Can the ugliness of the colour be more in contrast with the beauty of the tracks as is the case on WPH Brown? Decide for yourself, but we’re sorry the rainbow colours were all out… Locked Groove has made quite a name for himself in recent years. Hotflush mainstay, Turbo…erm…shortstay and remixer of choice for a variety of killer imprints, including WPH (Orange). Being from Belgium and blessed with a healthy dose of Absurdistan humour it was only logical for him to join our ranks and so here he is with his WPH full E.P. debut. Musically we just told him ‘to do whatever he wanted to do’, and so his love for Detroit and Belgian trance vibes are shining firmly on both ‘Aquarius’ and ‘Latency (Sunrise Mix)’. It would be silly do describe beauty like this…so we just won’t bother. Just get the E.P. and trance the f*ck out of it!

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.
