LuPS Records [Locked Up Progressive Sounds] was founded by Jacco Oude Kotte (aka Jacco@Work) in March 2008 and is based on the experiences of making 5 years of radioshows and mixes for PureDJ.com, Dynamix-radio, Purefm, ETN.fm and many other stations. Besides that Jacco@Work is around in the musicbusiness for almost 20 years now.
LuPS Records stands for the opportunity to discover the true meaning of progressive house music. Progressive house music in its pure form. Straight from the heart into the mind and body. ‘Heart over Mind’ so to speak (Now the logo has been explained as well ;-) )
Furthermore the label aims to bring you some of the finest progressive house sounds from established and new breed producers all around the world.
And last but not least the labels artwork since release 010 get done by good friend and Illustrator Wizard d-phrag from Bulgaria.

Are you being served?
Well what to say about this occasional team up by Jacco@Work & Nicholas van Orton. It would be best that you get yourself a fork and a sharp knife from the kitchen first before opening up the package. After opening you will find a very juicy and quality piece of musical meat. Bon apetit.
The NvO Aberdeen Angus Mix is just one big piece of quality steak like the famous Aberdeen Angus meat itself.
Built upon the NvO trademark beats, this version drags you into the depths of sounds, together with some rather unsual scratchy catchy fluther elements and a demanding baseline, this version will go down well for sure on the dancefloor.
The Jacco@Work Roodbont Mix is a totally different slice of meat. This version is darker and built upon a deep growling groovy baseline. Furthermore the tracks contains bubbling and swirling arps and of course the usual Jacco@Work acidic edgy sounds and melodies.
