Twitter at http://twitter.com/thevandenplas The Vanden Plas formed in 2001 as a brotherly duo of Peter and Richard Reynolds, bespoke makers of luxurious burbling electronica of Borough Market, London. They had remarkable but short lived success with their first record, "Santa Margherita", a song which uses elements from a 25p charity shop record called "Margherita" by Massara. Independiente released the record as a 12" in July 2003 with The Vanden Plas's "Let's Stop" as the B-side (this record was later mistakenly listed as "Let's Stop Marx" on the Death Disco compilation). Championed by Pete Tong and remixed by Derrick Carter and Peace Divison, the record was a club hit but never released as a CD single. The Vanden Plas recorded a remix of "Anything" for labelmate Martina Topley-Bird but they split soon after and released no further singles. Richard continued with The Vanden Plas and in 2004 remixed Uniting Nation's Top 10 single "Out Of Touch" and in 2005 recorded the soundtrack for a testicular cancer charity film by Everyman featuring Rachel Stevens of S Club playing with a plum. In 2008 Peter concentrates on digital design from his base in Montreal, Canada and in London Richard propagates the idea of illicitly cultivating public space from his website http://www.guerrillagardening.org [The Vanden Plas is entirely different to Vanden Plas who are a German rock group.] User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may ap
