Following last year’s anthemic double-header, “Waves / Shirts Off”, Locked Groove Records is back with our eponymous helmsman tipping a conspicuous cap to his Belgian heritage. “Rave Alerts” does exactly what it says on the tin – a thumping nod to the Ghent glory days of yore, while “Dialogues” favours the trance-fuelled introspection of the early hours. Limited edition, vinyl only by the best Belgian since Hercule Poirot.

Locked Groove back on Turbo bringing Belgian cowbell swag to the party, backed by remixes from Juju & Jordash and Iron Galaxy.
A rising star in the lifestyle house arena, Locked Groove has emerged with EPs on Turbo and Hotflush as a credible voice on the tip of pitchfork's tongue, skillfully balancing DEEP with BALLS. Keep Thorough might be the most accessible and immediate track he's put out so far... the lyrics spell it out: "wanna party, wana get down tonight"... this could rock an office party as well as it would Boiler Room. Dutch duo Juju & Jordash - hotly tipped and recently featured on the new Panoramabar comp turn in a stripped down, jacking remix, built for after-hours warehouse dominance.
Montreal-native Iron Galaxy landed on loads of year end charts as a surprise newcomer with his track 'Attention Seeker.' In addition to a future record on Turbo, he has an EP upcoming for James Zabiela's new label. This remix shows his style developing nicely: warm chords and catchy vocal samples wrapped up in lush analog ambience.

Young Belgian producer Locked Groove (aka Tim Van de Meutter) cements an increasingly central role in the Hotflush family fold with the release of the two part Heritage EP. Since his debut on the label, Tim has propagated what he himself has termed ‘100% House and Techno,’ combining elements of the big room, the deep and moody and straight up four-to-the-floor both into the space of a single track, and across the length of an EP. Taking a marked step on from last year’s Rooted and Keep It Simple EPs, Heritage pursues a joining of musical dots between and beyond classic House and Techno; from the Kerri Chandler-esque House of ‘Wear It Well’ through the epic landscaping of ‘Lost’ to
'Dream Within A Dream''s Blade Runner beach party. In this collection, the young producer delivers two sets of three outstanding, genre-straddling tracks that further help to bolster Hotflush’s legacy as one of the most forward-thinking labels operating in 2013.

Belgian producer, Tim Van de Meutter, aka Locked Groove, returns to Hotflush for a second EP following the success of January’s
pivotal Rooted release. Keep It Simple comprises four weighty examples of why the young producer’s unique fusion of big-room
techno and moodier, deep-house elements has been resonating so loudly of late. Central to the EP is simplicity itself; how simple
structures create something larger than the sum of their parts as “Keep Running”, with its rattling percussion, acidic bass stabs and
euphoric builds, flaunts to the full. “Aller Simple” adds swing to a similar palette that’s as stripped-back as it is heavy-duty. Force is
replaced by introspection on vinyl-closer, “Even” – an inebriated voice reverberates over whispered organs and an understated
groove – while digital buyers are offered a dubbed-out, tool version of “Keep Running”. Simple, but effective

Hotflush presents the debut 12" from Belgian newcomer Locked Groove aka Tim Van de Meutter. The young producer delivers three hypnotizing and genre bending tracks that expertly weave the sounds of Berghain, soulful house and UK garage into a single crushing package. The “Rooted” EP draws you in with the title track, bouncing along to an acid baseline, then moves onto “Drowning”, a moody techno track that was included on Scuba’s DJ-Kicks mix compilation, filled with drum and ambient samples taken from field recordings. Lastly, “Change”, a production that smartly melds classic house grooves with industrial techno, demonstrates Locked Groove's rhythmic finesse and long-term promise as an artist.

Detroit native Reggie Dokes has been a mainstay of We Play House Recordings since the very early years. The reason for that is simple: his music keeps on moving the mind and soul of WPH boss Red D.

For his latest outing Reggie digs deep into his African heritage, inspired by the godfather or Afro Beat Fela Kuti. Original rhythms, killer stabs and a proud display of his blackness make this E.P. into something that takes house music to a whole other level. Just immerse yourself into this one, no questions asked.

Red D’s debut album ‘Fantasize & Realize’ has been doing the rounds for a while now, to much acclaim by many of his fans and peers alike. Some of these peers have been close to Red D for decades and it seemed only fitting to let them have a go at remixing some of the album tracks.

