Rock Solid Allstars - What God Has Chosen
Defected
The light has finally shone on this spoken word treat after laying in the vaults at Defected for nearly 3 years. Based on a MJB single this heavy weight club track is a major refreshment from the over blown bellowing preacher tracks that are no longer hitting the mark. Its all about Free Range Recordings boss Jimpster though as he rolls out a remix of stunning proportions, the production that surrounds the sublime voice is instant, epic in fact without clouding the track with too much studio trickery. A driving analogue bassline and pulsing chords all ensure main room devastation is simply inevitable.
Hector Romero, David Morales, JJK, Rodamaal, Soul Central, Louie Vega ALL certified Miami as conquered with this, Ibiza is next!

PETE DOYLE2005 saw a new beginning for DJ Pete Doyle.From spinning an eclectic mix of funk, disco and early house to a handful of mates in a bedroom loft aged 16 and starting his own Pirate radio Station in Kent GAMMA FM,The 17-year Pete Doyle story is a fascinating one.His genuine love for all things tuff and funky has seen him slug his record boxes not only up and down the UK but laterally, all over the world, visiting over 30 different countries during an extremely eventful roller coaster career.
Since those humble beginnings hed gone on to be resident at a bar DJ Magazine once called The Best Bar In Ibiza. Pete has performed to over 50,000 people at a rave in Miami Beach Florida, produced and remixed countless hit records, worked for some of the UKs most respected dance labels and even spun at a lavish private party for a Dexter Wong Fashion Show.
Ask him today and hell say that becoming a regular feature on the Global Club Circuit is his greatest achievement to date: getting to spin the music he loves on a world stage quality tuff, funky, vocal tribal tinged house with a distinctly American flavor. Music from labels such as, Defected, Fluential, Sondos, Underwater, Harlem Trax, Ocean Traxx, Siesta and Rock Solid Productions, not to mention playing frequently alongside the djs he rates highly: Mr. Pink, Erick Morillo, Richard F, Pound Boys, Audiowhores, Steve Lawler, Sasha, Nic Fanciulli, Armand van Helden, Soul Avengerz, Sneak, Derrick Carter, Sandy Rivera, Roger Sanchez, DJ Pippi, Dimitri From Paris, Bob Sinclar amongst so many others.
Rewind a bit. The story starts in 1992 when Pete leaves University in Kent and not fancying jumping straight into a life working as an arhitectual technician, decides to start a club night that would turn his life on its head Happiness
As that solid reputation built through his residency, Pete was soon to become a well-known face on the UK club network, chalking off a vast array of the countrys finer nights in almost every major town or city in Britain. A quick cross section of the clubs hes played here in the UK takes in The Tunnel (Glasgow), Golden (Stoke), Discotecca, Passion (Coalville), Progress (Derby), Sugar Shack (Middlesborough), Evissa (Newcastle) Lakota (Bristol), Hidden, Blend (Derby), Moneypennys (Birmingham), Milk, Thompsons Garage, (Belfast), The Met (Armagh), The Network Club (Belfast), 2 Risqué (Manchester), Society, The Aquarium, The 051Club (Liverpool), Route (Colchester), Club Class, (Maidstone) The Loft (Maidstone, Kent) Tabu (Great Yarmouth), The Summit (Wisbech) The Zap (Brighton) not to mention a whole host of Londons best nights - Ministry of Sound, London Calling, Milk n 2 Sugars, City Loud, The Cross, Clockwork Orange, Hanover Grand, The End, Serious/Dusted at both The Cross and Pacha-London and The Gallery all witnessing his trademark slick soulful tuff funky house mix at one time or another.
With the UK all but covered, Pete turned his attentions overseas. His sense of wanderlust first saw him making forays to Ireland, then Mainland Europe, then North America, The Far East and now Australia. Indeed just as he can boast playing the finest clubs in the UK, he can also lay claim to having spun at some of the best clubs the world has to offer too: from The POD and Red Box (Dublin) to Backroom, 12SI, Liquid, Disco and Movement (Kuala Lumpur), Manumission, Pacha, El Divino, Es Paradise, Priviledge, Summon & Eden (Ibiza) to (Vancouver), Carpas Del Cel (Barcelona) to Orange (Penang), Pravda and D! Club (Switzerland) to Axis, Generator & Tremors (Malta), Liqwid, Zoës & BJs (Bahrain) Nautilus Club (Latvia) to Castle Club, Mythology (Ayia Napa) to Retro Club & Embassy (Jakarta), Centro 360 (Singapore), Ministry Of Sound (Bangkok), Babylon (Russia) to Gecko (Koh Samui) - the list goes on and on and on... A feat few of his Kentish countrymen can come anywhere close to matching.
Pete is no stranger to the recording studio either. In 6 years, he clocked up over a hundred remix and production credits working for a vast array of blue chip labels: Positiva, Edel, AM:PM, Defected, Multiply, East West, NEO, V:C and Xtravaganza are just a few that come to mind, And more recently having completed remixes for his own Rock Solid Productions label as well as Steve Lawlers Harlem label, Milo Records, Serious Records and Champion Records.
More recently Pete has also had major success with signing his collaboration project SOULIZM/Solid Soul Productions to rising UK label SuSu. He is also one third of CAROUSEL who again are on the up with their funky brand of feel good US/Vocal House having just signed their Wanted track to Soulfuric Records as well as starting his own new solo pseudonym THE GIFT OF LIFE with a track forthcoming on Solid Soul Productions called Just Cant Give It Up with a lot of majors sniffing around it.
Defected Records are the latest label to take one of Petes slick productions, in the guise of THE ROCK SOLID ALLSTARS -What God Has Chosenbeen played by everyone from Lawler, Sasha, Tong, Roger Sanchez, Sandi Rivera and Defecteds own Simon Dunmore.Pete has also got his Phil Collins inspired track KENTISH MAN Easy Lover signed to the latest Hed Kandi comp and signed it to various territories throughout the worldthis single IS set to do BIG things. As well as signing on a track to BIG LOVEPete's past has seen him take a position at CLUB ON magazine where he added yet another string to his bow by becoming a Director for their DJ Agency, looking after the residents of clublands well established nights. Soon his work at Club On would attract others who would tempt him elsewhere and before long he was heading to Pinnacle Records where he became their National Accounts Label Manager.He had a busy time while at Pinnacle. He was responsible for promoting the companies output of DJs, producers and dance compilation albums, however, as fun a time as he was having at Pinnacle, it wasnt long before he was in demand somewhere else once more.In July 2002 Pete made a new home in his office at
Solid Soul Productions, - running his label, from all the day to day duties and organizing his busy world schedule of playing music across the globe and finding time to produce, remix and even manage some of his artistes that are signed to his label.He's a firm believer in the concept of the Global Dancefloor, so come any Friday or Saturday night, youre just as likely to find him popping up in Toronto or Taipei, as you are Leeds or Liverpool. All in all, not a bad result for someone for started DJing at 17 in their bedroom just outside Maidstone, Kent.Much of Petes success boils down to his down to earth approach to work. There isnt a bad word to say about this DJ. His music style is versatile in every sense of the word, adapting to musical changes and audiences accordingly.A new phase in Petes career has begun to unfold, and demand for him internationally is high. The future of this underground DJ is set in stone and the forthcoming year will be his best yet.Be a part of the Pete Doyle experience [email protected]
