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.

LKDNV10 - V.A. - EP [Preview]

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.
