Locked-In is back with a fifth voyage with a four-track odyssey from Benjamin.

Spacious and airy, "Floating" starts the EP with tasteful elegance. Softly interwoven atop a driving kick, Floating takes you on a heady trip through the astral planes of your next summer.

Benjamin turns things up a notch with this groovy slammer, "Deep Trails". A meaty kick and juicy padded-out bass line give the listener something to get their teeth into, whilst the track's snappy percussion provides a playfulness that no dancer can resist.

There's interstellar lift-off when the growling engines of the aptly named "Smashed Star" hit the dance floor. A significant low-end and flirty rhythm section drives the track forward with a momentous entourage of squashed synth patterns and nostalgic sample loops. Strap yourselves in; the only way is up!

"Cosmic Medicine" cools off EP with a horizontal closing that tickles the weary traveller's mind into its deserved bodily rest. Strommesque whistles and twists go through the sumptuous haze of misunderstood vocals and compressed, weighty bass lines. Take a seat and breathe in the light: Your place or mine?

Benji (Benjamin Pratesi), classe 1987, inizia a frequentare musica elettronica all'età di 17 anni, cominciando a frequentare locali in Italia e con l' aumentare dell'età, locali e festival all' estero, avvertendo sempre di più' un particolare legame con quel mondo. La passione per il genere di musica vissuto lo porta a cominciare una collaborazione con alcuni staff fino ad iniziare, nel 2009, una collaborazione con lo staff Fragola, un gruppo che si occupa di pubbliche relazioni e organizzazione di eventi nella nightlife di Firenze. La partecipazione al progetto Fragola comincia con le pubbliche relazioni per il primo anno, per poi iniziare anche la sua carriera come DJ, cominciando a mettere i primi dischi nei locali di Firenze e dintorni come il Tenax, uno dei migliori club in Italia. Con il passare degli anni si esibìsce in piazze importanti, come quella dell' Alchemy Festival a Torino, roBOt Festival a Bologna e del più' importante open air fiorentino, organizzato da Fragola, il Sunflower. Resident del Reunion (Barberino di Mugello), i suoi set sono sempre in evoluzione e maggiormente apprezzati, variando suoni appartenenti alle molteplici tipologie di Techno, House e Minimal.

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.
