V/A - LCSTRAX004 [Locus]

LOCUS unveils the lineup for the fourth installment of its 'LOCUS Trax' VA series, with Danny Snowden, Job de Jong, ADR, and OURMINDZ all making their label debuts across the package.

FLOURISHING as a label with its own identity, FUSE’s sister imprint LOCUS continues to serve up hot-stepping dancefloor material at an impressive standard, with 2023 releases including material from the likes of Lauren Lo Sung, Youandewan, Nolga, Okain, Garrett David and more. Returning with another edition of its ongoing 'LOCUS Trax' VA series, spotlighting renowned emerging talent, late October welcomes four new names to the imprint as UK trio Danny Snowden, ADR, and OURMINDZ are joined by Dutchman Job de Jong.

Danny Snowden kicks things off with the euphoric hues of 'Essence' as he combines shimmering synths with skipping percussion and a snaking groove, whilst Job de Jong dives into rumbling deep basslines and playful, vibrant electronics on 'OOC'. Heading up the B-side, ADR’s 'Bungee Gum' brings hazy chords, winding drums, and subtle acid-tinged melodies, before OURMINDZ combines stinging organ chords and elasticated synths on the lively 'Dusty'.
