It Like This’ by Jake Island on Toolroom is currently causing a stir with strong reviews and DJ support.

Based out of San Francisco’s famed Moulton Studios complex, Andrew Phelan & Origami have made a name for themselves in the international house community with their mix of funk and tech based sounds built around a variety of live instrumentation and vocals.  Their work can be heard in collaborations with various musicians and vocalists such as Sen-Sei, Brown, and Audio Angel.  The duo have released music with labels including Amenti, Drop Music, Eight-Tracks and So Sound amongst others, but it is their recent outings on Phelan’s own Prismatic Tracks that sent the dog sniffing and snapping them up for this dirty-basslined Claude VonStroke-styled remix.

Danny Stott caught the attention of Lost My Dog after a tip off from 3am’s Al Bradley.  After checking out other great releases on New Era and Ambiosphere (the labels run by Tony Thomas), Grouper Recordings and Dutchie, LMD decided it was time to get in on the act and signed 2 EPs from Stott, the first of which ‘Circuits’ will be released in March.  Stott’s remix here is further evidence of a sound which is turning the heads of many; 2009 will also see releases on Urban Torque and Night Drive Music.

Johan ELG rounds off the package.  Having released his first ever EP on Pete Dafeet’s Southside Shuffle in 2008, his discography now also includes work for respected label Low Pressings.  Born in Stockholm, Johan’s passion for music developed rather early.  He started drumming at the tender age of 10 and became something of young (and Swedish) Dave Grohl - playing in three bands simultaneously.  His appreciation for music grew as he did, and after five well spent years traveling the world, Johan decided to relocate down under and upped sticks to Melbourne.  After getting used to living upside down Johan started producing music, completed an Audio Engineering degree, and became known in his locale for his flawless sets spinning House, Techno, Hip Hop, and Jazz.
