Dominique ‘Erlinda’ Benning

Dominique spent many hours on various Club dancefloors lost in the music… so, when the opportunity arose to learn the craft of mixing on a pair of Kam Belt Drives then onto Technics 1210’s , it did not take long until Dominique was spinning vinyl all over Scotland and further afield, taken to it with ease…every opportunity is taken to spin on vinyl at gigs even now.

Over the last 5 years in her career,Dominique has devoted hours to learning everything she can about new soundz, new technology and has also been producing. With the new digital era her CDJ 2000’s are her prized possession…even although she has got the digital software.and controller set-up ..she does not find this as much of a pleasure to play on as either technics or her cdj’s. Dominique is still being asked to play vinyl sets too and is something says she would love to do more of in the future, “nothing beats, the excitement felt when you get new vinyl, getting out of it’s sleeve, switching the players on…seeing the lights come up..placing the record on and then the needle..before you can hear the.track for the first time even though.you heard it online, it’s not the same is it”.
Dominique’s expression of her love of dance music comes in her track selection and excellent ability to progress the mix and introduce vocals just when it seems right, give it more energy when needed too..as Dominique says herself “from a listening point of view you want to be taken on a journey and as a dancer you want to move in all sorts of ways, nothing worse than feeling like you have danced the same for ages, I’d personally get bored with that, so I play to how I’d like to be made to dance”.

Rowie hails from sunny Durban, South Africa, but now resides in Auckland, New Zealand. He grew up listening to Hip Hop and House so it will come as no surprise that his signature sound is a blend of the two. With those roots he is also at home playing a down tempo vibe incorporating funk, soul and disco. Having moved from the dance floor to DJ booth offers him a nice advantage when reading a crowd during sets. Fun behind and in front of the decks is what its all about.

Welcome to my artistic world dancing my way through life. In all you do find passion & in the pursuit of passion you find you. I am a lover of all genres of music, a former Lightning FM Disc Jockey. A pianist who recently decided to learn the guitar; as well as a song writer and producer for many years.

In the heart of our music lies the spirit of Lockestock, a family band that weaves together the diverse threads of Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and Rap to create a tapestry of sound that resonates with the soul. As the beating heart of this collective endeavour, I am both proud and humbled to introduce our musical journey and the exciting path we tread into 2024.

Lockestock isn't just a band; it's a family united by the love of music and a shared commitment to crafting a unique sonic identity. Comprising of Kevin, Alex & Lewis, we each bring a distinct flavour to the musical canvas, contributing to the harmonious blend that defines our sound.

In the realm of Pop, we find our inspiration in the infectious melodies of chart-toppers and the timeless harmonies that have stood the test of time. It's the kind of music that embeds itself in your memory and becomes the soundtrack to the most cherished moments of life. We believe in the power of melody to evoke emotions, and our Pop elements reflect this belief.

Rock, the genre that pulses with raw energy and unbridled passion, forms another cornerstone of our musical expression. From the anthemic choruses to the gritty guitar riffs, Rock serves as the canvas where we paint the vivid emotions that define the human experience. It's about letting the music speak in volumes, capturing the essence of rebellion and resilience.

Hip-Hop and Rap inject a rhythmic heartbeat into our compositions, adding layers of storytelling and rhythmic complexity. Lewis, with his deft lyrical prowess, brings a narrative dimension to our music. It's about expressing the unfiltered truths, addressing social narratives, and adding a rhythmic edge that amplifies the urgency of our message.

Now, let's talk about what's bubbling beneath the surface for Lockestock in 2024. As we gear up for the release of our new music, we're venturing into uncharted territories, exploring sonic landscapes that transcend the confines of traditional genres. Without giving away too much, I can tell you that we've crafted a sound that is both familiar and groundbreaking. It's a culmination of our musical evolution, a reflection of our personal and collective growth.

In 2024, we're stepping into uncharted territory, crafting a new type of music that defies expectations and blurs the lines between genres. It's an evolution of our sound, a sonic journey that pushes the boundaries of what Lockestock can create. We're excited to share this with you, our extended family, and to invite you to join us on this musical adventure.

As we continue to push the envelope and break new ground, our commitment remains unwavering — to create music that speaks to the depths of the human experience. We invite you to be a part of this journey, to lend your ears to the melodies, to feel the rhythm in your soul, and to embrace the diversity of sounds that define Lockestock.

So, here's to the past that shaped us, the present that fuels us, and the future that awaits us. Lockestock, where family, passion, and music converge into an experience like no other.

With gratitude and anticipation,
Kevin, Alex & Lewis (Lockestock)
