Born in Minneapolis and raised in the birthplace of the underground music movement, Detroit, Chris Clark better known as “DEEP C” worldwide, started his love affair with music in 1979 at only 7 years old. Little did Chris know that his first record collection would take him to producing several hit releases with "Wamdue" and “Tigerhook Corporation", and around the globe holding residencies at the best clubs in the world.

His illustrious DJ career started in 1990 in Detroit, later moving to Atlanta where he would go on to meet co-founders of " Wamdue", Chris Brann and Chris Udoh in 1993. “Wamdue" and later, "Tigerhook" would go on a globetrotting, 8 year run, dropping hit after hit, that would lead DEEP C to his epic international and national residencies at FABRIC (London, England), Smart Bar (Chicago), KGB-Mission (Miami), Nomenclature (Atlanta), Viper Room (L.A.), and Tresor (Berlin, Germany). In Philadelphia, Chris had one of the longest running House weeklies (7 years) at the renowned Soma that hosted local and international guests and pushed the envelope of the domestic music scene.

Having remixed a variety of cutting edge artists and being remixed by well respected peers, Deep C finds himself starting Bodega Soundworks, a record label that will promote the sound that Bodega Bar, (where Deep C is entertainment director, in Midtown Village, an exotic, multi-genre infused night life spectacle that features everything from the sounds of Ibiza’s Buddha Bar to house classics, future classics, worldly influences and otherworldly soundscapes) will create for years to come.

Worship Recordings was established in the summer of 1998 in Philadelphia by Rob Paine. The concept was simple at first: they just wanted to put out their own music their own way. After the first few releases it became clear that they had dropped in on a genre of house music that has slowly but surely come to fruition, now being labeled by the massive as "dub house". They knew they were not the first to use the influence of Jamaican reggae music as a foundation for their house productions, but they definitely wanted to continue to push it to new heights in both the house community and progressive reggae scene. 

What started out as an in-house production label, Worship soon started to sign like- minded artists such as: Garth, Chris Udoh, Pete Moss, Solomonic Sound, Hakan Lidbo, Jay Tripwire and Grant Dell- just to name a few. Some Worship releases are more dub than house and vice versa - but all releases are pure quality. From the music’s production quality to the legendary KLH art work and right down to the packaging, Worship Recordings is never slacking. They continue to explore new methods of using reggae and house music side by side to reach lovers of both sounds and to unite them in the dance hall as ONE.

Rob Paine's roots run deep. From the moment he heard the deep dubby sounds of Reggae as just a youth he knew he had found his sound. His love for the heavy Reggae sounds grew into a forward movement and soon took on a life of it's own by using the foundation of reggae music as his center piece for all his house & deep techno productions. In 1993 Rob began DJ'ing and throwing events with his crew, "Circle Productions", who were responsible for the most popular parties and weekly club nights in Philadelphia throughout the 90's. During this time Rob started producing a broad range of reggae and reggae influenced music including house, deep techno, broken beat, dub, and down-tempo. His unique sounds were soon being released on labels like Large, Tango, Shaboom & Greyhound just to name a few. Following the success of those tracks, his music was licensed to labels like Bedrock, Fabric & NRK. In 1998 Rob formed his own world-renowned imprint, Worship Recordings. 

The Shakedown events were soon developed as an outlet to showcase his productions and the artists signed to his label. Twelve years later, the Shakedown is still going strong.

Over the years Rob has performed at some of the most exclusive clubs and events in locations like Canada, Mexico, Jamaica and London. He has played the infamous Fabric, PS1 in NYC, and Francois K's Deep Space event. He has held monthly residencies in San Francisco, weeklies in South Beach Miami, performed year after year at the Shambhala & Soundwave festivals in BC, and is currently holding down residencies in DC and Philadelphia. When we asked Rob about holding it altogether he said "It's really exciting to be able to switch between the two genres of house & reggae... always keeping a fresh perspective on both genres and pushing the limits with new sound elements."

Rob produces the majority of the projects released on Worship. In 1999 he was awarded the 'Most Innovative Producer' by the Philadelphia City Paper. His 'dub house' style of production marked him as a forward thinker, blazing the path for future infusions of dub and house sounds for years to come.

He recently released 'What You See' EP on Matt Tolfrey's LeftRoom Records under the name Circle with partner Keith Landis & Gerhardt Koerner (Rise 8) that is doing extremely well. Being selected by Maceo Plex for recent mix compilation. Circle also released the Dark Waves EP on Worship in January, 2014. And a 45 for the vinyl only dub label ZamZam Sounds with his bredren Ras Heights under the name Heights + Worship. You will see a lot more releases from Circle and Rob Paine's other projects including a full length Rise 8 album and a EP on i Records.

Rob Paine is an innovator, visionary & one of the cities most prolific DJ's, producers & musicians. He continually pushes the elements of dub into house and techno music. He has created a world renowned studio & sound system with his full commitment to the city of Philadelphia's ever continuing music mecca. His talent shines furiously every time he performs whether it is House or Reggae or somewhere in between. Rob Paine does not disappoint. Pure quality every time.
