The Pied-Piper of Tech-Funk Harold Heath returns to the Evasive fold after a short absence since his Red Sky EP was released on Evasive Digital in late 2008. Meanwhile, Harold has been very busy in the studio, resulting in a string of remixes and releases on Lost My Dog, Cubism, Dutchie Music, Mimosa, Terraform, Base Legere, Elevation, Deepology, Heartbeat and Brown Eyed Boyz, as well as forming DoubleHQ, a band with whom he performs live versions of his productions. True to form, Harold offers up these choice cuts that are just simply itching to do some damage on dancefloors this summer. A truly singular producer, Harold has an incredible knack for perverting all things soulful and funky, and this EP is no exception. Filled to the brim with Mr Heaths unmistakable trademark skippy beats n fills, each track takes the listener on a journey of warm filtered chords, pads and lead synths. From the happy-go-lucky vibes of the title track Lock In, the wonky hypnotic groove of After Hours, the slightly dark and melancholic Flexing, to a stripped down adaptation of Lock In in the shape of the Dub Mix. So, don your dancing shoes and be lured to the nearest dancefloor This fantastic EP couldnt fail to impress the industrys most respected tastemakers both home and abroad, including jocks such as Laurent Garnier, Nick Warren, Anil Chawla, Andy Riley and Robert Owens to name just a few.
