About Pete
London-based Pete Dafeet is a deep house producer and co-owner of Lost My Dog Records, who started DJing in the late 90s and producing records in the early 00s.
Born in 1983, Pete's break came at the age of 20 when a demo CD caught the eye of Phat Phil Cooper, Yousef, and eventually Shaboom label manager Chris Hunter, who set Pete to work on remixes for the label. Pete has sold more than 20,000 records in the years since, releasing and remixing for labels including Robsoul, Bosh, Detour, and Toolroom—music that's been widely supported by DJs including Mark Farina, Danny Tenaglia, X-Press 2, and Laurent Garnier.
In 2005, Pete started Lost My Dog with friends Ian Straker and Najan Ward. Working with artists including Jay Tripwire, Fred Everything and Rhythm Plate, the trio have established Lost My Dog as one of the UK's leading and most respected deep house labels. DMC Update has described Lost My Dog as “a bastion of pure, deep house”—drawing comparisons with 2020 Vision and Classic Music Company—while iDJ magazine featured Lost My Dog as one of the "100 Reasons Why Dance Music Still Rules", hailing the label as one of the most exciting to emerge from the UK in recent times.
Pete's sideline is Southside Shuffle; a left-of-centre digital label, and a means to promote music from young, like-minded producers.
