Locked Groove - Sunset Service (2019)

Locked Groove presents his debut album, Sunset Service. Employing strands from multiple influences that inform his diverse musical output, he applies a contemporary lens to fragments of EBM, New Beat, trance, rave and techno. Written over a one year period with combination of analog and digital equipment at his Berlin studio, Sunset Service documents the synthesis of a carefully studied musical background into one coherent body of work. Across twelve tracks, Locked Groove forges cathartic build-ups with intricate pads and floating melodies, re-purposing references - both subtle and overt - from the musical subcultures of his Belgian homeland. But although there is a strong connection to the past, these allusions are carefully moulded into a singular, forward-thinking sound. Artwork for Sunset Service was conceptualised and produced by Belgian graphic designer Paul Boudens. Special thanks from Locked Groove to: Rosalie, Scuba, Tailored Communication, Pudding, Madeleine, Nate Brown, Alexa, Adam, Stella, Marco, Melissa and everyone who was involved in the making of the album
