Okain opens LOCUS’ 2022 schedule as he drops his latest EP, ‘Daddy’s Groove’. A long-standing figure within Paris and Berlin’s nightlife scenes, Talman Records boss Okain continues to impress as a DJ, producer and label head at the heart of Europe’s house landscape. Whether releasing material via labels such as Infuse, Pleasure Zone, Eastenderz or Constant Sound, or on home turf alongside the likes of Silverlinings, DJOKO, Leo Pol and Per Hammar, the Frenchman’s blend of tough house merging old and new runs deep throughout his DJ sets and productions. Kicking off 2022 in style, mid-January welcomes a label debut on LOCUS as he drops four crisp efforts across his ‘Daddy’s Groove’ EP. Opening cut ‘Mightnight Feed’ welcomes a slinking track guided by aquatic synths, sweeping electronics and bumping bass, while ‘Tavie One Tooth’ hones in on rich M1 stabs to showcase a bubbling and resonant house affair. On the B-side, ‘Brother Jack’ journeys down a lighter path, combining airy pads with jazzy interludes and subtle yet squelching low-ends, before rounding things out via the slick, classy tones of closing production ‘Green Mousse’.

It’s safe to say that Detroit, a city steeped in economic, cultural and musical history, will soon weave its way into your soul should you spend any sustained time there. This rings all too true for Monty Luke. He has immersed himself in Detroit’s scene since moving to the Motor City in 2008. His new eight track LP, released via Dogmatik, showcases the style of a new generation of Detroit producers carrying the beacon for a deep, Detroit sound that blends analogue weight and punchy drum programming together with masterful synth work and raw emotion.

The Dogmatik imprint returns with a fresh four-track EP from Lumina, entitled 'Long Time Coming' and backed with Rndm and Jimmy Clanfield remixes. Alison Marks and Helen Copnall aka Lumina met during studies at Manchester University where the pair embraced the diverse and thriving rave scene the city has to offer. Soon after meeting the duo begun to craft compositions together, Marks focuses on the sound design, mixing and vocal aspects of the productions, much like she does in her other project Wallflower, while Copnall works the synthesizers with an acute attentiveness for programming. Here we see Lumina offer up a stunning debut under this title via the Dogmatik imprint, following the footsteps of now established artists such as Maya Jane Coles, Dusky and of course label-head Alex Arnout. The original mix of title cut 'Long Time Coming' opens up the release, a charming, understated record led by dreamy arpeggiated synth lines and soft ethereal atmospherics. Wh ile the rugged rhythms and throbbing sub bass tones generate a powerful dance-floor focused edge to contrast the hypnotic textures. Following we're provided with a remix of 'Long Time Coming' from the ever on-point Rndm, a producer who maintains a quality over quantity release schedule, as expected we're treated to a raw and gritty workout fuelled by punchy offkilter drums, infectious low-end grooves and an ever-evolving dynamic laid out over seven minutes, yet another intelligent and dexterous piece of work here from the German producer. On the flip side we have a second offering from Lumina entitled 'Gina X', once again taking on a dreamy feel with jazz-tinged synth lines, swirling, shuffled percussion and tension building strings as the bumpy bass hook carries the groove with ease throughout the tracks duration. The package is then rounded off with a 'Long Time Coming' rework from London based producer Jimmy Clanfield, who tips the focus over to a more reserved, stripped-back feel, bringing penetrating rhythms, heady bass and processed vocal snippets to the forefront, while the subdued synth sounds simmer away in the depths of the background.
