Motive EP (LOK 001) 

Focused on tech-house oriented music, Dennis Ihm, who is also part of the founding team of LOK Recordings, produced the title track "Motive" which is full of grave synths and strong arpeggiator sounds. Every remixer placed his own style. The Motive EP is full of emotional breaks, massive leads and rolling basslines. Choo Choo!

Back in 93 EP (LOK002)

Our artist Lonja, also known as Leonid Weidemann, produced three massive tracks for his release. Acid-Lines, bouncing kicks and strong chords are supporting the peaking and the tension building moments of your night. The appended Citizenn remix of „Somnolenz“ is a solid evidence of his unmistakable great style.

Driftwood EP (LOK003)

Niels Poensgen bounces his next sound with full dash on LOK Recordings with Driftwood, a dark melodic tech-house EP consisting of four original tracks and two remixes.

Driftwood reveals a dismal collection of Tech House bangers that combine precise percussion and massive melodic synths. Niels Poensgens vocal cuts add an extra element of eclipse that give the EP a floating and entrancing character.

The berlin-based tech-house craftsman Nils Twachtmann delivers a solid remix which is responsible for the interpretation of the groovyer parts of the original Mix. Twachtmann’s reconstruction is built on the artistic interpretation of only a few fragments and an elegant, wide spreading sound esthetic.

The engineer of the second remix is the Berlin based producer NORR. Who bounced a steady tech groove exploration that fits perfectly to the dancefloor. His vocal cuts help to build up an ascending tension that lingers on till the end of the track.

14.10.2016 exclusive on Beatport

Trainspotting Series

LOK Recordings | Trainspotting #13 by Wagner Luuv

LOK Recordings’ fifth release comes from the co-owner of the label NORR, who has produced three floor-referred tracks in cooperation with the Belgian singer, producer and songwriter Cook Strummer. Soul Distortion consists of three originals and two perfectly fitting remixes by Diynamic’s Magdalena and Aki Bergen & Richter.

NORR and Cook Strummer’s originals absorb the listener with their leading vocals, driving drums and varying harmonic accents. The EP's brooding intensity evolves with haunting synths and subtle acid lines laced over Cook Strummer’s compelling vocals followed by dark, hypnotic layers. 

Magdalena’s remix is a clean production full of drum and hit variations, while perfectly timed saw waves bolster her version of the original track ‘Can’t Stand’. Her method of twisting vocals along with force and energy creates an alluring and unforgettable remix.

The Aki Bergen & Richter remix of “Soul Distortion" bursts with power and demonstrates the duo's understanding of floor related music. A massive unstoppable kick drum, stunning chords, gently used vocals and synth cutouts of NORR’s original compile their driving technoid remix.
