not a fan of traditional bios.

from montreal but relocated to London to be more in the european music markets.
i like making house music with abelton and logic pro 9.
i like playing with all sorts of toys and props when i'm djing with my partner anstascia
... we call ourselves blond:ish, & we love to disprove the stereotype. 
i like playing pranks on people.  
we want to be known for producing quality music not pigeonholed to any genre. 
you can find our releases out on Mile End, Hi-Bias, & London Music right now.
we play with traktor on 2 x1's.  we used to play vinyl then we moved to cds, now we use (cough...ugh) the sync button
which allows us to go nuts on the creative side and mix with all sorts of loops and tools that we make on
plane rides over to our gigs.



It's House Music. Just House.
If it sounds like, Nu-Disco, Indie, Deep, Tech or whatever else to you...I'm cool with that too.
Shall we listen now?

	
Big room sounds: big league DJ. During short but precision formed career Richard Dinsdale has achieved more than many can muster in a whole lifetime.

Talent spotted by Seb Fontaine, he sharpened his DJ skills at London’s long-missed notorious nightspot The Cross. Headhunted by Ministry Of Sound, his residency taught him the winning formula for grooves that chatter an international patter. A card carrying member of Mark Knight’s mighty Toolroom Records stable, his passport and dancefloors were both stamped heartily with approval no more than two years after his first release on Kinky Vinyl. Even Fatboy Slim has played a part, heralding a young Richard as a key peaktime weapon merchant within just a handful of releases.

Back to the future and the leagues are getting bigger. With nine weeks at number one on the Beatport house chart this spring, we’re talking Premiership. ‘DJ You Got My Love’ has been the ultimate disco dance injection 2011 so urgently needed, racking up Dinsdale airplay with all the appropriate headliners. And the goals keep coming... Get ready for remixes on Strictly Rhythm, big bombs on Spinnin’ and Toolroom Knights and collaborations with fellow influential players Byron Stingily and D Ramirez.

Sabre tooth but sophisticated, his calling card has been delivered to all corners from Kent to Korea. Armed with polished sound that conjures up memories of Morillo when Subliminal was a by-word for party perfection (and big rooms meant big feelings and even bigger moments), Richard’s sitting at the controls more confidently than ever before. Clattering percussion, spiked hooks, unpredictable instrumental flares and insatiable hip-swinging grooves, like Riva’s rustic funk or Angello’s dancefloor drama, he unites traditional house vibes with a razor sharp 21st century production for timeless dancefloor moments.

Evidence of this vibrant house flavour is everywhere, from the international dancefloors he commands to your very own TV set. His track ‘Boom Boom’ has just been signed by Fox TV and last year his music became the soundtrack to promote South Africa during the world cup... Talk about household name.

Need more evidence? Ask Cathy Guetta, she demanded his Toolroom smasher ‘Feel Like Dancing’ for her ‘Unighted’ mix last year. You can ask Ibizan carnival maestro Wally Lopez, too. Rubbing roster shoulders with fellow next gen headliners Rene Amez and Avicii, Richard is now signed to Wally’s Factomania agency and the pair are plotting a sizzling 2011 summer on the White Isle and beyond. They’re plotting in the studio, too; check the lavish Latino ‘La La Track’, a hooky vocal roller that oozes slinky bass, it packs a potent punch as potency and power as Tim Deluxe’s ‘It Just Won’t Do’.

Yes, things are most definitely getting bigger... And bigger. In the time between cooking up grooves for labels such as Hotfingers, 303 Lovers, Flamingo, Toolroom and Ministry Of Sound, he’s plotting the next step in Dinsdale dancefloor domination: Tanzanite Records. A joint partnership with his brother Simon, Richard is now writing a new chapter and creating his own distinctive brand. A brand where he can fine tune his A&R abilities and help develop emerging artists such as Jeremy Joshua and Alex Topspin & Dmit Kitz. With its striking blue motif and meticulous musical motive, the label also boasts the presence of Wally Lopez, Hook N Sling and chart busters Sam Obernik and Paul Harris. And, as time goes by they’ll be taking their rough glitter and heads down glamour to clubs across the globe. With Richard’s previous success with Ministry Of Sound and Toolroom, the potential for Tanzanite is as clear as his music...

Big room sounds: big room plans. Show Richard Dinsdale some love.
