VAAL
Dusty Eardrums is very pleased to announce the return of VAAL...this time for a very special evening at Indigo! According to legend, Vaal is the mysterious alias of this unusual dj, one who rarely reveals neither face nor identity, and whose background lies within rock'n'roll and jazz rather than in electronica and black, dance-oriented music. According to the biography, Vaal is unaware of the rules that guide the work of a modern dj, and isn't aware of them, isn't scared of breaking them. This makes Vaal a completely unpredictable selector, capable of swinging between genres without a safety net and with complete freedom of movement. This attitude has won her a small but solid reputation on the underground circuits...
Locked Groove
Recent years have seen the landscape of techno and house change considerably. Locked Groove is one such talent who emerged from these developments.
His strength lies in his uncanny ability to shift between the industrial jams of Berghain and the lighter, deeper tones of spritely Chicago house with real guile and finesse. Both sides of his coin carry strong currency, and effectively showcase his strong natural potential as a long-term artist with a bold, ongoing influence – a true crossover threat.
It's therefore no surprise that none other than Scuba himself has picked up on Locked Groove's vision and ability, having signed him to Hotflush for his debut release. His follow ups, including his double EP Heritage, on Hotflush have also received praise from respected names in the industry.
2014 and 2015 will see him broadening his sound on various labels such as Permanent Vacation and others. Furthermore Hivern Discs released his long awaited remix of Pional's It's all over".
The following months Locked Groove will only keep establishing his name. The future looks bright.
