Recording electronic music since 2001. Inspiration for the first recording came from a 7” found in a Plymouth charity shop. Reworked as “Santa Margherita”, the record was signed by Independiente and released on 12” in July 2003 to become an Ibizan summer anthem and Pete Tong Essential New Tune. Derrick Carter, Peace Division and Guy Williams provided mixes. The original mix appears on Momo's "One Night At Kemia Bar" double album compilation, available to buy here. The B-side “Let’s Stop” emerged later on a Belgian compilation erroneously retitled “Let’s Stop Marx”. In June 2005 The Vanden Plas contributed a track to the Everyman testicular cancer campaign. The short film stars Rachel Stevens enticing men to play with their testicles. Remixes include Martina Topley-Bird, Uniting Nations and The Crimea.

Between 1995 and 1998 Richard and Peter Reynolds recorded an album’s worth of four track pop music comprised entirely of samples from music, television, film and eve-dropped family phone calls. Cut and pasted together using an Amiga 1200, the tracks can be heard online. “Pelham 123”, a funk blast of David Shire’s film soundtrack and The Bee Gees' "You Should Be Dancing" was playlisted by local Oxford station Oxygen 107.9fm in 1997. RMD subsequently also recorded many of Oxygen’s show jingles.
