Effective period / Period of releases: 1999

Members: Jay Goodwill, Jon Weiss, Scott Weiss

Pathfinders began their career during the transition from analogue to digital in the late 80’s and early 90’s. True pioneers of the modern Deep House sound they helped define alongside first and second wave Chicago House artists.

Their record ‘Can’t Trust Nobody’ featuring Evan Sheare on Active Records in 1992 was regarded by many of their peers as an innovative classic. And their deep rooted sound quickly captivated the attention of heavyweight label Plastic City in the late 90’s. They rose to prominence after releasing their debut ‘Eastbound EP’ on Plastic City in 1999 and were featured on the now cult classic compilation “Plastic City America” in 2001.

Twin brothers Scott and Jon Weiss manipulate the SP1200, cross-faders and turntables direct to tape. The result is a recording that is essentially a live set performed by DJs working in real time. Falling loosely into the category of Deep House, their music is a mixture of warm analogue filters and mind-bending grooves. Throughout their extensive career spanning over three decades, they have shared the decks alongside Josh Wink, Todd Terry and Louie Vega.
