From the Chicago underground, a debut solo 12" from a producer &
fluent live PA artist. Starting out with a background in hiphop (even
MCing!) and various experiments in downtempo, house, and ambient,
Lokua's clear affinity for gritty sounds and heavy rhythms shines
through in the 3-track techno banger that launches CPKAY RCRDS.
The pure physicality of the music is telling, it's knowingly made by
someone who isn't afraid to get sweaty on the dancefloor. Stylistically
connecting the dots between the current sounds of Time To Express &
Ostgut Ton, and the heritage of Chicago's Relief Records and DJ
Hyperactive, these are the essential warehouse sounds for 2012 and
beyond.
