One of Lost My Dog’s new signings from 2009 has ‘done a Clarke Kent’ and comes spinning out of the proverbial telephone booth as Roland Nights in 2010. Roland Nights penned three original tracks and two remixes for LMD last year under his Danny Stott name and felt the time was right to take things in a new direction. So far it’s working well as Roland has released a stunning EP and remixed Tom Middleton for Urbantorque, as well as remixing Jay West for Lost My Dog. The year ahead is looking bright for the Burnley based producer with several more projects in the pipeline.
‘Phazz’ comes backed with remixes from Vernon & DaCosta and tONKPROJECT, as well as more familiar Lost My Dog contributors Dominic Martin, Peckos and Artie Flexs. The Vernon & DaCosta remix was included on the label’s recent Miami Sampler and received huge support, including most notably from Mark Farina with whom it has become a DJ set staple.
Vernon & DaCosta are the Belgian duo who never fail to bump the dancefloor with their own blend of deep, funky house that has appeared on labels including Om, Robsoul, Aroma and Blockhead.
tONKPROJECT has made a name for himself over the past 12 months with his killer grooves appearing on standout releases for Urbantorque, Elevation, Behaviors and Proton.
Dominic Martin is currently riding high as his ‘East Glasgow Deep EP’ for Lost My Dog is causing damage with the likes of Jimpster, Jay Tripwire, Nathan Coles and DJ Heather. Releases for Tronicsole, Nordic Trax, Guesthouse and So Sound are also in heavy rotation.
Young Belgian producer Peckos released two EPs and a remix for Lost My Dog in 2009, the highlights being a 5/5 ‘Essential Release’ review from DMC Update, charting in German dance mag DeBug and receiving a chart placing from house legend Tony Humphries which led ‘Sensual Strawberry Soda’ to take off on download store Traxsource. This is his second remix for LMD in 2010 and comes ahead of a new EP in the summer.
Like Danny Stott/Roland Nights and Peckos, Artie Flexs was another new discovery for Lost My Dog in 2009. Two EPs (one of which received Mixmag’s ‘Tune Of The Month’ award) and a remix of Latenight Society paved the way for his debut full length project ‘The Journey’ in January 2010.
