Additional release info:


Original Deep House pioneer, Pete Dafeet unleashes the first single, 'Wife', taken from his highly anticipated debut album 'The Root, The Soul', dropping in June. Forthcoming on his own Lost My Dog Records, 'Wife' is an exultant slab of piano House, loaded with a hook laced with early 90's Balearic Ibizan vibes and screams Summer! Nacho Marco?s remix adds steel to the original?s splendour as TR-303 and 909 joining forces to drive energy levels skywards. The package also features the album title track 'The Root, The Soul', which comes drizzled with delicious Dafeet synthology and a dreamy vocal that glides over a groovy House beat.



?I recorded 'Wife' in the run up to my wedding in 2013. It?s a feel-good anthem and will forever remind me of a blissful, carefree Summer. The release has been a long time coming but it?s great to finally get it out there!" - Pete Dafeet



One way or another 2015 will be a momentous year for Pete Dafeet. His label Lost My Dog ? started in 2005 with friends Ian Straker and Najan Ward - will celebrate 10 years in business, and will then issue its final release: Pete?s debut studio album 'The Root, The Soul'.



Having DJ'd since his mid-teens, Pete's early forays into production as a 20 year old were catching the eye of Yousef, Lottie and Blakkat, while Najan owned the local record shop and employed Ian as a part-time buyer. The three put their heads together and Lost My Dog was born. In the decade since, Lost My Dog has matured into one of the UK's leading Deep House imprints with AtJazz, Ian Pooley and Robert Owens featured on releases and House pioneers including Laurent Garnier, Danny Krivit, Norman Jay MBE, DJ T, Huxley and Maya Jane Coles, among others, have championed the label. In keeping with LMD, Pete's own productions have also made a critical impact. iDJ Magazine tipped the chord-heavy 'In Flux' as a contender for deep house record of the year in 2011, while 2012 saw repeat plays for 'Hit ?Em Up' on Pete Tong (BBCR1) and Chicago?s 5 Magazine lauding the left-of-centre 'Stutter' as "deviously addictive" in its 10/10 review. As for DJing, Pete has performed everywhere from China, UAE, Argentina and Peru, while his first mix CD 5 Years and 'Still Looking' was named compilation of the month by Mixmag and ranked by DJ Mag as one of 2010?s finest 30.



'The Root, The Soul' is the fulfilling of Pete?s long held ambition to write a long-player. Recorded during a year that saw him engaged and married, it?s a living memory of a very happy time - and has already found fans in Chez Damier, Ian Pooley and Charles Webster. The decision to close Lost My Dog after a decade of success was ? in truth ? a relatively easy one. 10 years is a long time, the lads are scattered across the UK and as with most 30-somethings, priorities have changed. The Root, The Soul will be a fitting epitaph for 10 very happy years.



Valencia born and bred, Nacho Marco is one of Spain's most respected DJs and producers, and a rising star on the international scene thanks to recent blockbuster releases on Ovum, Classic, and We Play House. Nacho's music ranges from warm, harmonious nu-disco all the way through to raw, acid-led techno. He's recorded for Freerange, Plastic City, and Pacha, remixing Shakira and Groove Armada and is a favourite of Laurent Garnier and John Digweed. Nacho's performed at some of Europe's top clubs and festivals, including Sonar and Space, Ibiza. His own label, Loudeast Records, boasts an enviable roster including Fred Everything, KiNK and Owain K. Nacho first hooked up with Lost My Dog back in 2009 remixing Pete Dafeet's 'Alto', returning a year later to deliver a stripped back take on Bang Bang's 'Susan Cries'. The label are delighted to have such a good friend back on board to remix the first single from Pete Dafeet's forthcoming album, 'The Root, The Soul'.

If obscure is your thing then "Rainbow" is where is at off this package.A lovely downtempo piece with some house music elements and good lyrics to match,this is our pick off this release.Meanwhile Kung Fu Jesus is a downtempo funky number with a touch of rock n soul.Drop it in your set IF YOU DARE !

Good stuff !



Additional relese info:

Rubber Taxi Records are proud to present the first single on their label of Kung Fu Jesus, aka Craig Snape. Craig was once the lead singer of the popular but now defunct band Genaro. Craig delivers a sun soaked piece of indie pop in the form of Rainbow Road. His lush harmonies and positive light inspired lyrics combine to create an instantly catchy sing-along and uplifting vibe. The B side Golden One is a slightly more down tempo affair but none the less as uplifting and well crafted as the lead track Rainbow Road. All in all his colourful harmonies and powerful message combine to create indie pop of a melodious and positive nature. Just what the doctor ordered.



Artist bio and info:
Biography


Craig Snape aka kung Fu Jesus comes from Lanark in Scotland. To say he is a singer songwriter is an understatement as he plays all the instruments on his
tracks and does all his own backing vocals. This young man is the complete
artist. A prolific writer who fuses classic rock n roll with world rhythms and
Beach Boy inspired harmonies, combined with prophetic lyrics covering social
injustice, the field of love and spiritual ideology. It really wouldn't be
wrong to call him a Modern day Dylan although at Rubber Taxi we call him
The Dark Beach Boy !!! Oh yeah and the songs. It's been a while since you will have heard such great direct and hook laden instantly catchy and
uplifting songs. This is sublime stuff. If you want to be taken on a trip around your soul then get ready for his debut album which will be released on Rubber Taxi this year. Don't say we didn't tell you.
