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.
Redloft teamed up recently with newcomer Umut Anacoglu from Turkey. Together they produced a 2 track EP. Just Fantasize is a fine example of melodic prog-house and contains lushy vocals done by Nesli. The original version comes along with a couple of solid remixes done by JOSEL (Deep-House) Matias Chilano (Progressive)and Aeron Aether (Breaks).
Spotless Mind is a perfect example of how emotional progressive house can be.

"Spotless Mind is definitely my favorite in this package. Nice catchy melody, really soothing feel. Also thought the Matias Chilano and Josel mixes were worth noting. Would definitely like to see a dub version in the future, as I tend to stay away from vocals." - 4.0 / 5
