YSE aka Ant Plate is one half of deep house superstar combo Rhythm Plate. Hailing from the beautifully backward peak district town of Matlock, in Derbyshire, Plate constantly varies in age and when not making music sells deep house insurance. Rhythm Plate began recording their efforts on a borrowed 8-track tape player down in the local bus station. After conquering the bourgeoning village hall/pub scene in Matlock they set their sights on taking over the Midlands through collaborations with Mantis, DiY, Winding Road, Flat & Round and Procreation, in the process finding the transpeak bus service a particularly useful way of getting to gigs. Ambitions for world domination soon followed; the duo releasing material on record labels "not from 'round 'ere" such as San Diego's Bluem, San Francisco's Roam and Portland's Losofono (LSF). Now heading back to their Midland's roots, YSE's release on Lost My Dog is his first solo outing and demonstrates a remarkable talent.
Not Wot You Got is superbly crafted midlands house with tight crunching beats and bouncing bass wrapped around a soul funk backbone, brought to the forefront in a slow motion breakdown which gives the track real character . Myna Music's Da Sunlounge delivers a no nonsense jacking dub which has to be heard loud to be fully appreciated: perfect for the small hours, a deep bassline and thumping kick drive the track along. An exciting transatlantic link up between Uni.form's Jake Childs and Lost My Dog's Pete Dafeet culminates in a slower tempo B side mix with swinging beats, bubbling bass and intricate keys and synths. The package is completed by a second YSE original; Ant displays another side to his sound in “Yeah I Tell Yer”, a punching bass-led slab of fun jacking house with brilliantly interesting sounds and possibly the funniest intro ever to grace wax.
Magazine Reviews
IDJ - Jan 2006 4/5 *Recommended*
More goodness from Lost My Dog, this time in the form of Ant Plate's deliciously old skool East Midlands deep house. 'Not Wot You Got' sounds like what you'd get if you crossed Drop Music-style beats with the sort of sweet spaciness once favoured by Plate's previous employers, Mantis Recordings - only with a mad hip hop breakdown in the middle. Tasty. Groovier still is Jake Childs & Pete Dafeet's flipside rework, which fixes a lovely old skool Chicago B-line to killer sci-fi synths for maximum cosmic raving. Set those phasers to fun! (MA)
DJ Mag - Jan 2006 4/5
Lost My Dog are really doing it for me at the moment, they release vibrant house music with balls of steel and 'Not Wot You Got' is no exception. The original version has distinctive Nottingham flavours percolating away, as well as little P-funk drum fills. This all makes sense once the track breaks down into a slow funk groove, before bursting into deeper house mode once again. Da Sunlounge's 'Late Nite Dub' is very tracky, stripped down to beats and bass with minimal interruption from some whistling keys. Jake Childs and Pete Dafeet keep the simple but effective groove attitude going, with slow, dotted bass stabs plodding over a raw, chugging groove. Raw and raunchy underground house. (YH)
Night Magazine - Feb 2006 4/4
Another month, another LMD release & this time it's Matlock's finest house man, Rhythm Plate. The original mix is sublime deep house exactly as it should be done - spaced out beats, a heavy bassline & a solid groove; just perfect. Da Sunlounge goes into Inland Knights territory & sounds great for it, following the main bassline & smoothing the groove out around it, a very worthy mix to compliment the original. Jake Childs & Pete Dafeet turn out a genius slab of electronic house, wobbly synths riding a low-end bass you could walk on. Finally the techy "Yeah A Tell Yer" rounds of another brilliant LMD release. (AB)
