Locked records 001

2007 sees Locked embark upon a new project in the form of a free mp3 web label aimed at pushing the boundaries and strengthening our scene. The new era of Laptop and cd dj's is well and truely upon us so we have moved with the times to provide a solid source of tools, tracks and sounds.
The label will combine the music of established artists with that of the many talented artists around us and the style will venture through techno and its sub genre's. For now it will be MP3 only but there are plans to go vinyl aswell

Here is the first installment:



01 Pacou- Suave
The 1st track from Pacou on this EP, and as expected, he comes up with a complete winner! This track is something a bit different, constructed around a soundscape which is lambasted in deep warm hypnotic synth laden sounds. The B line just sits and rolls alongside all this, creating a tripped out spacey track that is sure to go down a storm in any electronic set.

02 Pacou - 'Dont Get Me Started'
Berlins techno maestro Pacou steps up to the plate with something purely and strictly for the dancefloor. This funky looped driver is sure to bounce any dirty floor hard, containing everything a tough tribal number should, with its finely placed nagging percussion and funky rhythmic shuffles. This track is a real peak time stunner!

03 Dominik Muller - 'Eintracht Hutte'
The EP gets rolling with a cold hearted affair from one of Polands rising dark stars Dominik Muller. This is one for the Industrial badboys out there with its slamming offbeat bassline and hypnotic synth line that fills the track out perfectly.

04 Sinistra - 'Ballista'
An absolute stormer from UK based bone cruncher 'Sinistra'. Truly the heaviest track on this EP, this distorted yet minimal hammerer wraps up the MP3 nicely with its sharp percussive stabs and hissing interference noises. If your techno palette is erring slightly more to the aggressive side this is a must have! A man to watch

05 Only - 'Warfare'
A total shot at the New Skool here with a dark trembling work out from local anarchist 'Only'. On the first listen this sounds like something right from back in the Mid 90s with the simple but effective clattering bassline alongside some subtle but dense percussion. Halfway through you are treated to a killer breakdown that builds to a crescendo of synth based mayhem.
