PERMVAC 125EP
|
The title-track, "Thesseus," is a stretched-out Detroit-infused tune with almost hypnotic yet ingenious stabs combined with a strong and moody bass line for which we know Locked Groove best. "Meditations in an Emergency" is one of those tunes you put on at the end of the night or when an emergency to meditate presents itself. In addition to the two originals there's also an excellent remix of "Meditations in an Emergency" by Clockwork (C/W). The remix focuses more on the hard-edged elements of the original, morphing it into something reminiscent of early '90s broken beats/ techno.

WPH BROWN-EP
|
Locked Groove has made quite a name for himself in recent years. Hot Flush, Turbo, and remixer of choice for a variety of killer imprints, including WPH (Orange). Being from Belgium and blessed with a healthy dose of Absurdistan humor, it was only logical for him to join the label's ranks. Musically, they just told him to do whatever he wanted to do, and so his love for Detroit and Belgian trance vibes are shining firmly on both "Aquarius" and "Latency (Sunrise Mix)." It would be silly to describe beauty like this, so we won't bother. Just get the EP and trance the fuck out on it.

TURBO 147EP
|
Locked Groove brings the Belgian cowbell swag to the party, backed by remixes from Juju & Jordash and Iron Galaxy. A rising star in the lifestyle house arena, "Keep Thorough" might be the most accessible and immediate track he's put out so far. Dutch duo Juju & Jordash turn in a stripped-down, jacking remix, built for after-hours warehouse dominance. Montreal-native Iron Galaxy's remix shows his style developing nicely: warm chords and catchy vocal samples wrapped up in lush analog ambience.
