======================
Westwood is an independent music company and record label celebrated for its hands-on, artist-centered approach. Over the last decade we’ve made it our mission to foster talent on a global stage across an eclectic range of genres. This is a company created by artists for artists.

Founded in 2013 by Nick Middleton of Canadian electronic act The Funk Hunters, Westwood’s footprint in the industry extends far beyond that of a traditional label. Representing international acts transcending conventional genres, Westwood has brought its in-demand presence to stage takeovers at iconic festivals including Shambhala, Rifflandia, and Montercat’s Compound, alongside launching creative industry partnerships with brands like Splice and Twitch. As the label's reach continues to expand to new platforms, Westwood music can be heard on Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Peloton, and Riot Games.

Fueled by a community of like-minded music lovers and an unwavering commitment to quality, Westwood’s focus remains the same ten years in: elevate great music.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.
