Throughout his time in the industry Trent has racked up an accolade of releases on many top labels with current outings on Nicole Moudaber's Mood Records, Yoshitoshi, Defected, Toolroom and more. His chart topping works are found in the record boxes of industry heavyweights like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Carl Cox, Adam Beyer and so on.

Known for his extended sets Trent Cantrelle is a true DJ in the purist form specializing in the art of dance floor storytelling blurring the lines between Techno and House.

When choosing the name for his musical project, Dimitry wanted to communicate the essence of what electronic music truly means to him: the building of a true, deep, and visceral community, connected by and through sound.

Since 2012, Deep Tribe has been uniting musical minds with a signature brand of underground electronic music that speaks to the soul while commanding the body to move. Deep Tribe’s output is a careful blend of emotive deep house, tech house, bass, and techno. Spending the first 18 years of his life in Eastern Europe and shaped by 16 years in Chicago’s iconic house scene, Deep Tribe’s sound is a bold fusion of global vibes and deep, infectious house beats. 

With his tracks consistently making it to the Top 100 charts, Deep Tribe has earned his place as a rare standout in electronic music, seamlessly blending cultures and genres like no other.

Deep Tribe’s catalog is a testament to Dimitry’s eclectic, yet well-rounded, musical mind. Through original productions, remixes, podcasts, and the curating of his very own label, Counterfeit Fun Records, he has built a deeply engaged following composed of peers and fans alike.

Emerging as a force in the underground club scene about a decade ago in Chicago, Deep Tribe is all about electrifying vibes and crowd-moving energy. In 2024, his tech house anthem "Need You" took off, landing on major Spotify playlists and dominating the dance floor. 

Regularly spinning in Los Angeles and holding down multiple California residencies, Deep Tribe teamed up with San Diego’s DJ Wayne Wright for "Act Like It,” EP released on Tiger Records, Germany. The record shot to #7 on Beatport’s Bass House chart and earned a spot in Beatport’s Best Bass House of August 2024 collection, solidifying his place at the forefront of the scene.

In 2023, Deep Tribe's tech-house hit “Uhh Yeah,” released on legendary Lou Lou Records, garnered widespread acclaim and substantial support from a host of industry professionals. The track received rave reviews and enthusiastic endorsements from prominent figures such as Shiba San, BlackVNeck, Nick Fanciulli, Miguel Bastida, Martin Ikin, and many others.

During the summer of 2022 Deep Tribe has brought new energy to his productions delivering heavy tech-house banger entitled - "Melt Me" released by No Definition Records (Switzerland) and gaining support from EDX, Croatia Squad and many others.

Deep Tribe's post-pandemic debut, the bass-heavy house track “Take A Trip ft. Andrew Knopf” on Tiger Records (Germany), has made waves across multiple top 100 charts. This infectious gem, with its compelling groove and memorable lyrics, has a magnetic pull that keeps listeners dancing and singing along long after the music stops. Its undeniable appeal is highlighted by its impressive placement on Beatport’s Top 100 Bass House hits of 2020, affirming its status as a standout release in the genre.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.
