20/11/09 :: Love Birds?
We definitely do. We also love fat birds that get drunk on classy drinks like, WKD and that.
Id even go so far as to say that we Love Birds so much we're willing to DJ with a bloke that goes by that name. SO! If you want to witness some potential artifice then thank them Lesta based boys City Fly for inviting you lot to fancy bar 54 in fancy London on the 20th of Novemeber, if only to watch us Rhythm Platers attempt to do what Mr Love Birds will do probably really well. Mix some housey type records.
Should be a good laugh, so get fulfilled with Farcebook here duck.
07/11/09 :: Grab some Swag with an RP in-store apperance
Yep, we're on hand to tell random people, producers, DJ's, nuns and Paedos how not to promote, market or make yourself known basically.

26/09/09 :: Retune a Detune?
So, alongside Londons Peg Party meister (or should that me mistress?) Miss Fitz and Matlocks finest novelty beat finder Ben Stunt, we'll also be swatting music on some platters.
So get thee sen down Rockshots in Chesterfield on the 26th.
18/07/09 :: Mi Casa tu casa
That ? is Italian for 'Theres a burglar in my house'. Its also English for a blutty good night out, or in if you live at Saltwater?.
Nottinghams most regular deep house crew, MHYH, are celebrating 5 years in business by throwing multiple do's over three days - we're DJing at one of them. That'll be the one that falls on the 18th of july, which is a saturday, which is nice... more info to come as soon as Teletext puts it out.
10/07/09 :: Its (definitely NOT) a London (DJing) 'ting..
We're not entirely sure why either but, as you know, here at RP HQ we arent the types to cause any roast beef between friends, but the rumour mill has it that the venue has an infestation of Frogs. As a result Health and Safety have shut it down until its all cleared up.
We'll let you know of any new dates of course.
20/06/09 :: Echo location takes RP to Barcelona
Natures amazing int it? I mean, how do animals manage to locate themselves using submarine technology??? we bet it requires some serious teaching skills and brain thinking..
Whats that? would you like to learn it to? DEFO!!! After all, how many time have you had a one too many sherberts and wished the pissed bus/taxi had whisked you home and into your own bed, rather than have you wake at some random location (like an after party, a bush or a park bench) half covered in culinary kebab juice, missing your wallet but freezing your gizzard off wondering what just happened 3-4 hours earlier?
Well, Sonar in Barcelona sounds like the place to be on the 20th of july to learn such modern defence skills. Rhythm Plate will be on hand to play you field recordings of badgers, bats and homing pigeons at the prestigous Angels and Kings, which is part owned by Fall Out Boy (the famous nuclear bunker manufacturers, so if you can't feel safe there..!).
ps. thickys need not apply.
10/04/09 :: April Fools DJing
We're Djing in Matlock on the 10th of April for a Wobble. Whats a Wooble then? well, i cant explain it but you can get more details about it over at that place where your mum hangs out to see what youve been up to/how pissed youve been recently, defacebook.com
16/02/09 :: Kolour me bad
As predicted by the most reliable resident Astronomer for the Matlock Miracle Newspaper, Terry Gazon, Dirty has been released on Kolour Recordings in Vinyl format. So use it to cover your kitchen or bathroom floor.
Check it out at these places (amongst many), if you like:
Juno HTFR Uptown Records
14/12/08 :: BBC Radio 1 playing RP music? ..Node Out it was!!
Over at RP HQ we like to think we have our fingers on the pulse of modern society with all its running water and 4 TV channels. So you'll be surprised as us to learn that its only just come to our attention that 'Node Out' was played on BBC Radio 1's Groove Armada stand-in-for-Pete-Tong show back in April 2007!
We both didnt know that music could be speeded up and played that fast without it getting dizzy, but cheers Mr Big C and er, the other one.. Tom?
Heres an MP3 clip of the show
28/10/08 :: Was the Kolour of Dirty
Yep, Rhythm Plate have new 12" due early 2009 on US label Kolour Recordings. Its called 'Dirty' and features some words clevery strung togther to make what some folk call a sentance, and whats more impressive is that it all been done by a nice young Woman. Yep, we're as shocked as you are that this has been able to happen and come out the way it has, but we're actually quite pleased with the result. Anyway, remixes have been telephoned in by Bleep District and YSE, so that should make all the difference.
28/04/08 :: Step 2 txt bby tlk.. ga-ga-goo.. durrr
When aliens finally land and have a laugh out our expense, we reckon that txt messaging talk will be one of the most embarrasing things that mankind will eventually have devolved into using as everyday speech. By todays standards its gone beyond just mobile phones, on to emails, and into song titles.. So why would anyone want to use it except to announce that they can spell? As if we'd ever do that...
So it comes as a surprise that Candy Apple have chosen 2 cal ther nu trk 'Step 2 Me'. We have remixed it, or rather slowed it down...
10/09/07 :: RP are working in the shed on a few new full vocal tracks for your ears...
One is of our mate Clive caught singing in the bath and the other one is with a New Yoik based singer called Frank. We like both in equal measures. The Clive one is a slinky number with extra remixes by YSE (ant plate) and er, us.
28/08/07 :: Robbin' Hudd is in town
Looks like we've got another 12" due out sometime soon! This time its with Yorkshires Finest.. No, no, not the Tea company, we're on about Hudd Traxxx Records of course.
Its called the Robbin' Hudd EP and its release date is yet to be determined (summet to do with the pressing plants midget staff getting too big for their boots and striking - thus resulting in it closing down) but its looking like it's gonna be early september at this rate: so just in time for Summer starting, woo!
so go on, get in. and then get out quick before you all start behaving like a group of post rave ASBO kids outside a norfolk cop shop...

29/07/07 :: Re:Re:Re:Mix
Currently riding high in T4's Pop world chart is our remix of Andy Touchfingers "Ha Ha, Made you look!"
Much like our other remixes this one has a kick drum and a hi-hat pattern. To give you an idea what im talking about and in a 'non-technical' way, we'd say its similar to them old disco records you hear at weddings and on Gem AM radio.
Its available now at your usual vinyl killer (or Digital, as the kids call it today) stockists, so go and grab a copy while you can..
19/05/07 :: So, do you come here often?
Nah, neither do we.. we've been far too busy enjoying the lovely British Summer weather - making hay will the rain, well.. rains and drunky djing at various places up and down the derbyshire dales. So, 'til next time, ta-ra!
21/02/07 :: Om is where the heart is..
Rhythm Plates remix of "ben armswrong and randals suing"s most excellent 'wrong turn' track has only gone and got licensed to some Hippie record label called "Om". Its not even available int shops yet either.
Statistics prove that 90% of people dont listen to any of the first 17 tracks on any dj mix CD.. so we're ok, cos we're the very last one. Noice.