An all star cast of Charles Webster, Kai Alcé, Far Out Radio Systems and San Soda stepped in, chose their favourite track on the album and set to work. The result is ‘Re-Fantasized & Realized’, a killer deep remix package for the ages. We can assure you that Red D himself was mightily pleased with these and we’re sure you will be too.

Things tend to move in circles until they are complete. Such is the case with WPH TEN-8. When FCL released their ‘Cherry Pie E.P.’ on Kai Alcé’s NDATL label it was already decided that Kai Alcé would find a home on WPH as well. And with his absolutely stunning string of remixes of recent years in mind it made sense to ask Kai to take up remix duties for a new FCL release.
.The result is a release that oozes soul all over. The original track is FCL’s ‘let’s make a track and have great singers aka Lady Linn and Gustaph singing about house music’-moment and Kai’s remix is…well…simply another amazing slice of soul from the man that can do no wrong. It’s house music…as you should know it.

Apart from trying to walk like an Eqyptian back in the 80’s WPH boss Red D never knew much about Egypt, let alone knew that one day he would nodding his head to dusty deep house music made by an Egyptian. Enter Adham Zahran, DJ and producer of some of the deepest grooves ever to arrive at WPH HQ.
On his debut E.P. for WPH Adham Zahran presents two pieces of divine house music that ooze soul and musicianship. ‘The Midnight Tower’ will go straight to your hips with it infectious piano hook whereas ‘Disco Infinite’ is a subtle discofied bass affair that would sit well next to classic Theo Parrish or Moodymann stuff. High praise, but just listen and you’ll know it’s well-deserved!

When WPH boss Red D heard â??Toritonâ?? being played by Ken Ishii during a WPH radio takeover on Belgiumâ??s Studio Brussel radio station he ran to the booth and knew this track had WPH written all over it. Not abiding to any trends, just devastatingly beautiful house music.

the label say: What is soul really? The answer to that is a various as the music that claims it. We here at WPH HQ do not know the answer either, but we do know an exceptional piece of music when we hear it. Enter Fabrice Lig, Belgian techno legend with his roots in our little country and his ears definitely in that place called Detroit.

It?s been some 7 years since Reggie Dokes was last seen & heard on a WPH release, so safe to say this one is long overdue. Our Detroit hero took a bit of a hiatus from music production in recent years, but he is back and has been cooking up some serious heat.

This one has been in the making for a loooong time and we do believe you will agree it was worth the wait. TJ Kong has been releasing some serious vocal house masterpieces over the past year on Compost and other labels of fame, so it was only a matter of time before they ended up on WPH. When it comes to vocals few do it better than Gustaph, the Belgian lead vocalist of Hercules & Love Affair and a close friend of the WPH family. Inside story: Gustaph provided non-credited (but paid) backing vocals for FCL’s ‘It’s You’ stormer. With TJ Kong Gustaph takes up the role of both lyrics writer and vocalist and does so to devastating effect in absolute perfect unison with the track provided by TJ Kong & Modular K. It’s classic but very very fresh. On the flipside TJ Kong & Modular K team up with French wonderboy Art of Tones aka Llorca for a trip into house music stabs & strings bliss. If the dream is always the same, we do hope this is the one you are re-dreaming. WPH TEN-3, niceness to the max!

It’s…album time on WPH! Metrobox has cooked us up a collection of original, mindblowing, swinging and most of all beautiful tracks ranging from total dancefloor devastation to introspective journeys. Exactly what an album should be like if you ask us. Which you can if you e-mail to [email protected]
With our regular 12” series both coming to end some people thought that WPH would end as well. You should’ve known better, because there is too much gorgeous music coming from our small WPH family to just let other labels shine with it. And so we have decided to throw caution into the wind and embark on a new story. A story in which our artists get to tell their story by means of a full album. At the heart of Metrobox’ sound is a love for Moog, 909 and SH 101 sounds, combined with a knack for seductive melodies and a healthy dose of vocal action. Two collaborations with WPH head honcho Red D and Belgian MC champ TLP add some extra oldskool flavor to the proceedings. And yes, we are well aware of the fact that double or triple albums are heavy on your budget and that you all prefer to shell out 15 euro for a one-sided limited Detroit release instead of a 12” with three tracks you like…so this album will come in three separately available 12”s, giving you complete buyer freedom.
