Locked-In is back in the game with its sixth release, The Amigos EP. This four-track exploration sees rising producers Andy Somoza and Juaan take the helm, crafting an EP destined for the crates of discerning DJs.

Leading the charge is "Disperso," a cheeky and extroverted anthem that injects chopped-up rave stabs and nostalgic vocal breaks into a tight rhythm section. It's a classic Locked-In opener with a fresh twist, sure to get bodies moving.

"5am" dials up the intensity with driving, compressed kicks and dry snares, exuding edgy confidence – perfect for those late-night warehouse sessions where the energy is pumping.

A left turn on the B-side. "Waita" ushers in a spooky atmosphere. Ghostly bells and wet synths dance around an electro snare and airy, galloping hi-hats, creating an intriguing and unsettling soundscape.

The EP closes with "Mi Partner," a masterfully woven tapestry featuring silky vocal samples, driving snares, and a killer bassline. This introspective track beautifully counterpoints the playful energy of the A-side.

Locked-In returns with its eighth vinyl release, showcasing the talents of DOTT in a four-track EP.

The A-side opens with "Shock FM", setting the EP's tone. DOTT's masterful sound design is fully displayed, building tension and release through intricate percussion. The track's progression is sure to captivate dancefloors and headphone listeners alike.

"The Helper Returns" follows, diving deeper into atmospheric territory. Swirling synths intertwine with a driving bassline, evoking vast, subaqueous landscapes. The track's subtle evolution reveals new sonic details with each listen.

Flipping to the B-side, "A Bit of Dis & Dat" presents a more stripped-back approach. Its minimalist structure allows each carefully placed element to shine, from crisp hi-hats to a rumbling low-end. This is DJ material to maintain energy while adding depth to their sets.

The EP closes with "Sine Bass Runs Deep." Here, undulating rhythms and shimmering top-end create a sense of constant motion, perfect for those early morning hours when the dancefloor is locked in a collective trance.

More than a year after its last compilation, Amsterdam’s Locked-in returns with a glistening selection of club-ready tracks further anchoring the label’s progressive groove while opening avenues to different sounds and scenes.

Blending minimal techno and ambient aesthetics, Hamburg’s Rupert Marnie opens up the A-side with “Half-Baked Spel”, a mysterious yet dancefloor-ready cut elegantly setting the tone. Norwegian house and techno DJ and producer A:G (Asgeir Giskegjerde) follows up with an escape into trance influenced sounds, delivering a playful, ambitious and infectious bopper. 

On the flip-side, Barcelona-based Aniano takes things one notch deeper offering a dimmed light minimal groover. With its moody atmosphere and catchy samples, the track gracefully hints at Perlon's catalogue. 

To close the journey, Frog Dog Records crew member Slacks from Philadelphia takes the listener apart with a very subtle emotional break composition, crafting an intricate and moving piece of music reminiscing of good times.

With four tracks stemming from different parts of the world, Locked-In once again showcases the quality of its curation and the consistency of its sound and vision. This release is dimmed to resonate on both dark and sun-drenched dancefloors.

A golden hour transmission from Lisbon, carried straight into the night. 🌅

Mirko Felicioli steps up for the latest episode of the Locked In podcast and honestly this one moves with the kind of warmth and groove that only comes from a selector who truly knows his records. Based in Catania, he is a cornerstone of the Southern Italian underground, a co owner of Litoranea Festival, and the founder of Paradisal Records, and his debut mix for the series is two hours of immaculate pacing that glides between Italo, electro, breaks, progressive house, and techno with the kind of fluidity that makes you forget you are listening to a recorded set at all. This is a journey built on empathy as much as technique, the work of a producer and DJ who knows exactly how to lock you in and keep you there.

LKDNV12 - J6 - DEVIL BABY EP [Preview]

Recorded during the hazy aftermath of New Years’s 2026, in front of my favourite people. This mix captures a beastly ride, drifting through subtle oriental excursions that add right amount of mystique and dept. 

Whilst aiming for interlocking and complementing rythm’s. I tried not to lose my urge for contrast: moments that clash just enough to spark friction, trying to keep the mix alive, restless and always on the move.

In 2019, we set out with a vision that was both simple and deeply passionate: to cultivate a warm and intimate clubbing experience.

Our mission was to blend timeless nostalgia with a contemporary edge.

By 2020, we took a significant step forward by launching our own label. This initiative was born from our desire to amplify the Locked-In sound and shine a spotlight on emerging artists who inspire us and share authentic music. 

Our journey is driven by an unwavering motivation to support and celebrate dance music in all its forms. We believe in the power of music to bring people together, and we’re excited to continue this adventure, inviting you all to join us on the dance floor.
