    For vinyl release number 22 (Release Date: 29th September

    2008), Lost My Dog turn to a brand new American

    production partnership for the debut EP from the East St Louis

    Players. The duo of Don Tinsley and Bernard Jones

    come from their Midwestern namesake St Louis and first teamed up

    in 2006. The pair have each had success as solo artists and together

    they have brought their respective skills to the studio to create a

    blend of deep house with live musical elements.

    The Players provide two original tracks ëAlways On My Mindí

    and ëHustliní. The former comes in two mixes, a stripped back

    version and the Jon Milsom Horn Mix, where their close friend

    Milsom adds a live trumpet. The latter is remixed by deep house

    stalwarts Inland Knights. The duo of Laurence Richie and Andy

    Riley are well known for over a decade of music and helped define

    the UK ëMidlandsí house sound thanks to releases on their own Drop

    Music label and other leading imprints such as NRK, 2020 Vision,

    Amenti, SoSound and Doubledown.

    Behind The Scenes Footage

    [size=16]So who are the East St Louis Players?

    The seasoned, enigmatic character:

    Don Tinsley started out DJing around St. Louis in 1988. After finding

    a old Roland drum machine and synthesizer at a pawn shop Don

    collaborated with a local trip hop duo to form the dub-house project

    84 Glyde. After numerous live shows at underground parties and

    clubs

    the band went their separate ways. Shortly there after Don meet up

    with a local swing band and formed the Urban Jazz Naturals. The

    bands

    debut track ‘How Can I?’ became an underground house classic,

    receiving closing track credits from countless industry heavyweights.

    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. ìWe just know each

    other that wellÖ in the DJ scene we always looked to each other for

    the hot sounds in house. Itís no different in the studio, we just know

    what we like and how to support each otherís talents.î
